In TV MODE the switcher automatically detects and uses the first
HDMI output EDID it scans with first priority on Output 1/A. TV
MODE is the default setting and is typical for most applications.
In STANDARD MODE, the switcher uses internal EDID memory for
selected inputs. STANDARD MODE supports video formats up to
1080p 10 bits and audio coded for PCM2.
