Configuration

Enabling Auto‑Input Switching
The DTP2 T 212 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. The Auto Switch priority can be
reversed to lowest active input via SIS commands (see
on page 42) or PCS (see

EDID Minder

The DTP2 T 212 uses EDID Minder, which ensures that a source device connected to
the transmitter input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not
physically connected. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio.
EDID can be managed with PCS (see
Two slots are automatically populated by EDID from connected sink devices (one for the
HDMI output and one for the DTP/HDBaseT output).

EDID Memory Retention
The assigned EDID is stored to an EEPROM, which is located at the HDMI input. The stored
EDID is retained until a reset is initiated.
Hot Plug Detect (HPD)
HPD remains high on all inputs while the unit is powered on. The HPD drops low only while
EDID is updated.
Auto Switch
When auto-input switching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel
lights and the front panel input buttons are disabled.
When Auto Switch is disabled, the Auto Switch LED does not light.
