AMPLIFIED SWITCHER

USER MANUAL

This intelligent DirectConnect® High Speed

HDMI™ Ultra High Performance Amplified

Switcher allows four HDMI™ source

devices to be switched into one HDTV
monitor or projector. It not only has the wireless IR remote function, but also has
an intelligent function. Controls via included wireless IR remote or a newly
adopted high tech touch button design for soft touch switching. This device also
has been upgraded to be intelligent by routing high-definition video (in multiple

resolutions up to 1080P) and digital audio from any one of four sources to a high-

definition display. All four inputs accommodate the simultaneous connections of HD
sources, such as Blu-ray®, satellite, and cable. Quite different than other switchers,
this intelligent DirectConnect® ultra high-performance amplified switcher has one
input port on the front panel. This not only reduces the switcher to an ideal small size
but also is more convenient for users to connect additional source devices.
