D52 Belkin HDMI 2-to-1 Video Switch +Remote+IR Extender

If you have more than one high-definition audio-video component, such as a game console, cable set-up box or DVD player, chances are you're familiar with the frustrating "bottleneck effect" that's taking place at your high-definition television (HDTV) or receiver. Unless you have the very latest HDTV or high-definition receiver, you probably only have a single input for high-definition components. So each time you want to switch components, you literally have to get up to plug in the new component you want to use.

Thanks to Belkin AV24503 HDMI 2-to-1 Video Switch, help has arrived. From the comfort and convenience of your chair, this switch lets you connect and control up to two HD video components through a single port on your TV or receiver.

High-Definition Switching
With HDMI, or High-Definition Multimedia Interface, fast becoming the standard among video components, HDMI has become one of the most common audio video connections available. XBox 360, Playstation 3, Blue-ray players, gaming computers, and more now require HDMI inputs for optimal user experiences. Unfortunately, most of the older -- and many newer -- HD televisions and receivers have only one HDMI input. Although you could spend $1,000 or more to upgrade your television or receiver to take care of this problem, the PureAV HDMI Interface 2-to-1 Video Switch can take care of it for you at a fraction of the cost.

The PureAV HDMI Interface 2-to-1 Video Switch allows you to connect to and switch among two high-definition, digital-video source devices through only one HDMI, or Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connection on your high-definition television or receiver. (Although there are only HDMI connections on this device, you can use an HDMI Interface-to-DVI cable (sold separately) to connect and switch between DVI components.)

This convenient, compact switch offers an ideal way to provide an all-digital connection between such source devices as HDTVs, DVD players/recorders, HD-DVD and Blu-ray players, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Elite systems, digital cable/satellite set-top boxes, and AV receivers. Simply select from among the devices either by pressing the input-selector button on the switch itself, or by using the included remote control to scroll to or directly select a source.

Maintaining Highest Resolutions and Standards
The PureAV 2-to-1 Video Switch maintains the highest HDMI single-link video resolution available and supports the full range of resolutions to optimize your viewing experience, including 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The switch works with all HDCP-compliant devices, and it connects and switches both HDMI and HDMI Interface-to-DVI cables.

The switch measures 3.15 x 0.78 x 1.74 inches (WxHxD) and weighs less than three ounces. In addition to the remote control, it comes with an IR remote control, and IR receiver extender. The switch is backed by a Belkin Lifetime Warranty.
