HDMI switch V1.3

[Jascha]

Most HD consumers are finding out that there is simply not enough HDMI connections on their brand new TV. Some of the latest ones offer 2 HDMI inputs and the first generation HDTV generally only had 1.

A plethora of HD sources has hit the market. For example, PS3, HD DVD, Blu-Ray, AppleTV, Settop boxes, video cards and recently even video cameras have HDMI to capture in HD for home videos.

Instead of re-connecting you HDMI sources to the HDTV, you can use a
HDMI switch to multiplex the HDMI sources to the HDTV.

Saves wear and tear and endless frustration.

There is a range of HDMI switchers for home use starting from basic 2 by 1 switchers, and to 8 by 1 or even more advanced. So users shouldn't have a problem connecting multiple HDMI sources to their older TVs with only one HDMI input.

As an example of a basic HDMI Switcher there is a 3 by 1 switcher by Atlona - AT-HAD-V31. You can look it up on Atlona's distributor BZB Express website.

The other option would be 4x1 HDMI Switcher with 3D/Audio Return Channel/Ethernet AT-HD4-V41
