Switching Inputs:

The FERRISA 4x2 HDMI Matrix Switch offers multiple ways to switch between input sources:

Manual Button Switching: Use the 'Key1' button to cycle through inputs for HDMI OUT 1, and 'Key2' button for HDMI OUT 2.

The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management feature ensures optimal compatibility between the source and display devices. Use the DIP switches on the rear panel to select the desired EDID mode. If the resolution of your output device is inconsistent, you may need to manually adjust the EDID setting on the product.
