FEATURES
Use the HDMI Video Switch to quickly and easily share a single
HDMI display with a Blu-ray™ player, HD-DVD, Xbox™, Wii™, PS3™,
Satellite receiver, etc., from multiple device inputs to one HDMI output
device (monitor, projector, or TV).
You can select the desired input source via the remote control
(audio models only) within the range of 15 feet (5 meters) (depends
on model) or push button located on the switch. You never need to
plug and unplug video sources, making your A/V equipment more
convenient, more affordable, and more efficient.
The built-in serial interface allows you to control the Video Switch
through a PC, serial controller device, or home theater system,
integrating the whole A/V environment (depends on model).
