Both can be used at the sametime with some restrictions on output formats.When only one output is used the HDMI video resolution will bedetermined by the source according to the maximum capabilitiesof the display device. This is how all HDMI devices are designedto work and is part of the HDMI ―handshake‖ that all devicesmust do for HDMI to work.If two displays are connected but only one is powered the outputwill behave the same as if only one is connected. If you turn offone and turn on the other display the HDMI signal will see thechange and adjust the output to match the newly turned ondisplay. This is called ―Hot Plug”.If two displays are connected and BOTH are powered the HDMIoutput of the source will automatically be set to the highestpossible resolution that BOTH displays can allow. For example: ifdisplay #2 can only accept 720p, but display #1 can accept1080p, then both outputs will be forced to use 720p.HDMI INPUTS AND HI-RESOLUTION AUDIOThe HDMI inputs can accept and decode high resolution audio bit-streams including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
