OPERATING THE 8X8 CROSSPOINT MATRIX FOR HDMI
Fast Switching Technology
Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI
products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process,
based on the HDMI and HDCP specifi cations.
FST provides quicker audio/video source switching and greatly improves the
overall audio/video 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.
