For anyone else stumbling across this post, this can be achieved in Windows with the Dell Display Manager. You can create shortcuts to switch inputs if your monitor is supported:

ddm.exe /1:SetActiveInput DVI1

ddm.exe /1:SetActiveInput HDMI1

ddm.exe /1:SetActiveInput DP1

Append an "/exit" if you just want DDM to start, switch inputs, and close. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#4 Wed, 11 Dec 2019 15:58:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#4 DisplayFusion Not yet, sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#3 Wed, 11 Dec 2019 14:29:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#3 DisplayFusion Hi - Any chance this is supported by DisplayFusion now? I'd prefer to use DF over installing another display utility (Dell Display Manager) ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#2 Fri, 27 Mar 2015 19:57:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec#2 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion isn't able to do this at the moment, but I did find a free app that can do it, as long as the monitor supports it. It's the link called "mControl" at the bottom of this page: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec Fri, 27 Mar 2015 01:16:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/script-to-change-monitor-source-from-dvi-to-hdmi/?ID=ef6feaa7-8802-4426-905d-d619eccb1aec DisplayFusion Has anyone written a script to switch the source input of ones monitors?

My Monitors
HP Compaq LA2206x go from DVI to HDCP and back
ViewSonic VA2342-LED go from DVI to VGA and back
Asus VS247H-P go from DVI to HDMI and back

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro and DisplayFusion Pro 7.1 with two AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series graphics cards cross-fired.

The reason for this is to utilize an IOGear peripheral switch to share a mouse/keyboard between two computers. I don't want to get a full KVM switch because a halfway decent one for 3 high resolution monitors costs over $250.

Thanks ]]>
