I've got one of the HD Connectivity 4x4 HDBasetT HDMI matrix and it's
excel=
lent - just works and no problems at all (unlike the cheaper non-HDBaseT
ki=
t I tried before). Although it's more expensive, I think it's well worth
it=

How many outputs and do you only need HDMI sockets for inputs/outputs or
mi=
ght you need other connections types too (HDBaseT etc)?

I've had good results with Octava distribution equipment (from Joe Fernand

at The Media Factory) and HDConnectivity/HDAnywhere. Just fitted a 4x4
HDBa=
seT POE matrix from HDConnectivity which worked perfectly (as I've come to
=
expect), just does exactly what it's meant to without any issues or dramas.

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 4 input or better HDMI switcher ?

Cheers

Stuart
