The Extron SW HDMI Series are two and four input, one output, High-definition

video, 3D signals, and embedded multi-channel digital audio, to be switched to one
compatible display. These switchers support all standard single-link HDMI (up to 225 MHz)
and DVI 1.0 signal formats. They are compatible at 60 Hz with all HDTV resolutions up
to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200, with 12-bit color, and are fully compliant
with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

buttons, enabling auto-input switching, entering Simple Instruction Set (SIS
