Smart ScanTM
Octava’s HDMI switch with Smart ScanTM saves you the hassle of
fumbling with multiple remote controls. Simply power on the
HDMI source you want to view and the HDMI switch will
automatically switch to the correct port.
Energy Smart: If the HDTV is off or if all HDMI sources are off, the
switch will go into standby mode to conserve power.
