mini also supports AFV (Audio Follow Video) mode.

Tap AFV to enable the mode. Audio transitions automatically follow video switching for smoother synchronization.

How AFV works:

  • When an HDMI audio channel is set to AFV mode, its audio will only be output when that HDMI channel is switched to the PGM output.
  • All four HDMI channels on mini support independent AFV configuration. For example: If HDMI 1 is set to AFV mode, its embedded audio will automatically become active when HDMI 1 is switched to the PGM output.
