Auto-input switch modes
The DTP2 T 204 switchers provide three auto switch modes, which can be selected via SIS
commands (see
PCS Help File).
•
Mode 0 (disabled mode) — Auto-input switching is disabled.
Mode 1 (user-assigned mode) — The switcher selects the input to which you assign
•
priority (via SIS commands). If no priority is assigned, the switcher selects the active
input with the highest number (default user selection).
Mode 2 (input memory priority mode) — The switcher selects the most recently
•
applied input, and retains a history of the order in which active inputs are connected
to the unit. If an active input is removed, the switcher switches to the most recently
selected input.
Mode 2 timeout — Using SIS commands or PCS, you can set the number of seconds
(0 to 250) the switcher delays before switching to the most recent input.
Enabling and disabling auto-input switching (modes 0 and 1)
By default, auto-input switching is disabled. To toggle auto-input switching between mode 1
(user-assigned mode) and mode 0 (off):
1.
Press and hold input button
2.
While holding button
To enable input memory priority mode (mode 2) use SIS commands (see
Switch
Mode) or PCS (see the DTP2 T 204 PCS Help File).
EDID Minder
Each input has a dedicated store slot to which it is permanently assigned. Each slot
contains a default factory EDID appropriate to its supported video format. Via PCS, EDID
can be imported to these slots, overwriting the defaults. EDID in these slots are stored in
non-volatile memory.
EDID Minder ensures that a source device connected to a DTP2 T 204 input continuously
recognizes the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not physically connected.
EDID can be set to match output rate, a custom user-defined EDID, or a factory setting.
A variety of EDID are available to be loaded via PCS and assigned to the inputs (see the
DTP2 T 204 PCS Help File, provided with the PCS program, to assign EDID).
The following table lists the available EDID store slots. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p
@ 60 Hz with 2-channel (2Ch) audio.

Hot Plug Detect (HPD)
Hot plug detect (HPD) means that power is detected on a connected sink. HPD remains
high on all inputs while the unit is powered on. The HPD drops low only while EDID is being
updated.
