Gefen 4x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3

with discrete IR remote control and four 2-meter cables

The Gefen EXT-HDMI1.3-441 4x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 delivers the performance that many of us have been waiting for.  As the name implies, this HDMI switch is among the first to offer HDMI v1.3 compatibility.  The HDMI 1.3 standard provides for more than twice the bandwidth offered by the 1.1 standard.  That means that 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) of data can be channeled over the same physical cable interface as HDMI 1.1, opening the door for technologies such as resolutions beyond 1080p, "Deep Color", "x.v. Color", automatic audio sync (lip sync), as well as lossless compressed digital audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

The EXT- HDMI1.3-441 comes with an IR remote control, and it has discrete codes so that it can easily be controlled by universal remote controls/macros.  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.

Fortunately, the HDMI 1.3 spec is also fully compatible with previous digital video formats, such as HDMI 1.1 and DVI.  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 can substitute HDMI/DVI conversion cables 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 Display

4 Sources + 1 Display = Greater Integration Options

Gefen's 4x1 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. The output sends the high definition audio/video signals to a high definition display. Switching is done via the IR remote that is provided with the unit.

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 4x1 HDMI Switcher.

How it works
You simply connect all your sources to the Switcher's inputs. Then connect the display on the output port. 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.

Note: This HDMI product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals.
