Chapter 4: Operation
The display result will be shown for two seconds.
Auto-switching Function
Auto-switching mode follows these principles:
• New input principle: Once it detects a new input signal, the AVSC-5DA1-HDB will
switch to this new signal automatically.
• Power reboot principle: AVSC-5DA1-HDB remembers the last displayed signal when
rebooting. Once rebooted, the AVSC-5DA1-HDB will automatically enter auto-switch-
ing mode, and then detect all inputs and memorize their connection status for future
rebooting.
If the last displayed signal is still available, the AVSC-5DA1-HDB will output the signal.
If not, there will be no signal on the output devices.
• Signal remove principle: Once you remove the current display signal, AVSC-5DA1-HDB
will detect all input signals with priority from INPUT 1 to INPUT 5. It will transfer the
signal first detected to be available to output devices.
NOTE: The auto-switching function works only when inputting a new signal, removing
a signal, or rebooting power. With any VGA port set to AV or YPbPr, the system
will be not able to enter in Auto-switching mode.
Operation Examples:
• Connect INPUT 2, INPUT 4, and INPUT 5 ports with source devices, select INPUT 4 to
output.
• Press and hold the front-panel key SOURCE/AUTO for 7 seconds or more to enter
auto-switching mode.
• When signals are not removed or new input is entered, the AVSC-5DA1-HDB works in
auto-switching mode (Output from INPUT 4).
• Connect INPUT 3 to a source device, and the scaler will choose INPUT 3 to output.
• Remove the INPUT 3 signal, and AVSC-5DA1-HDB will detect INPUT 1 to INPUT 5.
When it detects that input 2 is available, it will choose INPUT 2 to output.
• Cut off the power to the AVSC-5DA1-HDB, then reboot. Because AVSC-5DA1-HDB is
in auto-switching mode, it will choose INPUT 2 to output.
