This switch is fully automatic, with no manual controls. It defaults to the last console powered on and there doesn’t appear to be any interference introduced if multiple consoles are powered on. While I always recommend NOT powering on multiple consoles connected to the same switch, if you do, it’ll stay locked to whichever input was detected first. So, said differently, it stays with the current active input, until that’s powered off or unplugged.


The switch also offers simultaneous dual output – This has been verified via a scope when testing and there was no voltage change when adding or removing the second output from either port. That means it appears the circuit is properly buffered and completely safe to use any combination of the outputs at the same time.


As for video performance, the switch is great. The voltage (and brightness) were identical when the console was connected directly to the scope, vs through the switch.
