Gefen EXT-HDMI1.3-442 video switch

Switch up to four Hi Def Sources to two Displays -- with an additional S/PDIF digital audio output
4 Sources + 2 Displays + HDMI 1.3 Connectivity = Greater Integration Options

Gefen's 4x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 has four HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs. Up to four HD audio/video sources are connected at one time to the HDMI inputs such as satellite systems and Blu-Ray players. Two mirrored HDMI outputs send HD audio/video signals to two HDTV displays simultaneously. A convenient S/PDIF digital audio out allows connection to an external audio video reciever if desired. Switching is done via the included IR remote.

How It Works

Connect four HD audio/video sources to the 4x2 Switcher for HDMI 1.3's inputs. Connect two displays to the HDMI outputs. An external amplifier or receiver can be connected to the S/PDIF digital audio output on the rear of the switcher if desired. Once the sources the switcher and the displays are powered and connected select which source to view of four using the IR remote.
