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.

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.

1920x1080P

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 five 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 completed using the instructions from
picture and picture mode.
