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

Thanks to Belkin HDMI 3-to-1 Video Switch, help has arrived. From the comfort and convenience of your chair, this switch lets you connect and control up to three HD video components through a single port on your TV or receiver.
High-Definition Switching
HDMI, or High-Definition Multimedia Interface, is fast becoming the standard among video components, and is 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 hundreds of pounds or more to upgrade your television or receiver to take care of this problem, the Belkin HDMI 3-to-1 Switch can take care of it for you at a fraction of the cost.
The Belkin HDMI 3-to-1 Switch allows you to connect to and switch among three high-definition, digital-video source devices through a single 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 the included HDMI Interface-to-DVI cable to connect and switch between DVI components.)
This convenient, compact switch offers an ideal way to connect digital displays such as HDTVs, plasma displays, DLP TVs, LCD TVs, and projectors. HDMI also provides an all-digital connection between such source devices as HDTVs, DVD players/recorders, digital cable/satellite 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 Belkin HDMI 3-to-1 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.
Product Description
The PureAV HDMI Interface 3-to-1 video switch allows you to connect to and switch among three high-definition, digital-video source devices through only one High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connection on your high-definition television (HDTV). Its quick adoption has made HDMI one of the most common audio video connections available. It is used on high-definition components, such as HDTVs, up-converting DVD players, HD cable/satellite boxes, entertainment computers, and the newly released Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. This has created a bottleneck at the HDTV connection-with a common scenario featuring three HDMI/DVI sources to only one HDMI/DVI input. The PureAV HDMI Interface 3-to-1 video switch lets you connect three sources into one HDMI input on your HDTV. Then, simply select among the source 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. The switch offers an ideal way to connect digital displays such as HDTVs, plasma displays, DLP TVs, LCD TVs, and projectors. HDMI also provides an all-digital connection between such source devices as HDTVs, DVD players/recorders, digital cable/satellite boxes, and AV receivers.
