NThe transmitter converts the input signal into a proprietary signal type, which passes through Link 1 to the receiver. The receiver converts the signal back to the required signal type. This allows the input signal to be transcoded to meet the requirements of the output device.

When Auto is selected for the input format, the transmitter will automatically detect the signal type. When follow input type is selected for the output format, the output signal will be in the same format as the original input signal.
