I believe it should be interchangeable. If you connect the cable from the
computer to the main input for video and then connect the two monitors to
A input and B input it should switch back an forth with no problem.
Someone who is a hardware guru correct me if I'm wrong, but it works that
way with printer switches too. like switching train tracks, doesn't
matter which way the train is going.
