To switch between different input sources and output channels on the VIVOLINK VLHDMIMAT4X2RS 4x2 HDMI 2.0 Presentation Switcher with Matrix Outputs, you can follow these steps:

**Manual Switching:**

1. Press the "Select" button at the Out A block to select the input source for output A. The corresponding source LED will turn green.

2. Press the "Select" button at the Out B block to select the input source for output B. The corresponding source LED will turn green.

**Auto Switching:**

1. Press and hold the "Select" button for at least 3 seconds at the Out A block to enable auto switching mode for output A. The Auto LED will turn green.

2. Press and hold the "Select" button for at least 3 seconds at the Out B block to enable auto switching mode for output B. The Auto LED will turn green.

**Auto Switching Rules:**

- The switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at input 1 to 4.

- It will automatically select a new input once detecting a new input.

- Upon reboot, it will automatically reconnect the input before powered off.

- If an active source is removed, the switcher will switch to the first available active input starting at HDMI input 1.

**Additional Notes:**

- The detection method can be set to TMDS or 5V using RS232 commands.

- Pressing the "Select" button can switch to the next input source without exiting auto switching mode.

- To exit auto switching mode, press and hold the "Select" button for at least 3 seconds.

By following these steps, you can easily switch between different input sources and output channels manually or enable auto switching mode on the VIVOLINK VLHDMIMAT4X2RS switcher.
