Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for identifying which input of a sink device a source device is coupled to. The source devices provide content and are coupled to the sink devices which present at least a portion of the content. The source device provides a predetermined reference signal to the sink device. Selection of a plurality of inputs on the sink device is initiated until an emitted signal from the sink device which is based on the reference signal is detected by a sensor coupled to the source device. Once detected, the selected input may be associated with the source device. The source device may then use the associated input for automatic configuration of the sink device during future presentation of content.
