Operating Instructions
The Rocketfish HDMI switch offers both manual and automatic input switching.

- Manual Switching (Front Panel): Press the "SELECT" button on the front panel of the HDMI switch to cycle through the available HDMI input sources (HDMI IN 1, 2, 3, 4). The corresponding LED indicator will light up to show the currently selected input.
