Connecting and using the switch
The Vivanco HDHD 3>1A(-N) is designed for connecting up to 3 HDMI
video sources to one LCD TV, plasma TV or beamer. Tiresome discon-
nection and reconnection of cables to the LCD TV, plasma TV or beamer
from now on belongs to the past! To switch between the different video
sources, two possibilities are at your disposal:
Manual: For manual switching, make use of the manual switch button
(1) fitted to the HDMI switch. If only one video source is connected to
the HDMI switch, the manual switch button (1) is deactivated.
Automatic: The Vivanco HDHD 3>1A(-N) is designed in such a way that
the last activated video source will be recognised as the player to be
used, and subsequently to be switched. Example: you have just finished
watching a DVD played by your DVD player and now want to play a
game on your Sony PlayStation
latter. The switch then automatically recognises the Sony PlayStation
3, and switches accordingly. Once the game is over, and you switch off
the Sony PlayStation
switches back to the DVD player (this only works provided that none of
the video sources connected and being on standby has a voltage
present at its HDMI output).
