APPLICATION EXAMPLE

Cascaded VOPEXs
For an application where more displays need to be viewed, the VOPEX can be cascaded for connection to more Receivers with zero latency.

IR PIN DEFINITIONS

Note: When the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is t 45 °, the transmission distance is 0-5 meters; when the angle between the IR receiver and the remote control is 90°, the transmission distance is 0-8 meters.

EDID MODES

The EDID Modes are determined by the DIP Switch settings and are defined in the chart below.

ASCII COMMANDS

The VOPEX also supports ASCII command control. Connect the RS232 port to a computer with a 3-wire cable. Then open a serial program (i.e. HyperTerminal) on the computer to send ASCII commands to control the VOPEX. A list of ASCII commands are below.
