The VS481C does not switch ports automatically.
The VS481C switches to the next port that has a new
source device connected to it.
The VS481C switches to and only displays the source from
a user-defined port as soon as a source is detected from
the port.
The Power-on Detection (POD) mode allows the VS481C
to automatically switch to the next port with a powered-on
source device when the currently connected source device
is powered off. The POD mode works independently of the
other switch modes.
