your HDMI / DVI source (i.e., DVD, set-top box) or the input port of an HDMI
display using a HDMI / HDMI to DVI adaptor cable. When connecting with
an input source, the other HDMI/O must connect with the output port of
your display. You cannot control two sources/displays.

②

USB communication port: This slot is where you connect a mini USB to
USB A type cable to the PC/laptop when controlling the devices over
RS-232. Detailed specifications are listed in next section. Also this port
provides power for the device when the connected PC or laptop is turned
on. However when not using RS-232 mode no power is needed, so it will
