How to use

Recommendations

Place the unit close to source devices or the display to minimize HDMI cable length and potential signal degradation. For stable 4K HDR performance, use HDMI cables rated for HDMI 2.0 or higher. If multiple sources are frequently connected or disconnected, choose the switching scheme that best fits your workflow (priority for fixed primary source, last-connected for temporary devices).
