to automatically select the most recently activated or connected 

HDMI source device.

Simply connect a new device or turn on an already connected device 

to automatically switch video sources.

Priority operation

The HDMI switch features priority operation which will prioritize 

ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectfully. When you turn on a higher prioritized
