OPERATING MODES
The AdderLink DV104T offers several ways of working in order to suit a range of
applications. Firstly there are two main operating modes:
Single source
and
Dual source
.
•
Single source mode
- In this mode, only one of the HDMI inputs is used at any time
and it is routed to all receivers using a choice of two switching options.
•
Dual source mode
- In this mode, both HDMI inputs are used concurrently and you
can determine exactly how they are shared between the four receivers.
The mode and the manner in which inputs are distributed are controlled from the
Transmitter configuration page
of the AdderLink POD Manager.
Single source mode
Single source mode > Fixed
In this configuration, either of the HDMI inputs are routed to all receivers and remain so
until such time that the configuration is manually altered.
Single source mode > Auto
Auto
is designed to provide redundancy to cover the possibility of input failure. The two
HDMI inputs can be derived from two ports of the same source or from two totally
independent sources. In this configuration, one HDMI input is designated as the primary
which will be fed to all receivers until such time that the transmitter detects a signal
failure. When that happens, all receivers will be automatically switched to the secondary
source until such time that the primary source becomes active again, whereupon, the
receivers will be re-joined to the recovered primary source.
Dual source mode
Dual source mode > Individual
In this configuration, the two HDMI inputs are shared between the four receivers in
whichever combination best suits the installation. The configuration remains static
regardless of the status of the source inputs.

In addition to providing input redundancy,
Auto
mode is useful for situations where you
wish to automatically switch to a new source whenever it is plugged in or becomes
active. This aspect of operation would be particularly useful in situations where sources
are often being changed, e.g. temporary laptop connections to screens or projectors,
without the need to access AdderLink POD Manager.
