An HDMI switcher allows switching between two, three, four, five or eight HDMI sources like computers, DVD players and set top boxes and sending that video to a high definition display device such as a HDTV.
This switch is a small box that allows you to connect multiple HDMI devices and then choose which of those signals to send to your TV through the HDMI output.
This is considered a compact audio/video connector which can route both HDMI and audio signals through the HDMI ports of the switch.
Each connection utilizes only one HDMI cable to transmit both audio and video, thereby reducing cost.
These switches enable switching between multiple HDMI inputs while maintaining high quality video resolution.
These switches can be cascaded for larger distribution and can be operated either by pushing the buttons in front of the unit or with the use of an Infra red remote control.
Some HDMI switches are also available with an RS232 Control option.
It is compact in size, consumes less power and users don't have to worry about complex installation procedures as they work on the simple fundamental of plug and play.
This switch is HDCP compliant and supports resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p and form factors with 2 to 8 inputs.
An advantage of using the HDMI switcher is that a user need not disconnect and reconnect multiple HDMI sources.
Instead, connect all your devices to the matrix switch splitter and switch with a simple push of a button on the unit or infra red remote.
These switch units are the perfect solution for home theater systems and are increasingly being used in casinos, classrooms, control rooms, conference rooms, remote monitoring & training facilities.
