Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this have the ability to auto-switch, meaning if a device is inactive or unplugged will it automatically switch to an active/plugged in device?

A: no this device will not auto switch, you must pick the input you want to display manually

Q: 2. This Switch support 3D?

A: If the 3D signal is in one HDMI connection, we do not see why not. If you have one 3D signal but in multiple connections, we would say no.

Q: 3. Any issues using it to connect BD player, Nintendo switch to a 8 year old plasma TV?

A: There should not be any issues, just as long as the TV has HDMI inputs.

Q: 4. Apple - Has anyone confirmed this works to switch between a dell & a mac?

A: While we have not specifically tested using this device with both an Apple and Dell Computer, it should work with any product that outputs HDMI.

Q: 5. Will it send audio through the HDMI out and through the TOSLINK/3.5mm outputs at the same time?

A: Yes, you will be able to send audio through the HDMi outputs and separate 3.5mm & Toslink audio outputs.

Q: 6. If this is used to switch between two monitors - one set to "duplicate" and one to "extend" the display - will those settings be retained for each? (currently using a splitter that makes all inputs appear the same to the PC, doesn't retain individual monitor settings)

A: This product will only work with the signal it is given. If you have the output from your computer set up to be a duplicate of the desktop, it should see that. If it is set up to extend the desktop it should see that. Those settings should be on the computer itself.

Q: 7. I want to use this to switch 2 different PC's into 1 monitor. One PC has HDMI out. The other has Display port to HDMI cable, which I now plug into my monitor, and works. will I have any problems when I plug this DP to HDMI into this switch?

A: Because the PC signal through your cable does power your monitor, it should flow through the ports of the 3X1 switch to your monitor in the same fashion. A Switch has one output with multiple inputs and typically does not need external power. Conversely, a Splitter has multiple outputs and typically does require external power.

Q: 8. Will it support an SACD player output?

A: Yes I think it will support SACD

Q: 9. Anyone using this with 1st generation Chromecast? I've owned this product for a year, and it has worked perfectly with my blu ray player, cable tv, and laptop. Today I tried to connect my first generation chromecast, but it's not working. The Chromecast works when I connect it directly to the tv, but it doesn't work when I connect it to the switch. Any suggestions? Thanks.

A: Well, the input port does not provide power for the USB and Full Comunication via HDMI to the TV. Hope this is a start point to figure out a way to make it work.

Q: 10. Is there a delay between switching inputs? I want to use this as a video switcher for a livestream and a lot have a black screen for a few seconds while switching sources.

A: Yes, there is a delay consisting of a few seconds when switching between sources. Additionally, you must scroll through the sources (you can not jump from source 1 to source 4 in a one-click/button fashion. I use this device in front of a professional HDMI switcher (Roland V1-HD) if more than 4 cameras are required and a delay can be allowed between transitions of cameras behind the 5in1 (while the transition delay is occurring another camera from the remaining three HDMI ports is on.)- Jack
