DVI Inputs (1 Viewer)

How do you connect multiple DVI components to a TV that only has one DVI input? Are there DVI swiching boxes? If so, will any transmission be compromised?

 

[Eddie Horton]

I have heard that a company called Geffen makes a good switcher, but I don't have any experience in using them.

DVI is a digital signal, so you shouldn't have to worry to much about compromizing it.

I'm using one of the Gefen boxes. It's a good product, but the remote codes overlap with some other products. They're still sorting that out.

Be careful when you select a DVI switcher. Some are definitely sub-par. This DEFINITELY matters.

Make sure the DVI switcher can pass HDCP.
Two companies that do this with switchers:
DTronics DVI 2x1 Switcher (model RS-232)
Lindy DVI-2 Switcher

The Lindy being the best value. These switcher boxes
are not cheap From $ 175.00 to 250.00

DVIGEAR.com is also a good place to check out
this type of equipment.
