Note:
There is no IN 4 or OUT 4 because these slots contain DVI dual link cards.
On all cards apart from the DVI dual link cards, there are two physical ports on
each card and numbering of ports is sequential from top to bottom and left to right.
Each DVI dual link card provides one physical port which causes the loss of one
number in the numbering sequence of that card only. A sample numbering is
shown in
Figure 5
and described in the table that follows it.
6.2.1
EDID Numbering Examples
The following table is based on the port numbering shown in
Figure 5
and lists
requested switching configurations and their results.
EDID Request
EDID Sent
From OUT 4
Blank (256 bytes of 0xFF)
From IN 8
None (error message displayed)
Note
: AV data flow is:
source
>
VS-1616D-MD
>
display
. EDID information flow
is:
display
>
VS-1616D-MD
>
source
, which means that the EDID input is the
display side and the EDID output is the AV source side. This is the reverse of the
AV data flow direction.
When assigning EDIDs, note that the top row of the LCD display labeled
OUTPUTS relates to the ports connected to the sources (AV inputs), and the
bottom row of the LCD display labeled INPUTS relates to the ports connected to
displays (AV outputs).
In
Figure 6
, the EDID from EDID input 8 (
VS-1616D-MD
Output port 8) has been
assigned to all EDID outputs (
VS-1616D-MD
Input ports).
