Configuring HDMI output options
There are two settings to configure audio and video data sent to the HDMI output.
This applies to your Plato device only (this option is not available on tablets/smartphones
running the Plato App).
Before changing these settings, check that your HDMI device is correctly connected to your
Plato unit. See section 2.3.9 for connection details.
There are two HDMI output icons on the top right of
the screen one for video and one for audio:
Before changing these settings, decide how you want to display the Plato screen information,
and where you want the sound output to come from when playing video output.
For HDMI video, you have the option to mirror the Plato touchscreen (including menu
controls) to the connected HDMI device, or to operate in video mode where only the video
data is sent to the connected HDMI device.
For audio you have the option to either route the audio through the Plato power amplifier to
the connected speakers, or route through the HDMI for playback on the connected HDMI
device.
