I don’t know why this isn’t a standard at this point. We’ve all got a ton of systems, inputs, outputs, displays, so we need a switcher, obviously. But we’ve also got a nice place to sit and maybe a romantic interlude happening so maybe we’d rather not get up to switch the switch from one’s Netflox 360 to one’s Al Green CD, or perhaps one’s Vudu porn box, depending on the circumstances. It’d be nice at those times to have this simple little IOGear A/V switcher remote setup with spots for four HDMI outputs.
Unfortunately for me, I’m kind of a last-generation guy, so I’d need spots for component, composite, and DVI, but for those of you with lots of HDMI-compatible devices, this seems like a no-brainer. It costs $90 and should be available now. Kind of expensive but honey, you deserve it. [via Blast]
Aw thanks baby, you know I don’t like to get my fat ass up and press a button thats five feet away. This is why we’re in love, we know each other!
Isn’t this what your AV receiver is for? all devices audio and video plugged into the receiver which is then run to your speakers, primary audio/video input on your TV?
Yeah, but I would think your receiver would be more for switching between cable, whatever HDMI you’ve got going in, and your audio. So yeah for the Al Green it’s probably enough, but if you’ve got more than a couple HDMI sources (upscaling dvd player, ps3, 360…) I personally would want them going through a box like this.
I’ve had a HDMI switch with remote for about a year…
Who’s it from? I would think IOGear would have had one out by now too, but I don’t keep close tabs on AV switches.
