Easily Switch Between Two HDTV Devices Using One HDTV Display

2 HDTV Sources + 1 HDTV Display = High Definition Convenience and Ease

Our ex•tend•it 2x1 HDMI Switcher enables effortless HDTV source switching using a single high definition display. A simple and reliable solution,it links any two HDTV sources (such as HD DVD players and satellite set tops) to one HDTV display. It completely eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect multiple HDTV sources, saving time by providing a fundamental tool that brings it all together behind the scenes. When all three devices (the display plus the two sources) are connected to the 2x1 HDMI Switcher and powered on, you simply select which source you want to view on the display using the Switcher, the IR remote that comes with it, or any universal remote you program to work with the Switcher.

Fully HDCP Compliant

HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) is a standard encoded into the video signal to prevent it from being pirated. If a source device is HDCP coded and is connected to a HDTV display or projector without the proper HDCP decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to “snow” or in some cases, very low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see HDTV with HDCP compliance, the source, the display and any device in between must be equipped with HDMI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 2x1 HDMI Switcher.
