Page 21: Fast Switching (Fst)
WITCHING ECHNOLOGY Fast Switching Technology Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI 1.3 products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifi cations. FST provides quicker A/V source switching and greatly improves the overall A/V system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the system setup. - Page 22 FAST SWITCHING Changing between Fast Switching and Slow Switching Modes Each HDMI input can be set to use either Fast Switching or Slow Switching. Fast Switching should be used for the best performance. Press the Menu button on the front panel. The switching mode for each input will be displayed under each output.
- Page 23 FAST SWITCHING Once the switching mode has been set, press the Menu button to accept the changes. The front panel shows which inputs are set to Slow Switching and which inputs are set to Fast Switching. Press the Menu button again to return to the routing status screen.
