Matrix splitter/switcher, you can select between two DVI-I sources on

lets you select what input you’d like on each display. Plus, the option to

independently toggle video and audio on/off for each display is also avail-

able.

Press 1 or 2 within 3 seconds to select Source 1 or Source 2. After select-

ing, LED 4 will become either red or orange.

Remote Control Operation

Using the included external sensor, the user has two methods of achiev-
