Easily Switch Between Two HDTV Devices Using One HDTV Display

2 HDTV Sources + 1 HDTV Display = High Definition Convenience and Ease

The 2x1 HDTV Switcher + Analog Audio enables effortless HDTV and audio switching using a single high definition display and audio receiver. A simple and reliable solution, the 2x1 HDTV Switcher + Analog Audio links any two HDTV and analog audio (DVD players and satellite set tops) sources to one HDTV display. It completely eliminates the need to disconnect then reconnect multiple HDTV sources, saving time by providing a fundamental tool that brings it all together behind the scenes. When all devices (the display, audio receiver and the two sources) are connected to the 2x1 HDTV Switcher + Analog Audio and powered on, you simply select which source you want to view on the display using the IR remote that comes with it and the analog audio follows the video.

High Definition Television Defined
HDTV (high definition television) is a rapidly emerging video standard that transmits large amounts of visual data (resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and 1080P) using DVI (Digital Video Interface) connectors, resulting is crisp, highly defined visuals that resemble movies shot on 35mm film. Since 2000, DVD players, computers, televisions and monitors have been equipped with the 24-pin DVI connection ports. DVI is the current transmitter of choice for HDTV because it is a purely digital interface that retains the integrity of the video signal through any transmission even when sent over long lengths of cable. With DVI, there is no digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion process that needs to take place before, during or after transmission. This streamlined, straightforward process makes DVI the current preferred interface for HDTV.

How It Works

Simply connect both HDTV video and audio sources to the inputs of the switcher using provided cables. Then connect your HDTV display and audio receiver to the Switcher's outputs. Once the sources, the Switcher and the display are all powered on and connected, you simply select which source you want to view.

Note:  The HDTV Switcher is HDCP pass-through.
