I am trying for a smooth transition from one laptop to the other. I am using an A/B Swithbox, but unfortunately the projector is detecting a change up in the signal and flashing the correct projecting, going black, wiggling, and then coming back with the correct projection. I was watching the signal output and it is resetting at zero's and then picking up the signal it should have.

I have tried freezing the screen, switching, waiting a few seconds, and then unfreezing, but the same thing happens.

Any ideas on how to get around this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

Think you will find this a continuing problem. I use kvm switches and have about the same issues that I had when I was using a mechanical switchbox on my monitor. Monitor has to adjust to the difference in sync and signal levels.
There should be some video store with equipment available that can help you. Fading from one source and bringing up another. But the transfer has to happen at dark level. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
