ViewHD HDMI 4 Port 4x1 Premium Powered Switcher with Advanced Home Theater Audio Features (The Newest and Most Versatile HDMI Switch on the Market)
Rate This Product :
From ViewHD, this is the NEWEST v1.3 HDMI switcher (4 input to 1 output) on the market, specifically designed to support home theater with surround receiver.
This new unit has a special feature to provide user the capability to specify the desired audio format (5.1CH or 2CH) by overriding the EDID of the HDMI display unit. Older generation of the HDMI switcher will pass the audio capability of the TV unit (which is typically stereo) to the HDMI source unit, the HDMI A/V source will generate and send stereo sound to the TV over the HDMI cable, therefore, even if the TV provide audio output to the surround receiver, users are limited to stereo sound. By using this unit, the switcher can override the TV's EDID audio code and request the A/V source unit, such as a blu-ray player, to send out 5.1Ch surround sound, and this surround audio signal can be obtained through the SPDIF optical and Digital Coax outputs for surround receiver.
If the TV is only capable of stereo sound, in the 5.1Ch mode, the TV will not have sound because it can't recognize the audio format; user can easily switch back to the 2Ch PCM stereo mode to get sound from TV. The switch for 5.1Ch and 2Ch audio modes is provided on the remote control unit. This unit is indeed the most versatile / flexible HDMI switcher that can save buyer a lot of money to avoid the needs to upgrade to the newer HDMI surround receivers.
Serviced by J&R Galaxies 30 day no restocking fee return policy, and ViewHD one year replacement warranty.
Additional Info:This product is not recommended for PS3 owners, because there is some kind of compatibility issue specifically related to PS3. It works, but may require power reset when PS3 is one of the input sources. (PS3 sometimes can cause switch to freeze when TV is turned off)
