Product Description

Product Description

The 3x1 HDMI mini switcher routes high definition video (in multiple resolutionsup to 1080p) and digital audio from any one of the three sources to display unit. Three inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to three 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. Aside from the manual switching, the switching can also be done via theIR remote that is provided with the unit for added convenience. The compact design eliminates the bulk of an HDMI switcher while still having the same functionality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as advertised, July 20, 2009

By	K. W. Mills - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For about $20, my expectations weren't too high, but this product has done everything the description says it will do. There's three HDMI inputs on the "front" and one output on the "back" (front and back distinctions are at your discretion). Simply hook up your devices and then connect to your upstream television or other video display device. The box takes care of switching back and forth or you can use the included 3-button remote to manually swap.

It all works perfectly. The device does take about 30 seconds to notice that my Xbox 360 has been shut down, but I don't know if that's the fault of the box or if the 360 doesn't close off the HDMI port until the final moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a charm!, April 9, 2009

Very nice unit for a very reasonable price. Does the job as advertised. Small size is handy for those with an aversion to clutter.

The switcher works as stated in the description. However, for those expecting to amplify their HDMI signal via the 5 volt DC input, be aware that an AC adapter is not included with the unit. Also worth noting is that HDMI switchers work in one direction only; if you're looking to switch a single source between multiple outputs, you'll need a different product.
