Descrption:
Norcross, Ga.-Octava Inc. has released a 4x1 HDMI switch with Optical Digital Audio routing for home theater integration with new HDMI video sources/displays and existing Audio Receiver equipment. The unit supports up to 4 HDMI inputs and 4 Optical Digital Audio Inputs.

HDMI will continue to be the de-facto standard in home video transmission for 2 reasons: 1) uncompressed digital format ensures the best picture quality and 2) HDMI allows content providers to ensure that their intellectual property is protected through HDCP.

Many consumers who recently purchased a HD Display and especially those who are installing front -projector systems already have an existing Surround Sound Audio Receiver that need to be converted to one with HDMI switching functions.

For those seeking to integrate with their existing Surround Sound Audio Receivers, the 4x1 HDMI switch with Optical Audiso Routing can be used to accomplish this. This easy to use unit includes 4 HDMI Inputs and also Optical Digital Audio switching for maximum port expansion and integration with existing audio video receivers

It is clear that more equipment such as Cable/Satellite Set Top boxes, DVD players, HD DVD players, Personal video recorders, video game stations, and computer video cards will adopt HDMI/DVI. However, many early-generation HDTV monitors only had 1 or 2 HDMI input leaving the early adopter no way to easily add HDMI enabled sources. Furthermore many Surround Sound Audio Receivers do not include HDMI switching.
