Operation
OSD – On screen display
In each of the viewing modes offered by the switch you will see the OSD appear in the top left of the picture for each input whenever you make a change to the video channel, viewing mode or audio channel. The OSD will stay on for a few seconds and then disappear. In the example shown, CH1 is the video channel, the ♪ icon denotes that the audio source is from CH1 and 1920x1080P is the resolution of the input video signal.
CH1 1920x1080P
Viewing Modes
Standard
Displays a single input on the connected HDMI display, the input can be selected using the corresponding input button (IN1-4) or ◄ / ► button on the remote control. To return to standard mode from another viewing mode simply select the required input using the input button (IN1-4). When standard mode is being used only audio from the selected input can be used, there is no option to switch to audio from another input. The audio button on the switch or remote control can be used to turn audio on/off; when audio is on the on the ♪ icon will be visible in the OSD next to the channel indicator.
Quadview
All four inputs are displayed at the same time in a quadrant layout as shown. The layout of the quadview mode is preset and cannot be adjusted. The quadview mode can be accessed directly by pressing the quadview button on the remote at any time. When quadview mode is being used the audio channel in use will be from the most recently used channel, so for example if you switch from input 1 directly to quadview mode then the audio from input 1 will be used, this is denoted by the ♪ icon being displayed in the OSD of that input as shown above. Pressing the audio button on the switch or remote control will switch the audio to the next input with each press and then after input 4 to audio off (no ♪ icon is displayed) before returning to input 1 with the next press e.g. 2 > 3 > 4 > Mute > 1.
Picture and picture
Within picture and picture mode there are 2 different configurations as shown below, they can be accessed by pressing the quadview and then mode buttons or by repeatedly pressing the mode button on the switch or remote control. Each press of the mode button cycles to the next configuration, the first configuration is available by pressing the mode button when in quadview mode.
When picture and picture mode is being used the audio channel in use will be from the most recently used channel, so for example if you switch from input 1 directly to quadview mode and then to picture and picture mode the audio from input 1 will be used, this is denoted by the ♪ icon being displayed in the OSD of that input as shown above. Pressing the audio button on the switch or remote control will switch the audio to the next input with each press and then after input 4 to audio off (no ♪ icon is displayed) before returning to input 1 with the next press e.g. 2 > 3 > 4 > Mute > 1.
Dual video
There are two dual video configurations, each displaying two inputs side by side. To access dual video mode press quadview and then the mode button six times, alternatively you may access dual video mode by pressing the mode button until you reach the first dual mode configuration. The first configuration shows inputs 1 and 2 side by side, press the mode button again and the second configuration shows inputs 3 and 4 as shown below.
When dual video mode is being used the audio channel in use will be from the most recently used channel, so for example if you switch from input 3 directly to quadview mode and then to dual video mode the audio from input 3 will be used. Audio switching can be completed using the instructions from picture and picture mode.
