Applied firmware packages: (UMX-TPS): v1.5.0b4 | (WP-UMX-TPS): v1.4.0b8 | (FP-UMX-TPS): v1.4.0b8 | LDC software: v2.5.6b2
Automatic Input Selection - Example
The Concept
If there is no other source connected to the transmitter, but the Laptop, VGA input will be automatically
switched to the TPS output. If the Laptop and the PC are also connected to the transmitter, DVI-D input will
be switched to the TPS output. If the Blu-ray player is connected on the HDMI input, and later the MacBook
is connected on the DP input of the transmitter, it will be switched to the TPS output – independently of the
presence of other video signals.
