Automatic Signal Switching

Automatic signal switching function allows you to easily and quickly choose a source.

  1. If screen display mode is set as Single Screen (default setting), signal switching follows Last-In-First-Out rule. In Single Screen mode, if a new video source inputs, the device will output it to the display screen.
  2. If two video sources are being played in dual view (Split Screen), connect a new video source input to the device: when there’s one hardware video source (HDMI/USB-C) at most among three sources, the latest input source will replace the source that has been displayed the longest on the screen; or the latest input source will replace the previous hardware video source.
  3. If all video sources are removed, the device will output the Home Screen connection guide.
