TL-SM3X1-HDV User Manual 1. Introduction 1.1 Introduction to TL-SM3X1-HDV The TL-SM3X1-HDV is a 3x1 video switcher with two HDMI inputs, one VGA input and one HDMI output. The unit supports HDMI video resolutions up to 4K@30, as well as multichannel audio. The unit supports VGA video resolutions up to 1920x1200@60Hz. The TL-SM3X1-HDV supports two operating modes: auto-switch mode and manual switch mode. When in auto-switch mode, the unit will automatically switch to a signal input as soon as a new source is connected. When the active source is removed, the unit will select the first source on the lowest numbered input. In manual switch mode, the TL-SM3X1-HDV will switch between connected inputs when a control command is sent to the unit via IR or through a command sent by compatible table inserts, or by using buttons on the front panel of the unit. In addition to controlling the switching of the source inputs, the TL-SM3X1-HDV also controls a display connected via an HDMI cable via CEC commands. This allows for automatic power on/off commands to be transmitted from the unit (as well as connected table inserts) to the display, thereby providing a complete room connectivity and control solution. 1.2 Features l Two HDMI inputs, one VGA input & one HDMI output l HDMI video resolution up to 4K@30Hz 4:4:4 l VGA video resolution up to 1920x1200@60Hz l HDMI 1.4 & HDCP 1.4 compliant l MHL support on HDMI input channel 1 l IR remote control & front panel control l Integration with TechLogix table inserts for signal pass-through & remote control l Micro USB firmware port l EDID pass-through...
