Product ID: VS123HD
The VS123HD 3-port HDMI® Auto Switch features three prioritized HDMI input ports. If the active HDMI source is turned off, disconnected, or otherwise lost, the switch automatically selects the next available HDMI signal as the priority output, ensuring the display is always receiving a signal.
The automatic switch includes an IR Remote Control, so you’ll be able to share an HD projector or display between three HDMI audio/video sources, with the option to manually control the switch from a distance or through the easy-to-use front panel toggle button.
Ideal for High-Definition applications, this 3-in/1-out HDMI switch supports true High-Definition 1080p resolutions (WUXGA/1920x1200 from PC/computer) as well as 7.1 Surround Sound audio, ensuring the best possible multimedia experience from connected devices.

Live Chat (opens in new window)When you troubleshoot issues with a video splitter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video switch
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI switch, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video switch, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video switch from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video switch.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, switch, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
This device outputs HDMI video signals. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.
HDCP
When you consider whether to convert an HDMI video signal to another connection type, it is important to know if the media that is being converted from the HDMI video connection is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If the media is protected by HDCP, you cannot convert to analog video connections because they do not support HDCP. You may experience this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles.
