The Multiviewer Switcher can display up to four sources. When multiple sources are displayed on the
screen, each source is regarded as a single window, and each window is defined as an input.

before introduction to the operation in multiple windows. In the following example, seven HD sources
(each displayed as a single picture) are connected to Multiviewer Switcher. When the Multiviewer
Switcher is delivered from the factory, the default boot settings are loaded automatically (see
