For many home theater enthusiasts they usually have an AV receiver with mulitple speaker system. They want HD video and digital audio throughout their home. With HDMI comes one bad affect. Since both audio and digital signal comes through the same cable it hard to seperate the digital audio signal to an AV receiver unless your AV receiver has HDMI inputs.

Fortunately, we develop this new product not only to meet the ideal image of the HDTV but also to meet the need of the enthusiasts requirement for digital audio seperation. Because it separates the audio signal from the HDMI interface, then transmit to the amplifier by SPDIF or COAX(RCA).

The 2x1 HDMI Switcher routes high definition video (in multiple resolutions up to 1080p) and digital audio from any one of the 2 sources to display unit.  2 inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to 2 high definition video sources, such as satellite systems and HD DVD players.  The output sends the high definition audio/video signals to a high definition display.
