| This high quality device provides electronic switching so that four HDMI sources
can be connected to either one or two display devices. You can easily switch your HDTV
displays between four HDMI sources. It is the perfect solution for connecting
DVD players, satellite receivers, HDTV set top boxes, or any HDMI-enabled
equipment. Gefen's new design handles both HDMI video and HDMI audio, making this switcher an ideal choice for a wide variety of installations. It even has a coaxial digital audio output so that HDMI audio can be sent to an A/V receiver or processor. Notice too that all of the inputs are located on the back of the unit for a cleaner-looking installation. It comes with an IR remote control, and it has discrete
codes so that it can easily be controlled by universal remote controls/macros. The unit also has an "EXT-IR" port - if you would like to be able to locate the switcher so that it is not visible, please click
here to check out the Gefen IR Extender.
The switcher works equally well with HDMI or DVI video, so any mix of HDMI and DVI equipment is possible. The package includes HDMI/HDMI cables, but we also have HDMI/DVI conversion cables available at no additional cost - just specify your choice when you check out. If you do not specify, we will ship
all cables with HDMI/HDMI terminations.
Gefen's description

Access up to Four Sources From One or Two Displays
4 Sources + 2 Displays = Greater Integration Options
Gefen’s 4x2 HDMI Switcher routes high definition video in multiple resolutions up to 1080p plus multichannel digital audio from any of four sources. four inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to four high definition video sources,
such as satellite systems and HD DVD players. Two outputs send the high definition audio/video signals up to two high definition displays. A digital audio output port is available if you need to direct the audio to an audio receiver. Switching is done via the IR remote that is provided with the unit.
This HDMI product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals.
Fully HDCP Compliant
HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) is a standard encoded into the video signal to prevent it from being pirated. If a source device is HDCP coded and is connected to a display or projector without the proper decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to “snow” or in some cases, very
low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see high resolution digital video with HDCP compliance, both the source, the display and anything in between must be equipped with HDMI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 4x2 HDMI Switcher.
How it Works
You simply connect all your sources to the Switcher’s inputs. Then connect up to two displays on the output ports. Once the sources, the Switcher and the display(s) are powered and connected, you simply select which source you want to view using the IR remote.
