    10 Installing and Using the Test Module to Troubleshoot Video Problems The VS-1616D includes a test module which can act as a video signal generator and can be used to diagnose video issues in an operating environment. The test module must be installed in the configuration before it can be used. When installing the test module, the number of configured inputs and outputs must be increased by one.

  • Page 51: Setting The Resolution Of The Generated Video

    Installing and Using the Test Module to Troubleshoot Video Problems 5. Increase the number of configured inputs and outputs by one (see Section 6. Power cycle the device. The test module is now installed and may be used. 10.2 Setting the Resolution of the Generated Video The test module generates a range of both PC and HD resolutions which are selected by a combination of DIP-switches and an on-board jumper (labeled B3).

  • Page 52: Setting The Pattern Of The Generated Video

    The test module may be used in various ways to isolate video problems. The following examples are based on the signal paths shown in Figure 15 and a VS-1616D device installed as follows:  16 inputs and 16 outputs  The test module is installed and configured (see Section 10.1)
