Gefen mini DVI 2x1 Switcher

The Gefen 2x1 mini DVI Switcher enables effortless HDTV source switching using a single high definition display. A simple and reliable solution, the 2x1 DVI Switcher links any two DVI sources with DVI-D outputs to one HDTV display.

The Gefen 2x1 mini DVI Switcher completely eliminates the need to disconnect, then reconnect multiple DVI 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 mini DVI Switcher and powered on, you simply select which source you want to view on the display using the IR remote that comes with it, or any universal remote you have programmed.

High Definition Television Defined

HDTV (high definition television) is a rapidly emerging video standard that transmits large amounts of visual data (resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and 1080P) using DVI (Digital Video Interface) connectors, resulting in crisp, highly defined visuals that resemble movies shot on 35mm film. DVI is the current transmitter of choice for HDTV because it is a purely digital interface that retains the integrity of the video signal through any transmission. With DVI, there is no digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion process that needs to take place before, during or after transmission.

Fully HDCP Compliant

HDCP (high definition content protection) is a standard that is 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, both the source and display devices must be equipped with DVI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 2x1 HDTV Switcher. The HDTV Switcher is HDCP pass-through.

How it Works

Simply connect your DVI display to the Switcher’s display output. Then connect both DVI sources to the Switcher’s inputs using the DVI cables that come with the Switcher. Once the sources, the Switcher and the display are all powered on and connected you simply select which source you want to view.
