2.4. Device Name
Assigns a descriptive name to the VSA-HA-DP device that is a maximum 8 characters
long. This information is stored in the wall plate. Assigning unique Device Names to each
wall plate can be useful to positively identify each wall plate. This can prove handy if you
are going to upload different configurations for each device, or if you intend to connect
multiple devices simultaneously to a PC and use the software to control several at once.
The FACTORY DEFAULT name is USBDEVHR.
You can change the device name only when just one VSA-HA-DP is connected to the
PC.
2.5. Status Bar
The bottom bar of the screen shows the USB connection status as follows:
This indicates the software has not detected any VSA-HA-
DP devices and is searching the USB ports for devices.
Controls are disabled until a valid VSA-HA-DP device is attached and properly identified
by the software.
Shows the number of VSA-HA-DP devices that are connected to the
PC.
2.6. Controls
The VSA-HA-DP creates an EDID table that the source connected
to the input can read. You can control how the parts of the EDID
table that pertain to video capabilities are constructed. Clicking
these controls selects to either PASS-THRU or EMULATE the
EDID.
VIDEO EDID
PASS-THRU uses the EDID from the Sink device (typically the actual display connected
to the output), while EMULATE uses the internal EDID saved in the VSA-HA-DP.
PASS-THRU is the FACTORY DEFAULT setting.
Clicking this control will extract the EDID from device connected to
the output connector and save it in the unit.
Learn EDID
The user must confirm the action.
