March 30, 2006

Designed to provide a high quality, cost-effective solution to connect three or four HD sources to one HDTV display, Gefen's 4x1 and 3x1 HDMI Switchers are a useful supplement to any home theater. Small, metallic and lightweight for easy mounting, each Switcher comes equipped with either three or four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. Users simply connect their DVD players, satellite television set-top boxes and gaming systems to the Switcher's inputs and the HDTV to the output. Sources are selected with the unit's IR remote; the switch between sources takes place instantly with no signal flickering or degradation. All HD resolutions are supported up to 1080p with HDCP compliance built into each unit, likely to become an issue as more content is filmed and delivered in HD. The multichannel digital audio carried in the HDMI signal is switched for each source. Users have their choice of selecting silver or black finish; black sometimes being preferred in a rack mounted system. Gefen's HDMI Switchers offer a simple and convenient solution for today's home theater and home automation systems.
