Product Information

There are four shielded twisted pairs for sending video and audio data, with seven more conductors used for features like the Display Data Channel, CEC, Audio Return Channel and power. However, it can prove a useful feature when set up correctly and means you need to use fewer remote controls. So, you would convert the connection type from USB to HDMI using the adapter and then use a standard HDMI cable to connect to your display device. Why might you want to do this?

But other than that, the modern Playstations are very fussy about the switchers (and even HDMI cables) they “agree” to work with. I believe this is mainly due to issues with the HDCP copy-protection standard and power issues. The main reason for buying an HDMI switcher is that you no longer have enough ports on your TV. Therefore, it would be annoying to run into the same problem two months after you buy the switcher… Automatic switching: The switcher senses which device is active at the moment (your Fire TV is sending a video signal, for example), so it automatically switches the output on your TV screen to that active device. While it sounds convenient, this automatic switching is far from perfect, and the switcher will often get confused with devices that “snatch” the port even when they’re seemingly idle.

The HDMI connector has a distinctive rectangular shape that fits cables one way. Ports are usually inputs or outputs: The most common reason would be that you want to connect your computer or notebook to an external monitor or HDTV – and you will then be able to send video and audio into an HDMI port on your display device. You might need a new cable for HDMI 2.1, which allows for increased video resolutions of 4K/120p and 8K/60p.

CEC: consumer electronics control allows you to control several devices connected via HDMI with a single remote – such as volume and power commands. In this situation, it is possible to buy DVI to HDMI adapters to change one end of a cable from one connector type to another. Yet the bit rate you see quoted will often be the combined total for all three – to get a higher number to impress you with.

Also, it can sometimes be annoying as a device will switch itself on/off when you don’t want it to. Connecting a gaming console to your TV is one of the main reasons people buy an HDMI Switch. However, while there should be no issues with the original PS4, the older XBOX, and most other gaming consoles – the PS4 PRO, PS5 and XBOX Series X do raise some concerns.
