As far as I know, when you have a SOURCE -> SWITCH
(AKA "repeater") -> DISPLAY type system, the SOURCE
is supposed to HDCP authenticate with the SWITCH
and the SWITCH is supposed to HDCP authenticate
with the DISPLAY. After that, the DISPLAY
communicates
its capabilities with the SOURCE (for instance
sound and video modes), and I believe this
communications
is part of the "control" capabilities of HDMI,
which also support input switching and so forth.
Okay. So what happens when your Gefen switcher sends the HDMI signal to two displays? Will it matter which is plugged into output one?
I also know that Sci Atl boxes have
a setting where you can choose to have it always
power on channel 1 (the default), any specific
channel, or the last channel viewed.
I will definitely look for that. I did not see it when I set up the box (it was a replacement so it was set up over the phone without a tech on hand to answer questions) and I am probably going over there again to deal with this issue. I was going to add a "last station" command after all the switching was done so that it would go to 1, then jump to where it had been, but so much the better if it can be hard-commanded via the menu.
