HDMI 5 Port Switcher with Gold Connectors by Betron
The better way to connect all your home theatre components is with an HDMI cable, especially if you own a HD Television.
The problem that you may quickly be faced with is not enough HDMI inputs. HDMI Ports can be located on Blu-ray DVD Players, DVRs, Apple TVs, cable/digital boxes, gaming consoles and many other digital streaming devices. With this constantly growing list of devices being added to your home theatre, you will quickly run out of HDMI inputs on your HDTV. Older HD televisions may only have two HDMI inputs or just one.
If this is the case, you will be constantly unplugging and re-plugging your HDMI cables to the component you are currently using. The solution to this problem is not buying a new HDTV with multiple HDMI Inputs but instead you invest in HDMI switches. These are small hubs that offer you a way of connecting all your HDMI enabled devices in your home theatre, regardless of how many HDMI inputs you have. The hub can handle inputs from multiple HDMI sources and then transmit the signal you want to your HDTV via one HDMI cable.
Make sure your HDMI Switcher can support the HDMI features of your components. For example, if you have a new 3D Blu-ray Player, you will want to make sure the HDMI Switcher can support High Speed transfers. Details on switches can sometimes be very insufficient. Another key is to look for what HDMI version (1.3,1.3b,1.4) your components have and match it up with the HDMI Switcher. Betron HDMI switch is the latest v1.4 and supports all the features that are needed and also backward compatible.
* Low quality HDMI cables may cause Switch to stop working** Make sure that power is connected to the switch*** Remote control has 4 meters range and it need to be insight with remote receiver **** some device may not support HDMI switch please check their compatibly before purchasing. You can refer to trouble shooting guide on Betron website.
