cable boxes, to a TV or audio system. The box allows you to switch
different video sources into your TV. Your TV only has to have one
input. By switching the box to the desired video source, you can select
the video device you want to use at the current time while maintaining
connections for all other video devices. No more swapping cables.

Switches can have 2, 3, 4, or 5 HDMI inputs and usually one HDMI output. Connect streaming device, game, Blu-ray and select which one you want to view
on TV. If your TV only has 1 or 2 HDMI inputs, the HDMI switch gives you many more HDMI device connections, so no more swapping cables.
An HDMI splitter is a device that takes one source and sends it to multiple displays simultaneously.
An HDMI matrix is the combination of a switcher and a splitter. It allows the connection of multiple HDMI devices to multiple displays.
With HDMI switches, check video resolution capability and audio format capability. You want a switch which can handle the resolution
for your TV and your sound system. For example if you connect 4K Blu-ray player, you want the switch to be able to handle both
4K video and Dolby TrueHD audio. Also, make sure the switch can handle the HDMI handshake, HDCP compatible with your other gear.
