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.
With eight HDMI A/V input ports, the VS0801H 8-port HDMI
Switch allows you to connect eight HDMI devices (such as an HD
camcorder or satellite box, HD-DVD player, hi-def Blu-ray player,
home theater PC, stand-alone streaming media player, gaming
console, etc.) to your HDMI monitor, display, projector or TV at
the same time. 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.
