Show Product Video if no Input is available

Hi Guys,
I'm searching for a solution for a trade fair. A Product Video will play from an SD Card but a sales employee needs the opportunity to show a presentation when it's needed. Is there a possibility to override the SD Playback with the HDMI and switch back to SD Card content automatically?

Thank your for your help

    Hi Robin,

    It may make sense to get an HDMI switcher.  Then, you can have your two inputs going to the single output and when you need to switch devices, just use the input button switch or the remote.  We use this one with good results:

    There is an HDMI state plugin that can be added to your Presentation that detects whether something is connected to external HDMI input of an XT1143/XT1144.  And depending on whether the plugin detects an external connection, can switch from internal video to the external HDMI.  I believe someone at my company wrote it and I know we have used it.  But of course I can't help you with implementation.  Link is below.
