1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing Black Box, Model SW214A, 3 input x 1
output HDMI Video Switch. This device is used to select (and boost)
one of 3 HDMI Video-plus-Audio inputs.
The selection can be made via the front panel or using an included IR
remote control. Since HDMI (and DVI) digital signals have cable
distance limitations, the SW214A provides a front panel button to
boost the output signal to drive long HDMI cables to about 50 feet.
Furthermore, the unit has built in automatic equalizers on the inputs so
that it can handle long input video cables (to 65 feet).
