The Gefen 3x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3
Gefen’s 3x1 HDMI Switcher routes high definition video in multiple resolutions up
to 1080p plus multichannel digital audio from any of three sources. Three inputs
accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to three high definition video
sources, such as satellite systems and Blu-Ray players. The output sends the
high definition audio/video signals to a high definition display. Switching is done
via the IR remote that is provided with the unit.
How It Works
Simply connect all sources to the Switcher’s inputs. Then connect the display on
the output port. Once the sources, the Switcher and the display(s) are powered
and connected, simply select the source to view using the I/R remote.

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts
There are matching pairs of dip switches underneath the Switcher unit and under the
remote battery cover. Switch 1 & 2 on the Remote and Switch 1 & 2 (switches 3 and 4
are not used) on the dip switch bank located underneath the unit. These switches need
to be matched for the remote to communicate with the switcher. Switch 1 on the remote
is linked to switch 1 on the unit, and switch 2 on the remote is linked to switch 2 on the
unit. There are 4 possible sets of IR codes and at least one of these sets should be able
to resolve any IR conflicts with other home theater devices.
