Fast Switching Technology

Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI

1.3products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications.

FST provides quicker A/V source switching and greatly improves the overall A/V system behavior and performance when more than one HDTV display is used in the system setup.

FST allows connecting / disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of HDTV displays without having these activities affect other Hi-Def sources routed to any other HDTV display in the same system.

FAST MODE :

Setting the Matrix to FAST mode will improve performance when connecting / disconnecting Hi-Def sources, and powering ON / OFF HDTV displays.

NOTE: When switching from SLOW mode to FAST mode, the HDTV displays connected to the Matrix will blink momentarily.

SLOW MODE :

When set to SLOW mode, the Matrix will follow the standard authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications. SLOW mode is recommended when the source does not support multiple devices.
