Multiview Display
When only one HDMI display is attached to either HDMI OUT1 or HDMI OUT2, the device supports up to four video sources to be played on the display
screen as the following:
1. As the video sources to be displayed increase or decrease, the device automatically changes to a new screen layout so that all video sources can be
displayed appropriately on the entire screen.
2. As the video sources increase till there’s no available screen layout to accommodate for all these sources, if a new video source inputs, the source that
displays on the screen for the longest will be displaced by the latest input source.
If you use the SELECT button on front panel to select a video source to be played, the device will exit Multiview Display mode and display the source in
full screen.
Automatic Signal Switching
The device supports automatic signal switching function, allowing you to easily and quickly output desired sources. It follows Last-In-First-Out rule:
1. When only one video source is connected to the device, HDMI OUT 1 and/or HDMI OUT 2 will automatically output this video source to the display
screen(s).
2. When a video source is to be input in the case that four video sources are being played in quadruple view on one display screen, this latest input
source will displace the source that is present the longest. More information, see the switching mechanism in Multiview Display section.
3. When no active video source is connected to the device, the output display shows the Guide Screen image nally.
The device also provides three methods to select specic video source manually:
1. Using the front panel buttons to output corresponding hardware video source.
2. Using web UI.
3. Using API commands. For more information, please see the separate API documentation.
Display Mechanism of HDMI OUT1 & HDMI OUT2
By default, when HDMI OUT1 and HDMI OUT2 are connected to two display screens respectively, the two output ports work as follows:
1. Each of the HDMI outputs displays the video in full screen view.
2. If the device detects no active video source, both HDMI outputs display Guide Screen.
3. If the device detects only one active video source, both HDMI outputs display this video source.
4. If the device detects the quantity of the input video source increases
Dual Desktop Mode for HDMI Inputs
Dual Desktop mode is available and runs as follows:
1. When HDMI IN1 and HDMI IN2 are being output, Dual Desktop mode is activated: the source at HDMI IN1 is delivered to HDMI OUT1, and source at
HDMI IN 2 is assigned to HDMI OUT2.
2. If a video source is to be input in the case that Dual Desktop mode is activated, the source that is assigned to HDMI OUT2 will be displaced by the
recently input source, and the device will exit Dual Desktop mode.
3. When Dual Desktop mode is activated, if one HDMI source at either HDMI IN1 or HDMI IN2 is removed from the device, the device exits Dual Desktop
mode and the two HDMI outputs display another HDMI source.
