INTRODUCTION

The Linear 2x2 Switcher for HDMI routes high denition video in multiple resolutions

up to 1080p plus multichannel digital audio from either one of two sources to the two

displays. Two outputs gives you the choice of sending high denition audio and video

signals to two displays simultaneously. A digital audio output port is available if you need
to direct the audio to an A/V receiver. The 2x2 Switcher for HDMI eliminates the need
to disconnect and reconnect sources to a display equipped with one input. It works with
Blu-ray and HD-DVD players, TiVo systems and satellite set top boxes that connect to
an HDMI display. By using the IR remote, either source is accessible at all times.

How It Works
You simply connect all your sources to the switcher’s HDMI inputs. Then connect up

to two displays on the switcher’s HDMI 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.
