3 Input 3x1 HDMI Cable Auto Mini Switch Switcher 1080p

With an ever-increasing number of HDMI devices being released in the market today, you may find yourself with more HD devices than your display can support directly. If this is the case then a HDMI switch is the perfect solution for you.

The Pro-2 Range 3 input HDMI compact switcher allows you to simply connect 3 HD source devices (such as HD Satellite Receivers, Games Consoles, Blu-ray & DVD Players) to a single HD display or projector and easily switch between them.

The unit is a basic design, small and compact, featuring 24k gold input contacts and a silver finish casing. The unit does not require mains power when using cables under 5 metres in length, however for more reliable signal performance over long cable runs, the unit also features an inbuilt pre-emphasis function that can become active when using the mains power supply (included).

There is the option of switching between connected devices a number of ways; automatically or manually. Auto switching occurs when a signal is detected on one of the ports after a device has powered on. Manual switching is performed using a button positioned on the front of the switch.

Having a central point to manage all your HD devices brings some great potential advantages. Firstly, there is no longer a need to get up off the sofa, tediously disconnecting and reconnecting cables manually at the back of your TV set. Another great advantage of using a switcher unit comes if you are planning to hide long cable lengths under floors or behind walls. The switcher allows you to simply run a single output cable to the TV, but gives you the option of having additional inputs available and ready should you acquire and wish to connect more devices in the future. These new devices can simply be connected to the hub, so there is no need to rip up the floors or walls again to lay additional leads. You may wish to consider a switch with more inputs for effective future-proofing.

Performance wise, the Pro-2 Range of switchers can still hold its own, even when compared with more expensive models, accommodating the high-speed, data intensive bandwidth performance required for the new 1080p 12-bit Deep Colour HD media. Whether connected to PlayStation® 3, Blu-ray player, Satellite HD box or top-spec HDTV, you can expect a perfect picture performance even at this incredibly low price.
