To easily manage your HDMI sources and displays with the StarTech.com VS222HD4K 2x2 HDMI Matrix Switcher, you have several options. You can use the included remote control or the front panel buttons. Here's a breakdown of the switching methods:
- Manual Mode: Press the Manual button to cycle through your input devices, from Input 1 to Input 2. The LED Port selection indicator will illuminate to show the currently selected input port.
- Priority Mode: If you want automatic switching based on priority, connect your preferred source to Port 1. When this device is powered on, the switcher will automatically select it. When the prioritized device is turned off, the switcher reverts to the other connected source.
- Automatic Mode: Both displays automatically switch to the most recently activated device. For example, if you're watching TV and turn on your Blu-ray player, the display will switch to the Blu-ray player. To return to the TV, turn off the Blu-ray player, or turn the TV back on if it was off while the Blu-ray player was active.
- Matrix Mode: This mode gives you the flexibility to direct either video source to either or both displays. Each display has its own Manual Switch. Press the Manual Switch for Display 1 once to show Input 1, or twice to show Input 2. Do the same for Display 2.
