Figure 2

, do the following

2

1.  Connect up to two DVI sources to the INPUT connectors, as follows: 

 

INPUT 1 connector to DVI source 1 (for example, a computer) 

 

INPUT 2 connector to DVI source 2 (for example, a set top box) 

2.  Connect the OUTPUT connector to the DVI acceptor (for example, a 

DVI display). 

3.  Connect the 5V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the 

adapter to the mains electricity (not illustrated in 

Figure 2

). 

4.  If required, connect a PC or controller to the RS-232 port (see

output.  

The SELECT button toggles between INPUT 1

 

and INPUT 2, lighting 

the IN 1 LED when INPUT 1 is selected, or the IN 2

 

LED when IN 2 is 

selected. 

2  Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting  it to your VS-21HDCP-IR. After connecting your  
VS-21HDCP-IR, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device 
3 Alternatively you can press key 1 or 2 on the remote transmitter, once setup (see 

Section  5.2

), or use the contact closure 

remote control pins (see 

Section  5.3

) or use RS-232
