What is Fast Switching Technology?
Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products.
FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI
and HDCP specifications.
FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the overall audio/
video system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the
system setup.
FST allows connecting / disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of HDTV displays without
having these activities affect other Hi-Def sources routed to any other HDTV display in the
same system.
Using Fast Mode
