OVERVIEW Use the HDMI Video Switch to quickly and easily share a single HDMI display with a Blu-rayTM player, HD-DVD, XboxTM, WiiTM, PS3TM, 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).
