The GefenTV Switcher

The GefenTV 4x1 Switcher for HDMI with RS232 switches between any of four
Hi-Def sources to one HDTV display. Resolutions up to 1080p Full HD with
multichannel digital audio are supported. 3D content can be displayed when
connecting a 3DTV and 3D source. The front panel LEDs show the currently
selected source. This 4x1 Switcher has an auto-switching feature: If a new
source is connected or turned on, the Switcher will automatically switch to that
input. The 4x1 Switcher will revert to the previous input once the current device is
turned off or disconnected. Any of the four Hi-Def sources can be selected by the
push-button, IR remote control, or using the RS-232 control.

How It Works

Connect up to four HDMI sources to the GefenTV 4x1 Switcher for HDMI with
RS232 using the supplied cables. Connect the HDTV display to the HDMI output.
Connect the 5V power supply to the 4x1 Switcher. Apply power to the source
devices and the display. The Hi-Def source is displayed and will follow the current
switching selection.
