VS-1616D-MD - Overview
Depending on the display device in use, the
VS-1616D-MD
allows for fast
switching (minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no
reset and the connection kept alive), see
Section
8.2.4
. Using the fast and extra
fast switching modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using
high performance display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

About HDBaseT™ Technology
HDBaseT™ is an advanced all-in-one connectivity technology (supported by the
HDBaseT Alliance). It is particularly suitable in the consumer home environment
as a digital home networking alternative where it enables you to replace numerous
cables and connectors by a single LAN cable used to transmit, for example,
uncompressed full high definition video, audio, IR, as well as various control
signals.
The HDBaseT products described in this user manual are HDBaseT
certified.

About the Power Connect™ Feature
The Power Connect™ feature means that the
VS-1616D-MD
can supply power
over the TP cable to compatible DGKat devices (for example, the
TP-573
or
TP-574
) when the devices are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power
Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance
does not exceed 90m on standard TP cable. For longer distances, use heavier
gauge cable (TP cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for
feeding power at these distances).
