HDMI Solutions
What do you do when your high definition television set has only one HDMI connection, but you have several HD components that you want to connect? In order to resolve a problem where there are more connections than HDMI ports, you use an HDMI matrix. Well, there is another problem: You’ve run out of space to store all this stuff in your entertainment center. The good news is that using an HDMI matrix solves both problems.
An HDMI matrix acts as a hub for multiple source devices and then relays the audio and video signals to a receiver, typically an HD television. Some HDMI switch devices allow you to switch between the components using a remote control or manually pushing a button on the unit. More advanced HDMI switch devices actually automatically change over to a component when it is powered on or when another is shut down. The basic implementation allows several HD inputs and outputs which can be conveniently selected in any combination.
If you have to extend the distance between the switch box, HD components and the television then choose a more advanced HDMI matrix unit with the ability to transmit high-definition signals over a CAT5/6 cable. This cable is very lightweight and flexible making it an ideal solution for stringing through ceilings or walls.
We offer a complete line of HDMI solutions for high-quality HDMI signal switching and distribution. Our HDMI devices support all of your HDTV's, DVR's, DVD Players, Blue-ray players, video game consoles, computers and many other HDMI compliant devices.
