About Fast Switching
Older display devices require a longer time between the loss of one digital signal
and the introduction of another, as well as a physical disconnection of the
interconnecting cable in order to be able to detect and adjust to the new video
attributes and parameters. Normal switching, therefore, introduced a 5V signal
disconnection along with a delay in switching. Many newer display devices,
however, are now capable of accepting “on-the-fly” switching.
Depending on the display device in use, the
VS-3232DN
allows for fast switching
(minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and
the connection kept alive), see
Section 7.2.4
. 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 products described in this user manual are HDBaseT certified.

About EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a
display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display’s
source). The EDID enables the
VS-3232DN
to “know” what kind of monitor is connected
to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing
data supported by the display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays
only) the pixel mapping data. EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
