What if it physically unplugged the HDMI connection, and reconnected it to the other device? It wouldn't be quite as seamless since the initialization process would be repeated, but it would work.
- blauditore 9y agoNot even physically, but just redirecting the raw signal to another device should work. Maybe artificially break it for a second or so to better simulate plugging out and back in. I can't see how the actual endpoints could tell a difference between that and manually un- and re-plugging into a different device.
- beojan 9y agoThat's what I meant. Electrically, it's identically to unplugging from one device and plugging into the other.
- ztjio 9y agoThis is doable but unappealing as the OS will see the display is gone, and relayout the desktop environment every time you switch. Depending on your OS, and your personal concerns about all your environment behaviors, you might not care. I know I would be very annoyed by this.
