Eliminate Cable Clutter

Iogear's HDMI switch enables you to have a cleaner and simpler home entertainment setup by eliminating cable clutter.

Iogear's HDMI switch connects your HDTV to your source devices with a single HDMI cable; eliminating the cable clutter from connecting each single source device directly to your HDTV.

Instead, simply connect your HDTV using a single HDMI cable to the switch which is placed along with all your source devices such as your DVD player, video game console, AV receiver, media servers etc. All your source devices will then connect into the switch. This setup configuration allows for easy access for future expansion of your home entertainment center. Hence, an ideal solution for wall mounted HDTV environments.

Maintain a Single Universal Remote to control your Home Entertainment Center

Iogear's patented HDAS automatic switching technology will automatically switch to the active device which eliminates the need for a dedicated remote for the switch. It's very simple just turn on the device that you want viewed on your HDTV using a Universal remote or source remote. If you want to switch over to another source device, simply use the Universal remote or source remote to power on the desired device. In addition, since all the source devices will be connected to a single HDMI connection on the HDTV via the switch, it eliminates the need to manually switch among the AV inputs to display the video from the different source devices.

The 4-port HDMI Automatic Switch comes with an optional switch remote. The switch remote enables you to switch among the devices by selecting the desired video port.

A Learning Universal Remote can learn the functions of the switch remote*. This way, at a press of a button, you can switch among devices without powering on and off the devices.

Provide additional HDMI connections to your HDTV HDMI, Ultimate Viewing Experience

Take your HDTV to the next level with HDMI technology, the new connectivity standard in digital consumer electronics, delivering the most vivid and richest viewing experience available today into your living room.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is the latest digital interface that provides HD video and multi-channel audio through a single cable.

Iogear's HDMI Automatic Switch enables you to connect multiple HD source devices to your HDTV for your viewing pleasure.

It is an ideal solution for connecting multiple HD media devices such as

  • Video game consoles

  • Set top boxes from cable and satellite providers

    3 of 5 Auto-switching doesn't seem to work... Sunday, February 24, 2008
    Elliott from Phoenix, AZ  

    I couldn't seem to get the auto-switching to work. I've got this connected to an AppleTV and a Cox cable DVR. Apparently neither shuts off the HDMI output when turning off (but rather blanks to black). Therefore, this device never detects a new signal coming online and so it can't know when to switch. To make things worse, my AppleTV has started crashing recently. This is speculation, but I think it's related to this device. At one point while watching a rented movie, I saw a message about "This content requires HDCP to view". (This box claims HDCP compatibility, and the message did go away after a few moments.) This device rapidly cycles through inputs to find active signals, and I think this detection confuses AppleTV sometimes. The two just don't seem to play nice together. I've returned the product for a cheaper option with just a plain remote.

    4 of 5 Great Product, But One Flaw Saturday, February 23, 2008
    A Customer from Madison, WI  
    The product works fantastic and exactly as advertised. The only flaw this product has is if it is used with a Satellite receiver. I have dish network and when I plug my dish network receiver into the switch and I plug another device into the switch, something very strange happens. It's like it is trying to switch back and forth between both video sources, EVEN if the second device (which is a DVD player) isn't even on. So every second that goes by the screen goes black for about a half a second then comes back to the picture making TV unwatchable. If they resolve this problem with their product, then I would see no reason to buy many of them. Although, if you have two HDMI ports on your TV, your satellite receiver can just plug into the free one and have the switch go into the other one. Overall a great product, definitely recommended.
