Operating and Controlling the
VM-218DTxr
Control VM-218DTxr in the following ways:
• Using the Front Panel Buttons on page 15.
• Acquiring the EDID on page 15.
• Using the Ethernet on page 16.
Using the Front Panel Buttons
Use the VM-218DTxr front panel buttons:
• Press VOLUME and to set the analog audio output volume.
• Press INPUT to select the required input (indicated by HDMI and HDBT LEDs ).
• Press EDID SELECT and EDID READ to acquire the EDID (see Acquiring the
EDID on page 15).
Acquiring the EDID
Initially, each input on the VM-218DTxr has a factory default EDID loaded (see Default EDID
on page 38). This lets you connect the power to VM-218DTxr while an active source is
connected before having to connect one of the acceptors. VM-218DTxr reads the EDID,
which is stored in the non-volatile memory and uses it for the active connected sources.
In the same way, the acquired EDID from a connected output or an external source is stored
in the non-volatile memory.
You can acquire the EDID from any of the following sources:
• DEFAULT: The factory default EDID.
• OUTPUT: Active acceptors that are connected to OUT 1 HDMI or OUT (2 to 9) HDBT.
• EXTERNAL: A custom EDID (acquired via EDID Designer software, by connecting a PC
to VM-218DTxrt via RS-232 or USB ports).
You can acquire the EDID using:
• The front panel buttons (see Acquiring EDID via the Front Panel Buttons on page 16)
• The embedded web pages (see Managing EDID on page 24)
