Pros: Machine has 8 HDMI inputs and 8 HDMI Outputs. You can display any of the inputs to any output you want. It lets you have only one input at a time per output; however you can make whatever combinations of inputs/outputs you want. Even lets you have one input on all outputs. The signal seems strong even when you have all or one. You can save macros on the system for quick switching. There is a built in web-server to use that makes this easy. The device is rack mount and sturdy. It can also sit out on a desk if that is how you have your setup. The machine has not crashed even once. It is very stable. The push buttons are nice. There is enough room for tape labels if you are frugal with space and use small type without margins. I have one hooked up with mac minis, windows PC, a chrome cast, an apple TV, a DVD player, and a receiver that does HDMI output. I used cat6 to HDMI converters to reach some of the TV's that are far away. I have TV's on all of the outputs however sometimes I will temporarily attach a PC monitor. So far no issues with any of these technologies.

Cons: I'd make sure you have a firewall on this one as the built in web server is not encrypted. Someone else in your network and anywhere in between may be able to get your login password with the correct tools. You can only have two users on this. The onboard screen is not very intuitive and low resolution. You're better off using the web console for administration.

Overall Review: This is professional grade gear.
