Seamless switch mode
1 . Input 4 must be configured as passive. Turning seamless switch mode on
automatically configures input 4 as passive if necessary.
2 . Turning seamless switch mode off does not reconfigure input 4.
3 . When seamless switching is on; and you switch to input 1, 2, or 3; that
input is synced to the input 4 reference. The synced input 1, 2, or 3 is
termed the “channel in common”. Seamless switching only occurs
between the passive channel 4 input and the channel in common input.
Switching between input 4 and a non-common in channel input occurs
during the vertical interval of input 4. There is a slight delay without
blanking while the new input syncs to input 4 and becomes the new
channel in common input.
When you switch between two scaled inputs without going through input
4, the switch is not seamless. A brief blanking interval is seen on the
output.
Seamless mode on [SM1] [OK] Turn seamless mode on (and
configure input 4 as passive, if
necessary).
Seamless mode off [SM0] [OK] Turn seamless mode off.
View seamless mode [SM?] [ X2 ] View seamless mode status.
