Auto-Input Switching The DTP T SW4 HD 4K switcher can automatically select the active, connected input based on detection of an active video signal (TMDS clock activity). If two or more inputs are active, the highest-numbered input port with an active signal is selected. When auto-input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel (see figure page 13) lights and the front panel input buttons are disabled.

EDID Minder The DTP T SW4 HD 4K switcher uses EDID Minder, which ensures that a source device connected to the HDMI input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even after the sink is disconnected. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio (slot 11). Additional available values are shown in the table below.
HDCP The DTP T SW4 HD 4K switcher acts as an HDCP and HDMI repeater by actively handling HDCP key negotiation and authentication on the inputs and the output. However, it does not report itself as a repeater or forward a KSV list. The switcher supports HDCP output mode. Input The HDMI input negotiates and authenticates HDCP with the source device if the source requires HDCP encryption.
