the current channel either by the optional RC4 controller, commands sent via
RS-232 serial input or by switching one of the four channel select input\
lines. For
more details about the necessary RS-232 serial cable, see Appendix 2.

Managing EDID video display information
Whenever a AV4PRO-VGA unit is powered on (or when the option is
selected from the configuration menu), it will interrogate the connected
monitor(s) to determine whether EDID (Extended Display Identificati\
on Data)
information is available. If EDID information is available, it will be c\
opied and
used; otherwise a default set of data, stored within the AV4PRO-VGA, wil\

Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the internal firmware code. If the upgrad\
e
process is interrupted then the unit will have invalid code and will not\
be able
to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade pro\
cess
is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectifie\
d by
performing another upgrade.
