4.1 Using the PC and DVD Modes

The VS-41HC has two operation modes that can be set individually for each input:

the PC mode (default) and the DVD mode:

• Use the PC mode when connecting one or more computers to the inputs

using a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable

For example, the Kramer HDMI-DVI gold-plated cable in various lengths (3”, 6”, 10” and

15”).

• Use the DVD mode when connecting one or more DVDs to the inputs

In the PC mode, an input always has access to the EDID (default or acquired) to

prevent the computer from resetting if the output is not connected.

In the DVD mode, an input only has access to the EDID when it is switched to the

connected output.
