Video switch HDMI LogiLink HD0042

The LogiLink Full HD HDMI switch (model HD0042) enables switching between three HDMI input sources — for example a video camera, DVD/Blu-ray player, game console or streaming box — without reconnecting cables. Switching can be performed with the included remote control, via intelligent automatic detection or by using the button on the unit. The device supports Full HD (1080p/60 Hz), HDCP pass-through, CEC and 3D, and transmits multi-channel audio formats including LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. The switch is housed in a compact ABS enclosure with an integrated IR sensor for remote operation and consumes up to 5 W of power.
