With an increasing number of HDMI products in the Home Theater
market, the requirement for simultaneous access to various HDMI audio
or video sources is becoming progressively important. Now, the VS0801H
8-port HDMI Switch provides an easy and cost-effective way to add HDMI
abilities to your home theater system by enabling you to quickly route
up to eight (8) HDMI A/V sources to one HDMI display. HDMI A/V sources

PC, HD Blu-ray player, gaming console, stand-alone streaming media
player, etc. It supports high video quality such as HDTV resolutions
of 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p (1920x1080); VGA, SXGA, SVGA, UXGA, and
WUXGA (1920x1200). It supports 12-bit Deep Color for HDMI formats. If
you power off one (1) of the HDMI source devices, the VS0801H will
automatically switch to the next powered-on product.
Control the unit via remote control and convenient front panel
pushbuttons allowing the user to quickly switch between HDMI sources,
while the front panel LEDs indicate the source instantly. Also, for
complete system and install integration, use the RS-232 control via
