You can now enjoy the benets of HDMI1.3 while connecting multiple sources to one
display. Linear’s HDMI 3x1 switcher routes three high denition video signals with
multichannel digital audio to one display with resolutions up to 1080p. Three inputs
accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to three HDMI 1.3 high denition
video sources, such as satellite systems, game systems, and high denition video
players. The output sends the high denition audio/video signals to a high denition
display. Switching is done via the IR remote that is provided with the unit.
How It Works
Simply connect all your sources to the switcher’s HDMI inputs. Then, connect your
display to the switcher’s HDMI output. Once the sources, the switcher, and the
display are powered and connected, you simply select which source you want to
view using the IR remote or the select button on the front panel.

How to Resolve IR Code Conicts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conict with the supplied
RMT-3IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The
RMT-3IR remote control and the 3X1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 have DIP SWITCHES
for conguring the remote channel that both units use to communicate. These
settings must match each other for proper operation. The 2 DIP SWITCH bank on
the RMT-3IR is located underneath the battery cover. The 4 DIP SWITCH bank for
the 3X1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 is located on the underside of the unit beneath a
black piece of metallic tape. DIP SWITCH 1 and 2 on the RMT-3IR correspond to
*DIP SWITCH 1 and 2 on the 3X1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3.
NOTE: *DIP SWITCHES 3 and 4 are not used on the 3X1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3.
