3.4 Application

This switcher has a good application in various occasions, such as computer realm, monitoring, conference room, big screen displaying, television education, command & control center and smart house etc.

Input Source Switching

The button “SOURCE/MODE/3s” on the front panel can be used to select input source and switch mode.

Manual Switching Mode

Press “SOURCE/MODE/3s” button to switch circularly among input 1~4, the corresponding indicator illuminate green synchronously for easy recognition.

Auto Switching Mode

Press and hold the button “SOURCE/MODE/3s” for 3 seconds or more to switch between the manual and auto modes. (Default: Manual switch.). Once enter auto-switching mode, the “AUTO” LED will light up.
The auto-switching mode abides by the following principles:

• New Input Once detecting a new input signal, this switcher would switch to this new signal automatically.
• Power Rebooting This switcher support power off memory function. If the last selected signal is still available, the switcher will still output the signal. If not, the switcher will detect all the input signals with priority from “IN 1” to “IN 4” ports. When detected the first signal, it will transfer to output.
• Signal Removing Once removing the current input signal, this switcher will detect all input signals with priority from the next input port. It will transfer the first available source to the output device. For example, the selected input signal is “IN 2”, if you disconnect the current input source, PT-SW-HD41UHD will detect all input signals according to the following order: “IN 3”, “IN 4”, “IN 1”, and then the first available source will be switched as input.
