KanexPro SW-HD Overview

Highly compact, featuring a quick-access "switch" button and corresponding LED indicators, and supporting up to UltraHD 4K resolution, the KanexPro 3x1 HDMI Switcher is a minimalist, trendy, user-friendly device for the home, office, or retail establishment. Connect cable boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and other HDMI sources to your 4K TV, HDTV, or projector and toggle your sources rapidly using the switch button or the included remote control.

One of the distinguishing features of this switcher is that it has ultra low power consumption and doesn't require an external power supply. It is simply powered off any one of your connected HDMI sources. In rare cases when your HDMI source consumes an unusually high amount of power, you can power the switcher by connecting it to your PC using an included USB to barrel connector cable.

The switcher supports high-quality video and audio, including Deep Color, HD lossless audio formats, and Lip Sync. It is HDCP compliant for compatibility with HDCP protected devices, like most cable boxes, and it features EDID support for compatibility with most displays.

Unfortunately this did not work out for us. We are getting a 1080p 60Hz signal from a PC, but this device will insert green 'static' throughout the image. Not all the time, it seems to be dependent on what is being displayed making it hard to troubleshoot. Eliminating this device from the video feed solves the problem. This happens whether it is powered directly from the 5V or from the HDMI inputs. We have three of these deployed, only one showing issues so far but it's only been a few months.

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)
Asked by: Christopher
I have two monitors and I have to use 2 HDMI Switchers in order to allow 2-3 computers each of which extends the video to two of these monitors. I don't think there is any other way to do this.
