Alleviate HDMI Congestion With HDMI Switch
HDMI is the way all your devices want to connect to your HDTV. Newer HDTV’s might have multiple HDMI ports, but older ones don’t.
Now you decide to hook up a computer via HDMI and find the port already in use by a Sony Playstation 3 or HDV camcorder, what are you gonna do?
The answer may be to alleviate that HDMI congestion with a convenient HDMI switch. IOGear has been around a long time providing solutions in connectivity. Now they offer the GHDMIAS4 which is a 4 port HMDI automatic switch that automatically chooses the active connection. But it also includes a handy remote so that you can choose the input if you want.
The IOGear GHDMIAS4 comes with the 4 port automatic HDMI switch, remote, and a cable to connect to the HDTV. If you want, you can use your existing universal programmable remote instead of the one IOGear includes.
You do need power available for the HDMI switch, but I presume you already have a rats nest of cabling and plugs. Just be sure to plug everything into a quality surge protector or UPS, not just an outlet strip or multi-outlet drop cord.
Searching around I found that you can get the GHDMIAS4 at Buy.com for about $92.00 and even get free shipping.
Check it out.
