There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now here is where the bonus feature (and confusion for some) comes into play. So many people read these reviews and wonder, "will it automatically switch or won't it?". The short answer is, it depends. By explaining the whys and how's, hopefully this can shed some light and help you make a better decision. If you don't have that issue and don't want to know, stop here as I do spend a lot of time explaining the priority system.
As stated, it will automatically switch between your devices as you turn them off and give priority to the device that is on DEPENDING ON THE DEVICE PLUGGED INTO IT. If your your device (such as a cable box or a Roku player) has constant power that runs to it even when you turn it off, this switcher will always think that it is on. (Yes, the switcher detects power from most cable boxes through the hdmi cable which is why it always thinks its on even when it is off- when you turn off the cable box, it still needs to power the reception to be tuned in and the clock, so even if the output portion of the box is off, the box itself is always "on"). The only way that it will automatically switch to another device that is plugged in is if you turn on another connected device that does not have constant power to it. It does NOT matter where it is plugged in (slots 1, 2, or 3)!! Priority will always be given to any device that has a DETECTED CHANGE in the power signal from nothing to something. The operative words that I will us is DETECTED CHANGE. Confused still? Let me give you an example. Hopefully it will sense....
Say you have this setup:
Input 1: Cable box (again, this is a device that always has power running through it, hence this switcher always thinks it is "on").
Input 2: A Roku player, (also a device that is always powered on).
Input 3: Xbox 360. This is a device that will not transfer power through the hdmi cable when it is off. The switcher will not think it is always "on".
In this example, the switcher thinks that it has a signal in both inputs 1 and 2 at all times. What will it give priority to and switch to? It will give priority to the lowest number that it thinks is on, in this case input 1, unless there was a power from off to on CHANGE DETECTED in the last action such as:
-if the hdmi cord is plugged into one input 2 (since the roku is always on, a CHANGE was DETECTED from no power to power when it's plugged in. So it will swith to input 2).
-If you manually selected the input by pushing the button on the switcher to input 2
-The XBOX in input 3 is turned on. Here, the switcher does not think it is always on. But as soon as you turn on the xbox, a power CHANGE is DETECTED from off to on, so it will automatically switch to the Xbox in input 3!
So in this example, it will not switch between the 2 devices automatically in inputs 1 and 2 as you turn them on our off because they are both examples of devices that always have power detected through the hdmi cable. Again, there needs to be a CHANGE detected, and because both devices are always "on" to the switcher, there is no CHANGE. Make sense?
So rule of thumb, priority goes to the lowest input device dumber that is powered on but is superseded by a higher input number (like input 2 or 3) if a power on CHANGE was detected. Again, it does not matter which input it is plugged in to! Priority always given to input where the CHANGE is detected from off to on! This is why if you unplugged an Hdmi cable from your cable box or Roku and plugged it in, it will switch to that device because it was the last CHANGE it detected.
So let's say you turn the xbox off in input 3. Then what will the switcher automatically switch to? It will go back to the lowest input number where power is detected. Since it thinks that both inputs 1 and 2 is on, it will default to input 1. So when you turn on the cable in input 1, you will automatically notice that it turns on. However if you turn on/wake up the Roku, nothing will be displayed. Since there is constant power detected in both inputs, no CHANGE was detected so it defaults to the lowest number (input 1 and the cable box).
So as you can see in the above example and that setup, if you follow the rule of thumb, the switcher will only automatically switch to the xbox when it is turned on, then back to the lowest input number cable box when the xbox 360 is turn off.
Let me throw in one final example and you can see the general rule of thumb goes into play: Lets say you manually turn on the Roku using the the button or remote. When you are done with it, it will be impossible to automatically switch back to input 1 (becuase again, no change is detected as both devices are always on). But if you fire up the xbox- change detected and it will automatically switch to xbox.
The above examples gives scenarios where there are two devices that the switcher always thinks is "on". In that scenario, the remote or manual button may have to be used.
Ideally, you will only have one device that the spliiter thinks is always "on". In that situation you should be ok. Since your other devices can trigger a CHANGE that the switcher detects, it should always switch accordingly. Then when those devices are turned off, it will just go to the lower number or in out where a change is detected.
Again to summarize-
Switcher will switch to lowest input number where power is detected unless a "power on" change detected in another input.
Switcher will not switch back and forth between two devices that are always detected on by switcher (even if you turn them "off").
I hope this clears up confusion and helps.
What I like
- Powered by the 5 volt supply that is part of the HDMI standard, like USB's 5 volt supply scheme. IOW it gets power from any of the inputs (but seemingly not the output). So it is not shipped with a 5 volt wall wart even though it includes a 5 V input socket.
- Very compact and fits out of the way.
- Automatic operation, so the remote is unnecessary -- see below.
Didn't like
- The output port is on the opposite side from the 3 inputs. This makes cable connections bulky.
- Blue LED is a bit bright.
The best feature is the automatic switching. It works perfectly. The rule is: When an external devices is switched on, it is automatically switched to.
Here's how it works in practice with a Roku and a BluRay player attached.
The Roku is always ON so it is switched to when first connected. When the OFF BlyRay was connected next the Roku stayed selected.
When the BluRay was turned ON, the 3-1 switched to it automatically. Again, when it was switched OFF the Roku was automatically selected. No need for a remote. IOW, the 3-1 was controlled by turning the BluRay OFF and ON.
Similarly, if there are 3 devices, the switch will always connect to the one that you switch ON most recently. I have an X-Box and two other devices connected, all of which are usually OFF. So it works perfectly when I switch one of them ON.
But what happens when you have two or three inputs that are ALWAYS ON? There are three ways of solving this.
- Turn the desired one OFF then ON. It will be selected.
- Use the supplied remote to select input 1, 2 or 3 by pressing the corresponding button.
- Press the top button on the switch itself and cycle 1-2-3 to the desired input.
Another point if you have ALL 3 devices ON and turn one of them OFF. The 3-1 switch always goes in 1-2-3-1-2-3-1... sequence, where the next "higher" number is selected. IOW, if device 1 is powered OFF, then 2 is selected. If 2 goes OFF, then 3. If 3 goes OFF then 1 is selected. What this means to me is that the switch is not "automatic" in the case when you turn 2 OFF and want 1 (3 is automatically selected when 2 goes OFF). In this case you have to do one of the three ways shown above. But if you usually want device 1 when you turn 2 OFF, then swap cables 1 and 2 and it will work for you. In any case I don't see this as a big problem.
Good bargain, no wall wart to add to the rats nest, and works automatically in most practical situations.
