The Linear 2x2 Switcher for HDMI routes high definition video in multiple resolutions 

up to 1080p plus multichannel digital audio from either one of two sources to the two 

displays. Two outputs gives you the choice of sending high definition audio and video 

signals to two displays simultaneously. A digital audio output port is available if you need 
to direct the audio to an A/V receiver. The 2x2 Switcher for HDMI eliminates the need 
to disconnect and reconnect sources to a display equipped with one input. It works with 
Blu-ray and HD-DVD players, TiVo systems and satellite set top boxes that connect to 
an HDMI display. By using the IR remote, either source is accessible at all times.

How It Works

You simply connect all your sources to the switcher’s HDMI inputs. Then connect up 
to two displays on the switcher’s HDMI outputs. Once the sources, the Switcher and 
the display(s) are powered and connected, you simply select which source you want 
to view using the IR remote.
