HDMI Switch 5 in 1 Out 4K 30Hz (HDR 10, High Speed 18Gbps, IR Remote, HDCP2.2, Dolby Vision, VRR) - 501BN Switcher Compatible with Roku, PS5, Xbox, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, Cable Box

When purchasing this switch I was looking for a cheaper alternative for my workplace to an IOGear KVM HDMI switch, which is good and reliable, but costs around $200. I figured that I could do very well with two cheaper devices: one switching USB ports between my two computers (at least 3 ports to accommodate the keyboard, the mouse, and the webcam), and the other one switching the Hi-Def monitor. BOTH devices together cost less than $80 and provide more flexibility, even though one has to press two buttons, not one. Regular, affordable KVM switches are still using the traditional, analog Video output that simply can't support high resolutions reliably. As far as most laptop and desktops currently on the market do support both high resolutions and a certain format of digital video output (DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort), I am really wondering whether all these KVM manufacturers are still stuck in the 20th century... I have been using HDMI switches for quite some time, and I must admit that either the standard itself is not 100% solid, or all these devices are too different. Some of them take an incredible amount of time to switch between sources, which is accompanied by multiple screen blackouts etc. Some either do not support or are incompatible with certain cables or adapters. In my case a cheaper, autonomous (no separate AC power) HDMI switch didn't do the job. For some reason it did have a problem with multiple adapters on both ends of the HDMI cable. My monitor only supports DVI, and one of my laptops has a DisplayPort output. So the whole configuration is relatively sophisticated: One cable has a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter attached to it, and the cable going to the monitor is terminated with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. I must emphasize that all 3 standards are completely compatible in terms of the digital video signal (no audio with DVI), and do not require AC-powered adapters or signal conversion; They only need passive adapters that simply connect the pins properly, nothing more, so they should not affect the result by any means. This particular switch is affordable, works well, and does support all my cabling/adapter combos. Auto-sensing feature also helps, because when I am bringing a laptop and connecting it, the switch automatically chooses the new device. This saves you a button-press. Also, given the available infrared remote, one can use it in an A/V rack and control it remotely using any good, programmable universal remote, like the one from Logitech. I haven't noticed any blinking, blackouts or signal deterioration with either my Hi-Def monitor (DVI) or with a TV (HDMI), using digital outputs from either computers (HDMI/DisplayPort) or a Bluray player. Switching time is also reasonable in all cases. The device is compact (important for desktop configurations when you are switching a monitor between computers) and easy to use. I have also got the impression that as far as the switch is using independent AC power, it gets less sensitive to cable length/type or additional passive adapters connected to these cables. Looks like the signal is simply getting too weak when one is using a passive switch and additional adapters are connected, so I would generally recommend powered switches. I can't provide any comments related to the switch's reliability or longevity so far... P.S. Some people have mentioned that the switch doesn't work well with all cables. In my experience (3 HDMI switches used for 3+ years, multiple input devices, mostly computers, plus various adapters) any HDMI cable of decent quality works as far as it complies with the 1.3 or later HDMI specification and is solid enough. Extra dollars paid for a "high-end" HDMI cable is money wasted, and I can double this as a physicist and engineer with 25+ years of experience with digital signals and devices. BUT one shouldn't purchase obscure, super-cheap Chinese cables. YES, the signal is digital, BUT it still needs to be strong and clear: In many cases there are too many distortions/too much signal weakening/reflections caused by poor-quality contact pins, poor conductor (wire) quality or substandard, "hand-made" soldering. As far as one stays with brand names (from Amazon to Monoprice) costing not more than $15 for a 4-6 feet HDMI cable compliant with HDMI 1.3 or higher, one should do fine.

NOTE: This product is currently unavailable as of the time I'm writing this review. This is odd because I literally just bought and received this on Friday 8/21/2015 and it showed no signs of running out of stock anytime soon. Now, I'm writing this review the very next day (8/22/2015) and it is currently unavailable. Weird...anyways onto the review. ~Added two pictures: One of the device itself, another of the device next to my gamecube controller so you can see how small the Kinivo actually is~ This product does exactly what I wanted to do, and at a great $39.99 price as of the time I paid for it. There are a total of 5 HDMI input ports that you can hook into it, + one HDMI output port that you would most likely be connecting to your HDTV. Personally, I'm only using 4 of the 5 as of now because I only have 4 devices that need HDMI: my Wii U, PS3, PS4, and AT&T U-Verse TV box. All of them work great with no glitches, quirkiness, reduced quality, or any of that. Each of the 5 inputs are labeled 'Input 1', 'Input 2', 'Input 3', and so on up to 5. There's a button on the device itself called "Switch" that you can press to sequentially switch through all of your available connected devices. However, this product also comes with a very cool and small remote that lets you control the switches from it via Infrared signals. The remote has up/down arrow buttons that respectively increment and decrement the current HDMI input device you're on. However, it gets a little bit better as there are also 5 other buttons on the remote (numbered 1-5) which map to your 5 HDMI input devices. This lets you freely control which HDMI device you want to display without having to use the linear up/down arrows or the 'Switch' button itself on the device. There's also 1 more button on the remote called "Memory". When you press the Memory button, Kinivo remembers the current HDMI device that is being displayed, such that whenever you turn your HDTV on, Kinivo will automatically switch to the remembered HDMI device. I haven't tried this feature yet so I can't comment on how good it works but it sounds promising. Last thing I want to touch on is what I mentioned in my review title. This device has two interesting auto-switch features that can be either handy or annoying depending on the context of your usage. Firstly, when you turn on a device that is connected to your Kinivo, Kinivo will recognize this and automatically switch the currently displayed HDMI device to the new one that was just turned on. i.e. You're currently watching TV, and you turn on your game system that's connected to your Kinivo. Kinivo will automatically switch to displaying the game system. As I said above, depending on the context of your usage, this feature can either be very useful or very annoying because maybe you didn't want to play your game system at that point in time. Maybe you were just turning it on now in order to play it later. Secondly, if you turn off the device that is currently being displayed on your HDTV, Kinivo will recognize this and automatically switch to the next available sequential HDMI input. Using the above example, let's say your TV box was Input 2, and your game system was Input 3. If you're currently watching TV, and you decide to turn your TV box off, Kinivo will automatically switch to the next available sequential HDMI input, which in this case would be Input 3, the game system. Again, it largely depends on the context of your usage, but this can also be either very useful or annoying. All in all, I'm still giving this 5 stars because the auto-switch features aren't that big of a deal. Even if Kinivo auto switches to an HDMI device that you do not want displayed, you can always just whip out your remote and change it back. All of which takes a few seconds.

Reliable HDMI Switcher for Multiple Devices I’ve been using the Kinivo 301BN HDMI switch with my TV setup, and it has made life easier when juggling multiple devices. Between a Roku, Xbox, and cable box, I used to constantly swap cables. This switch eliminates that hassle—just plug in up to three HDMI sources, and it outputs cleanly to the TV. Setup was straightforward: HDMI in from each device, one HDMI out to the TV, and it worked instantly. The picture quality holds up well at 4K resolution, and I haven’t noticed any signal drop or lag. The included remote is handy for switching inputs from the couch, though there’s also an auto-switching feature that detects when a device powers on. That worked most of the time, but occasionally it would stay on the last input until I manually changed it. One thing to keep in mind is that while it supports 4K, it’s limited to 30Hz. If you’re gaming on a PS5 or Xbox and expect 4K at 60Hz, this isn’t the right fit. For streaming and casual viewing though, it performs well. The compact size also means it tucks neatly behind the TV without adding clutter. Bottom line: A reliable, easy-to-use HDMI switch for everyday setups with multiple devices, as long as you don’t need 4K at 60Hz.

The Kinivo HDMI switch is an awesome product! I recently bought a couple of items that required a HDMI input for optimal use. I have never heard of any type of switch before so I started to research them. I first looked on Amazon and this one seemed like the best "bang for the buck". After looking on Amazon, I went to my local Best Buy store to see what they had. An employee told me that they only had 1 item and it was over 100 dollars!!! I thought this was outrageous for a fairly simple product. So needless to say I walked out of Best Buy and got right back on Amazon. This Kinivo switch is as good if not better than the switch that Best Buy offered. It seems well built and does the job without any flaws. The only decision I had to make was to buy the 3 port or spend an extra 7 bucks and buy the 5 port. Since my TV only has 3 HDMI ports I thought this one would be sufficient. I kinda regret not spending the extra money just incase I get more electronics that need HDMI. However, after setting it up I think I might be able to use 5 HDMI ports after all. First off set up was a breeze! I took it out of the box and within 5 minutes it was ready to go. 1st Step: Take a HDMI cord and put one end in your TV and take the other and plug it into the OUTPUT port on the Kinivo. 2nd Step: Take another HDMI cord and put one end into your game console and the other into the INPUT 1 port on the Kinivo. 3rd Step: Take a HDMI cord and put one end into your DVD/Blueray player and the other into the INPUT 2 port and so on. (You don't necessarily have to use this order when plugging your appliance into the INPUT ports. That is the the directions say) 4th Step: Plug the Kinivo into an A/C outlet and you're ready to go! In the description it says that it can be used by the supplied remote or it will automatically detect which input your TV is on and it will switch to it. However, I had a different experience. I followed the directions so I had my XBOX in INPUT 1 and my Roku player in INPUT 2 on the Kinivo. On my TV I had the Kinivo connected to HDMI #1. So my TV doesn't detect that there is anything in HDMI 2 or 3. This is the reason I believe I could connect 2 more HDMI appliances directly to the TV itself ontop of the 3 on the Kinivo. When I turn on my TV and go to HDMI 1 it will go to either the XBOX or the Roku. If both devices are on the XBOX will override the Roku because it is hooked up to INPUT 1 on the Kinivo. To use the Roku all I have to do is turn of the XBOX and the Roku will automatically pop up on my TV. I don't have anything in the INPUT 3 port on the Kinivo but I assume that it would be the 3rd default in this process. PROS: Well built Affordable Works as advertised Set up was a BREEZE Allows me to use a total of 5 HDMI electronics (3 on the Kinivo and 2 on my TV alone) Lightweight and small Looks GREAT with all your other electronics! CONS: Kinda confused on the Kinivo automatically detecting the input Remote is VERY small and could easily get lost

Let me start with the simple review, and then I'll go into more specific detail about my set-up. This unit works perfectly, and that's apparently not an easy task for an HDMI switch. Being as HDMI connections require electronic "handshakes" to work, and adding a switch between the source device and the target device really complicates the handshaking, a quick handshake turnaround is required. Instead of a Blu-Ray player shaking hands directly with a home theater receiver, this switch adds another set of handshakes in-between them. I'll get back to that, but this switch accomplishes the handshaking with no apparent problems between all of my devices. Prior to this switch, I have three others that couldn't "hold" their handshakes. Back at the simple level, some of my other switches had "aircraft landing light" bright LED indicator lights that had to be taped over. This unit's lights are a bit brighter than needed, but not blinding like the other switches I tried. It gets a plus for the more discrete LED indicator lights. This switch also gets a plus for the "auto switching" function. Some of my other switches don't handle that well. Many of you will never have to use the remote control, but I do, since some of my devices are "always on". I don't like the side ports. Input 5, HDMI Output, and power on the sides are a bit of a problem. I much prefer all of the connections to be in the rear, which makes for a wider case, but so what? If you have five HDMI devices to plug into this, you have a component rack. Making this device one or two inches more narrow - why? You'll still have HDMI cables sticking out the sides, and they will take up more lateral space than an extra two or three inches of switch box width. I also don't like the tiny remote control, but other switches are also going this way. I prefer enough room on the switches to add legible labels to the remote control. The tinier the remotes get, the tougher it is to label what each button controls. "BD", "Xbox", "Roku", "SPS" - with today's devices, many are now 'ON' full time, and we really need room to label what devices buttons number one through five represent. So I'll finish the simple review with the statement that this switch is the first of the four I have to work 100% of the time. My other three cannot hold the handshaking connection, and the video, audio, or both, randomly drop out. Now, for a bit of unassociated reasons why I needed THIS switch. This may help some of you get the basics of what's happening to your sound. In 2007, I spent $1,800 for a powerful Home Theater receiver. It had all of the bells and whistles of the day, and was powerful enough to handle my large, quite power hungry, 7.2 surround , $5,000 speaker system. I "cut the (cable) cord", and went all streaming and OTA (antenna) for my TV back then. For my streaming, I was using Roku for everything. A few years back, my primary streaming source, Netflix, killed my surround sound on the Roku. Netflix decided to only use UNCOMPRESSED surround sound in the Roku. Amazon Prime still uses compressed surround sound in the Roku, so I pretty much quit watching any surround sound content on Netflix, and hoped to find those shows on Amazon Prime. It was time to check out my other streaming devices, and nowadays, almost all devices are streaming devices. I found that almost all of the other streaming devices provide Netflix with compressed surround sound, so I needed my HDMI switch to be working to watch surround sound content from Netflix. This may be why you are looking at this switch - it was for me. "Compressed" surround sound? Here's a thumbnail of my situation. In 2007, virtually no Home Theater receivers supported uncompressed surround sound. Surround sound is essentially provided by just two companies - Dolby and DTS. Initially, they both provided surround sound in a compressed format, and that was carried on optical (TOSLINK) cables, coax digital cables, and HDMI cables. They had names like Dolby Digital and DTS NEO. In 2008, high end receivers began to support uncompressed surround sound. The uncompressed surround sound codecs (formats) carried too much audio information to be handled by either optical or coax digital cables. Only the latest HDMI cables could handle the bandwidth needed for the new uncompressed audio. Those codecs began with names like Dolby Digital Plus and DTS Master Audio. As Dolby and DTS continue to develop more advanced codecs, the names keep changing, but I doubt that less than .0002% of us can tell the difference. The old, compressed, Dolby Digital is enough sonic surround to blow any of us away when played through good equipment. Low or medium end equipment? You'll never be able to hear any improvement from the later codecs. Plain old compressed Dolby Digital has way more fidelity and dynamic range than you'll ever be able to appreciate. Well, as far as this HDMI switch is concerned, after a full week of testing, it has the moxie to flawlessly maintain the HDMI handshaking, and I'm so pleased that my other streaming devices, such as XBox and a mid-level Sony Blu-Ray player still stream Netflix with the compressed Dolby Digital surround sound. Good timing for me, since Netflix quit working on my Roku III about two weeks ago. I'm retired now, and can't imagine ever paying another $2,000+ to upgrade my perfectly wonderful Yamaha home theater receiver to a later equivalent model that supports the uncompressed surround sound codecs - especially since they change so often. I'm just hoping that Netflix decides to offer the uncompressed surround audio on the Roku, and that they don't decide to "upgrade" all of the other streaming devices to uncompressed audio.

I don't often leave reviews because I want to be as thorough as possible and that usually takes time; however, I made a point to write a review for this product specifically because of my experience with the manufacturer. I ordered this product because I was making some changes to my entertainment system and needed an HDMI switch that would allow me to plug in 4+ devices and run them all to one HDMI port. My current setup is as follows: the Kinivo switch has 4 devices plugged in--a Gen4 Apple TV, a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, and a FireStick. The HDMI out from the switch plugs into my Samsung soundbar which then runs to my Samsung TV. The best thing about this setup is that I can have the soundbar stay on 1 input--the HDMI input as opposed to the D IN or other inputs--and not have to worry about changing inputs for different devices. What really makes this setup nice is that I can use my Siri remote (the one that comes with a gen4 Apple TV) to control everything I need. This is all thanks to the HDMI CEC feature which Samsung calls Anynet+. How this relates to the device you ask? Well, I'll explain. Many of the reviews and questions mentioned problems people were having with the device's automatic input switching and the Apple TV. This device senses when a connected device turns on or off and automatically switches input so you don't have to. The problem is that the Apple TV (and some other devices) don't fully power down but rather go into a sleep state. There is potential for this to cause problems with the automatic switching the Kinivo switch performs. It has worked flawlessly for me and has played well with Anynet+ too!!! The device itself is compact and sleek. Make sure you have a power outlet with some room because the device has a power adapter that is slightly large (it needs to be plugged in for power). The device even comes with a little remote that allows you to manually switch inputs without having to press the button on the actual device. What really sealed the deal and made me give this product a five star rating was the excellent customer service I received from Kinivo. In the chaos of remodeling our house, the box for the device was thrown away before the remote was taken out of it. Unfortunately I realized too late and couldn't recover the remote. I searched Amazon and found they only offered the individual remote for sale for the step down model (Kinivo 301bn). I called Kinivo customer service hoping I'd be able to purchase another directly from them and they offered to send me a replacement at no cost! They verified my order number through Amazon and, less than a week after I called them, I received the replacement remote! It works just fine. I still haven't had to use it but I wanted to have it in case any problems do come up. Thanks for your excellent product and customer service Kinivo!!

Old Review See update below : This is my first HDMI switch so I havent had much experience with them, but I must say that my experience with this one has been a happy one. The input switches work to the best of my knowledge. Four of them are currently being used . The fifth is still empty. I bought this because I recently replaced my HD t.v that had three HDMI ports on it, and the one that I bought was better, but only had two. I am running all devices from one HDMI port on the back of the t.v, and it works great so far. My only problem is that there is no way to turn the switch off . It stays on even when the T.V is off. It would be cool if the switch turned on and off with the T.V to save energy, but it doesn't and there is no power button on the remote that comes with it. Other than that the switch works. The picture looks great, and behaves the same as it would when connected directly to the t.v if not better. I have a roku, amazon fire t.v box, cable box, and blu ray player hooked up to this and they are all doing fine. Just use good HDMI cables, but then you have to use good HDMI cables with everything now a days so you probably already have some laying around. I should also mention that you will need an extra HDMI cable to use for an output to the T.V so if you buy spring for one if you don't have one laying around since one doesn't come with the unit other than all of that I would buy again. UPDATE: I had this switch for almost a month now and it was working fine. Then I noticed that it would get a flicker in the picture. I checked the HDMI cables that I had hooked up to it and they were all fine. I also noticed that certain HDMI cables wouldn't work with it. I bought some new cables and tried to hook them up and they wouldn't work with it. So I said maybe it's the cables. I unhooked the cables from the switch and put them directly into the t.v via the same cables and lo and behold everything worked. No flicker in the picture and no static in the sound at all. So either I got a defective switch or this is just a cheap/crappy brand. Everything interferes with the signal from it to the T.V so you can't hook it up with anything near it like a mini fridge or microwave. I wouldn't hook it up to a heating vent either . I find this to be absolutely ridiculous . It should be stable enough to work anywhere . But this switch isn't im just glad that I found out before the return period ran out, or I messed up my t.v.

I was hesitant to buy my second HDMI switcher as I previously purchased one off of Amazon for around $10 and it was a dud. This is worth the extra money. I gave this one a shot and it works 100% as advertised. Theres no learning curve whatsoever, no more getting up every time I switch from my DVR box to my Apple TV to my computer's digital HDMI hookup to my PS3. I simply hit 1 button on the remote and it scrolls through my outputs. If you're TV is heavy or hard to access from the back and you have multiple devices, this is a must, and the amount of work it will save you makes this beyond a bargain. When I get home and lay down to relax, I can actually do that now. I feel like I'm on the QVC right now lol, i just am saying I'm in love with this box. Comes with a charger & remote with buttons 1-5, as well as an up down input scroller. It has one other button to program which input is used when the box is powered on. The other advantage for me is the direct computer-to-tv hookup, whether its VGI, DVI, thunderbolt or miniDisplay, you can find a hookup to HDMI somewhere. The problem used to be the distance of an average HDMI cable would have your computer sitting in front of the TV with you looking for a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. With this switcher, you get twice the distance opposed to on the floor in front of the TV because the switcher gives me twice the distance with the fact that the single output cable from the switcher gives you another 6 feet. If you still aren't happy, you can find a female-to-female HDMI extender instead of looking for a 14 foot HDMI cable. HDMI Female/Female Extender does the job and is under $3. Blue and red lights on front of the switcher box also indicate which inputs are powered on, and which is active. It says it supports 3D which I haven't tried, but if your an HD buff like me and use multiple devices, laptops, cable boxes, gaming systems, even my iPad/iPhone (there's an adaptor for that too) I can use all of them with the least effort possible with no loss of quality. Five thumbs up. Oh and don't forget a switcher means you'll need an extra HDMI cable.

Assez étonné de certains commentaires que j'ai pu lire, pour moi le switch fonctionne parfaitement! Facile à installer, l'appareil reste assez joli dans l'ensemble, il ne devrait pas gâcher le visu de votre installation. Par contre, les leds sont très lumineuses, prévoyez un petit morceau de scotch Au niveau du fonctionnement rien à redire. Détecte automatiquement les appareils branchés une fois mis sous tension, pas d'interférences entre les appareils. J'ai par exemple tester de laisser trois consoles en même temps, pas de soucis pour switcher de l'une à l'autre sans interférences. Ne reste plus qu'à voir sur le long terme

This review relates to using the Kinivo 501BN purely to share one screen between two pcs like a KVM switch. I needed a way of connecting two pcs, but as I'm on a limited budget I couldn't really warrant spending £74 on this kvm switch with DVI (digital) connectors: StarTech 2 Port USB DVI KVM Switch with Audio and Cables So I did a bit of research and I figured I could get the same results from this Kinivo box and connected my two pcs via three of these DVI to HDMI cables Premium HDMI to DVI Cable Gold 2 Metre - Star-E-Shop Thats one for each pc and one from monitor to Kinivo box; cables work fine for me so far despite being cheap as chips. But if you're a cable snob you might want to spend a bit more on these. The Kinivo box itself looks quite cool, although mine came with silver sides rather than white, and is quite small like USB a hub. The remote is about credit card sized and VERY light. I have no trouble at all switching from each pc and there is only a couple of seconds delay when using the controls. It will automatically swap to the pc you just turn on instantly. In short I think its a great little box at a fantastic price. The second part to my dilema was how to get the keyboard and mouse shared between the two pcs so I've recently ordered this simple little splitter USB 2.0 Manual Switch - Share Peripherals such as: Printer/ Scanner/ Camera/ Webcam/ Skype Phone/ Flash Drive/ External HDD It allows you to share ONE USB device between two pcs, however if you attach a USB hub to it first you can share all the devices plugged into the hub between two pcs. Probably best to get a powered USB hub i.e. one with a power adapter as otherwise things like external hard drives won't get enough power so won't work. PROS of this setup vs KVM switch: 1) CHEAPER - I speant £29.61 total... (£14.99 on Kinivo; £6.63 on cables; £7.99 on USB splitter; and a decent powered USB hub about £15 but I didn't need one) 2) FLEXIBILITY - I still have 3 free ports on the Kinivo and I can always use it for other future setups 3) USB share - I'll be able to share multiple USB devices not just the keyboard and mouse 4) REMOTE CONTROL - is quite useful and it saves wear and tear on the switch button thats on the box itself CONS of this setup vs KVM switch: 1) You have to press two buttons rather than one to switch between pcs. One for the screen (Kinivo) and one for the USB devices. 2) Together with the powered USB hub you'll need two free plug sockets rather than one 3) Slightly more of a complicated setup with three little devices rather than one bigger. 4) No Audio connection (ONLY if going from a PC DVI connector to HDMI. Anyone using this for normal TV setup WILL have audio in the HDMI cable so don't worry) Final note: No I don't work for Kinivo, Bluerigger or a marketing company, just a happy customer.

Works flawlessly, had it for a few months now and never had a problem. Would highly recommend it and for the price it is an amazing value. I would recommend this for anyone that needs 3 HDMI inputs to their TV or for anyone that's lazy like me to flick through the Video Source button on your TV to get to the source you want. Pros: + Easy set up + IR Remote to switch between active devices + Auto switches between devices when you turn one on or off + No degradation of video quality + Does not heat up Cons: - Has a bright blue power light that is always on (another blue light for current input as well); You could just black tape over the light if it is annoying. Does light up a room a night. - No mounting screw holes; Device is lighter than my HDMI cable so it slides to the edge of the stand. Could easily fix by double sided taping it down I currently have one input to my PVR, one to my PS3 and one to my Laptop. There is a precedence for the inputs, so which one you plug in matters. For example, my PS3 has the highest precedence then laptop then PVR. If I have my PS3 on it will not switch to any of the other inputs. I could switch it manually with the switch button on the unit or the remote if I want, but I use my PS3 for Netflix, so I don't want the tv to switch to another input if I accidentally turn on my laptop or my PVR. I use a wireless keyboard/mouse for the laptop and putting it to sleep turns off the video input and it would switch back to TV. The IR for the remote is a plus because I was easily able to program my Logitech universal remote to control the HDMI switch, so I can use one remote to control all my devices.

Un producto imprescindible si no te llegan las entradas HDMI. La calidad de la imagen y del sonido es excelente no he notado ninguna diferencia con las entradas originales. El único problema es si tienes Apple TV el conmutador no se apaga si no detecta actividad y permanece encendido. Viene con adaptador de enchufe para que se pueda utilizar nada más sacar de la caja. Muy simple de conectar y poner en funcionamiento. Memoriza que aparato está conectado en cada entrada. Trae un pequeño mando a distancia para cambiar entre cada HDMI. Es pequeño y discreto. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

So I ordered this because 2 out of 3 HDMI ports on our Sony LCD were broken so a switch was needed. There are tons of el cheapo switches available but I wanted one that lasted and I bought this hoping it will do the trick. Pros - High quality plastics used - Has an IR remote - Memory function which remembers which port to select when it is turned on - button on the device itself to switch ports - No problems with the audio/video signal so far - Apparently it allows HDMI-CEC control for our home theatre even when it is not selected so that's great.! - LED indicators upfront power, output and inputs, the inputs connected but not selected turn red Cons - The only major con as mentioned by other buyers is the big 15 Amp adapter provided so you need a converter to plug it into regular sized sockets. - One might find the LED indicators to be a little too bright but its not a big deal Amazon delivery is great as ever.!
