Overview
With more and more HDMI devices entering the Home Theater market, the need for simultaneous access to different HDMI A/V sources is becoming increasingly important. Now, the VS0801H 8-port HDMI Switch offers an easy and affordable way to add HDMI capabilities to your home theater system by allowing you to switch easily between up to eight HDMI A/V sources that are connected to your HDMI display.

The remote control and convenient front panel pushbuttons allow you to quickly and easily toggle between HDMI sources, the front panel LEDs indicate the source device at a glance.
Furthermore, for complete system and install integration, RS-232 control is standard through the VS0801H’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial port that allows the switch to be controlled through a high-end controller, PC, and/or home automation / home theater software package.

Installation
1.Make sure that the power to all devices you will be installing has been turned off.
2.Make sure that all devices you will be installing are properly grounded.
Installation of the VS0801H is simply a matter of plugging in the appropriate cables.
To install the switch, refer to the installation diagram on page 12 as you perform the following three steps:
1.Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI input port on the video display device to the HDMI output port on the rear of the VS0801H.
2.Use HDMI cables to connect the HDMI output ports on the source device(s) to the HDMI input ports on the VS0801H. Eight HDMI input ports are located on the rear of the switch.
3.Plug the provided power adapter into an appropriate AC power source; plug the power adapter cable into the Power Jack on the VS0801H.
This completes the basic installation of the VS0801H 8-port HDMI Switch. You may now power on the display and source devices.
Installing the RS-232 Controller
In order to use the RS-232 serial interface to attach a high-end controller (such as a PC) to the VS0801H, use a serial cable such as a modem cable. The end connecting to the VS0801H should have a 9-pin male connector. Connect this to the serial interface on the rear of the VS0801H. Refer to number 4 on the diagram on page 12.
Note: To configure the controller serial port, see page 14.
