Connect and Access One of Multiple Sources from the Same Display(s)

6 Sources + 2 Displays = Greater Integration Options

Gefen's 6x2 HDMI™ Switcher is a small metallic unit equipped with six HDMI™I inputs and two
HDMI outputs. Six inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to six high definition
video sources, such as satellite systems and HD DVD players. Two outputs send the high definition
audio/video signals to two high definition displays or one display and one audio receiver. Digital
audio and high definition video for each source is accessed immediately when the unit "switches" to
it. You control the switching by using the IR remote that comes with the unit.

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 display or
projector without the proper decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to "snow" or in some
cases, very low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see high resolution digital video with
HDCP compliance, both the source, the display and anything in between must be equipped with
HDMI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 6x2 HDMI Switcher.

How It Works

You simply connect all your sources to the Switcher's inputs. You have a choice of connecting
either two displays or a display and a receiver to the Switcher's outputs. Once the sources, the
Switcher and the display(s) are powered and connected, you simply select which source you want
to view using the IR remote.

Note: This HDMI product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals.

A connected display that cannot show the same video resolution(s) as the Primary Display
connected to Output #1 may fail to show a picture. Secondary displays follow the Primary by
sharing the resolution and capability information (EDID) obtained from the Primary Display.
