Hi all,

I can't see any recent posts on this topic and I'm sure things move on apace....

We are a small volunteer run theatre/cinema and switch between showing DVDs and satellite broadcasts. We need a box that will take 2 or 3 HDMI inputs and switch between them duplicating to two outputs (ie both projector and monitor show the same picture). Sound isn't an issue as we only use HDMI sound for the monitor, the main sound system uses optical and coax from the relevant sources and is switched by a Teufel controller. We currently have a splitter that copies the HDMI picture signal to the projector and the monitor but have to swap cables manually all the time, which is a pain. We do use pigtails to minimise wear on the sockets on the equipment.

It would be nice to get away from swapping cables and use a switch of some sort. The key thing is 100% reliability - we did have a switch that did what we needed but was a little flaky and, when the paying public is in, that's not good.

Has anyone any recommendations? Price is a consideration, obviously, but reliability is the critical factor.
