Once a new input signal is detected, VEO-SWM45 will switch to this new signal
automatically.
8.2. Power rebooting
Once the unit is switched on, the last signal used before powering it off it will be
automatically selected. The auto-switch mode function will be still active. If the last
used input signal is still available, it will be automatically displayed. If not, the switcher
will detect all the available input signals with priority on HDMI1->HDMI2->HDMI3-
>DP->VGA (YPbPr/CVBS).
7.3. Signal removing
Once the currently selected signal is removed, the switcher will start to detect all input
signals with priority on HDMI1->HDMI2->HDMI3->DP->VGA (YPbPr/CVBS); the first
detected signal will be displayed on the outputs.
Notice: Auto-switching function works only when a new input signal is connected or if
an input signal is removed.
