Gefen HDMI 2x1 switcher (EXT-HDMI-241)

The NEW Gefen ex•tend•it 2x1 HDMI Switcher enables effortless HDMI video and audio source switching using a single high definition display. A simple and reliable solution, the 2x1 HDMI Switcher links any two sources with HDMI outputs, to one HDMI display that accepts HDMI input.

The Gefen ex•tend•it 2x1 HDMI Switcher completely eliminates the need to disconnect then reconnect multiple HDMI 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 IR remote that comes with it, or any universal remote you programme.

This new HDMI switcher is able to resolve IR code conflicts by the use of DIP switches.

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 HDMI or DVI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 2x1 HDMI Switcher. The HDMI Switcher is HDCP pass-through.

How it Works

Simply connect your HDMI display to the Switcher’s display output. Then connect both HDMI sources to the Switcher’s inputs using the HDMI 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.

Compatible with all HDMI equipped, HDCP enabled HDTV devices.
