Overview

The VP−311DVI is a high−performance switcher for DVI−D video, stereo and
S/PDIF audio signals. When configured as a standby switcher, the selected input
switches to the next highest priority input if the signal is interrupted.
The VP-311DVI features:

A maximum data rate of 4.95Gbps (1.65 Gbps per graphic channel)

HDTV compatibility

HDCP compliance

HDMI support for HDMI Compressed Audio Channels

Input/output - DVI−D signals (on DVI−I connectors)

Standby switching priority set with user−definable DIP−switches
The VP-311DVI switches any one of three DVI-D HDCP compliant sources to a
single display device, on DVI-I connectors with the corresponding:

Digital audio (S/PDIF) input signals switched to an S/PDIF output, on RCA
connectors or

Unbalanced stereo audio input signals on 3.5mm mini jack connectors
switched to an unbalanced stereo audio output on a 3.5mm mini jack
connector, as well as to a balanced stereo audio output on a 5-pin terminal
block connector
The VP-311DVI can operate either in the manual mode or in the auto mode:

In the manual mode, the VP-311DVI acts as a regular switcher, switching the
input video and audio signals to the output via the three front panel INPUT
SELECT buttons.

In the auto mode, you can switch any input to the output via the three front
panel INPUT SELECT buttons, but once the selected video signal is lost, the
machine automatically switches to the highest priority input, according to the
input priority setup. The VP-311DVI switches back to the primary input when
a DVI signal is detected on that input.
