NOTE: If no screen displays, follow these steps:
Installation Steps
NOTE: When each video source is powered on, make sure it has a display pointing to it for EDID communication. If a source does not have a display pointing to it, a video image might not display.
LED Indicator
The Power LED turns green when the video switch is powered on. When a video port is selected, its corresponding Port LED turns yellow.
Push Button
Press the corresponding button to select a port.
EDID Setting
In some cases, display problems may occur because of incorrect Extended Display Identification (EDID) communication between the display monitor and the unit. This function allows the system either to read the necessary EDID information from the unit, or to copy EDID from EDID-compliant displays.
Default Setting
To reset to the default EDID:
Step 1: Press and hold the "EDID Copy" button on the unit and release the button RIGHT AFTER the Power LED flashes red (6–7 seconds).
Step 2: The LED lights steady red and green indicating that the EDID default setting is completed.
Copy (New) Monitor EDID
When using a monitor (EDID-compliant) for display, the unit's EDID Copy function will enable EDID communication between the monitor and the unit for optimal video quality. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Power on the unit.
Step 2: Connect the EDID-compliant monitor to the switch and power on the monitor.
Step 3: Press the "EDID Copy" button for 3–5 seconds, and release the button RIGHT AFTER the Power LED flashes green.
Step 4: The Power LED flashes red and green alternately, then lights green indicating that the copy is successful.
NOTE: If the Power LED flashes red, the reason could be:
Figure 5-1. Remote control.
The remote control operates within a 1.5-ft. (5-m) range of the DVI switch. To select a source device with a remote control, press the number button (1–8) to directly switch to the corresponding port.
NOTES:
The DVI and audio switches' built in serial interface enables users to control the switch via a PC, serial controller devices, or home theater system. The controller's serial port should be configured as shown in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1. Serial parameters settings.
Parameter | Setting |
Baud Rate | 9600 |
Data Bits | 8 |
Parity | None |
Stop Bits | 1 |
Flow Control | None |
To select a source device via serial interface, select the number that corresponds to the port. For example, send "1" to switch to Port 1.
