2.5.2 Attaching DVI video sources Next step in setup procedure is attaching video sources. To avoid damages is VSDxx and your existing video sources, all connections between components are to be done when ALL units are powered off. Now ensure that you have powered off all video sources and the VSDxx. -

connection and turn off the LED. The text diplay will show a minus sign under the selected output number, to show the “off”-connection. 3.4 Save and recall of presets You can save or recall a routing setup any time you like. By saving a preset, you can preserve a complex setup for later use. -
Page 10: Menu Functions
3.5 Menu functions 3.5.1 Menu system Using the built in menu system, more complex system functions are available. To handle the menu system, you have to use the four cursor buttons (arrows up, down, left, right) and the “enter” button, located right of the “right” cursor button. With those buttons, you can navigate through a menu tree, to access more complex system functions. -

3.6 Console and TELNET access 3.6.1 Introduction to Console/Telnet Console and Telnet connection to the unit is different in terms of electrical connectivity, but both access methods share the same command set and handling. For serial remote control, please use the serial cable shipped with the unit. The cable is to be connected to any available serial port (i.e. -

Using the web interface of the unit, you can even assign a own name of the bank, but this is not avalable via Console or Telnet. 3.6.2.3 edid_mode Format 1: edid_mode Displays the behavoir of EDID/DDC for each input. This is a typical printout (factory setup): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 DDCM:S S S S S S S S When reading the example, the first row will list all inputs available at the unit and the second row will... -

Format 2: edid_mode in mode Parameter: in = [1..input count available]: number of input used mode = mode character (see table 1) Modify the EDID operation mode of input number #in. Command is executed directly. The new mode of EDID behavoiur is stored persitently, so even after power reset, the input will behave the same way. 3.6.2.4 edid_read Format 1: edid_read N Parameter:... -

The input EEPROM #M is overwritten immediately, independent of the EDID mode (-,S,F,T) of the input #M. When EDID mode if “follow” (F), the input EEPROM is overwritten again after next change of routing which concerns input #M (because fulfilling the Follow-behaviour). Preffered application of this command is using it with inputs in „static“... -

3.6.2.15 reboot Format: reboot Reboots the systeme immediately. Same as power off and on again. You will loose all your telnet and web connections when rebooting your system. And you will be logged off the serial console, but reboot messages are still displayed in serial terminal. Remark: when rebooting, system is first starting a so called “Bootloader”, which is intended for supporting firmware upgrades and system management. -

3.6.2.18 sys_addusr Format: sys_addusr name password Parameter: name = user name, 15 characters max. password = passwort, 15 characters max. Adds a new user to user management. After successfull command execution (no message) the new user can connect to the unit using the new name and password. If entered name or password do not fullfill length and format reqirements, an error message is displayed. -
Page 20: Sys_Temp
3.6.2.21 sys_temp Format: sys_temp Displays system’s temeperature sensors readings. Unis are degrees Celsius. Example: >sys_temp Temp(0) = +37.875 Temp(1) = +28.000 Sensor 0 is located near main DVI procressor and in thermal contact with it. Sensor 1 is located near the unit’s internal power supply. -

3.7 Webserver The built-in webserver can be reached using any browser: http://(ip-adr) If VSDxx is connected to a TCP/IP network, you can query the current IP adress using the menu tree unter: STATUS/ NETWORK STATUS/ IP Because VSDxx uses “Javascript” as http extension, your browser must support Javascript. Manufacturer qualifies current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera and FireFox. -
Page 22: Safety Requirements
4 Safety requirements VSDxx unit only may be operated on mains systems having power earth (PE) for grounding the system chassis. The power earth contact of the power cord never must be covered or destroyed when plugged to the unit or the mains outlet. 5 Electromagentic compatibility (EMC) VSDxx was tested and qualified sucessfully according CENELEC EN 60601-1-2 (1993). -
Page 23: Technical Manual
7 Technical manual 7.1 DVI routing VSDxx is build to route DVI video signals (and their implicit display info) from inputs to outputs. It approves DVI1.0 standard, having the maximum transfer rate of 1.65GBit/s on every video data differential line. With that, you can have video resolutions of up to 1920x1200 Pixels (at 60Hz repetition rate) on each of the in- puts and outputs. -
Page 24: Labels And Symbols
C) EDID pass-through („THROGH“): In that mode, the DVI input’s display data channel (DDC) is electrically connected to the DDC of the output it is connected to. The video source is now reading the EDID directly from the dis- playing device, without any modification. In doing so, VSDxx is supporting HDCP encrypted video content, because this encryption requires that video source and displays permanentely negotiate the current encryption keys for the video content. - Page 25 The rear faceplate has these labels: label meaning TCP/IP TCP/IP interface for control via ethernet 10/100MBit/s RS232 Serial interface for control of VSDxx via RS-232 INPUT 1 ...
