The BATC repeater controller is designed to be a flexible but basic controller and requires to be configured with audio and video switches to become a complete repeater.

This page shows some typical configurations.

This example uses a standard seamless HDMI switcher with 4 inputs, one of which is the HDMI output of the controller RPi, controlled by Infra Red.

Experience has shown that although the switch is advertised as seamless, the switch between sources is not truly seamless. This glitch is enough to cause any encoder following the switch to hang up. This problem is solved by using a 2nd HDMI seamless switch as a buffer between our main switch and the encoder.
