Product Introduction

Thanks for choosing the PT-SW-HDBT41 4x1 HDBaseT Switcher with automatic signal switching. The switcher features four HDBaseT inputs, one HDBaseT output and one HDMI output. It also supports HDMI 1.4 and video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:2:0.
In auto-switch mode, it switches to an HDBaseT input as soon as a new source is connected. When the active input is removed, the switcher will select the first source on the lowest numbered input. The switcher can also be controlled via RS232, IR with an appropriate control system or via front panel buttons.

System Diagram

The following diagrams illustrate typical input and output connections that can be utilized with this switcher:

Button Control

• Manual Switch Mode Step1: Press SELECT to choose the HDBT or HDMI output channel, Step2: Press button 1~4 to select the input source channel.
• Auto Switch Mode Step1: Press SELECT to choose the HDBT or HDMI output channel, Step2: Press AUTO to enable auto switch mode. The LED will illuminate blue. When in auto switch mode, the switcher follows this sequence:

1. The switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at input 1 to 4.
2. Pressing the source button (1, 2, 3 or 4) can manually change the input source.
3. New Input: Upon detecting a new input, the switcher will automatically select the new source.
4. Reboot: Once power is restored to the switcher, the last selected output will remain active. The switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDBT input 1.
5. Source Removed: When an active source is removed, the switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDBT input 1.
6. Pressing AUTO again exits the auto switch mode while the active input channel remains.
7. When change the input source of the wallplate transmitter, the input channel of the switcher will automatically switch to this input source.
8. Does only work with matching PT-HDBT-703-TXWP

Note: Factory default is auto switch on and HDBT output channel activated.
