VGA Auto-Switching Presentation Switcher
VGA Auto-Switching Presentation Switcher
The PS112 Presenta on Switcher is an electronic device that allows up to 3 HDMI and 1 VGA
“source” devices, such as a laptop computer and Sony® BluRay™ player, to share user-supplied
content on a single HDMI display, such as a high resolu on LCD display panel or a LED projector
(e.g. “output”). In addi on to simple HDMI source device selec on, the selected source device’s
audio is extracted and output on two (2) RCA connectors (le /right) designed for local sound
amplifi ca on. Finally, the system auto-switches to a new source when it is connected or pow-
ered on.

Selecting a New Source Device to Display
Selecting a New Source Device to Display
To display a new source, press the Source Selector bu on on the Front of the PS112 repeatedly
un l the LED on the Ac ve Source Indicator corresponds to the desired Source Port Selec on.
That image should now be visible on the Display Output and can be heard on the Stereo Audio
Output connectors.
Note: Selec ng an input for a source that is not physcially connected will cause the output
display to indicate that the signal has been lost or disconnected.

Most source devices send an electronic inquiry to the display asking
for informa on about it’s capabili es. The display sends a table of
informa on called the Extended Display Iden fi ca on Data (EDID).
Using this informa on, the source device changes it’s resolu on to
match the na ve resolu on of the display or some other resolu on
that is supported by both source and display.
The PS112 intercepts the display’s response to the EDID table request
and sends its own EDID informa on to “trick” the source into sending
it’s content in a par cular resolu on and/or audio format. This method allows us to change the
resolu on of the source device without reprocessing the video image and degrading the quality
of the na ve image.

many devices will not send audio to the switcher and display.
