) is a data-structure, provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to the source. The EDID enables the VS-21HDCP-IR to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

1 No Null-modem adapter/Connector is required 2 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-21HDCP-IR. After connecting your VS-21HDCP-IR, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device 3 Alternatively you can press key 1 or 2 on the remote transmitter, once setup (see Section 5.2), or use the contact closure...
Figure 2: Connecting a VS-21HDCP-IR 2x1 DVI Switcher 5.1 Controlling the VS-21HDCP-IR via RS-232 You can connect to the VS-21HDCP-IR via an RS-232 connection using, for example, a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required. To connect to the VS-21HDCP-IR via RS-232:...
You can use the remote control transmitter to switch INPUT 1 or 2 to the output. Before doing so, set it to work with the VS-21HDCP-IR by assigning a GROUP number. To assign the GROUP number on the remote control transmitter, do the following: 1.
