The StarTech.com VS221HDQ is a 2-port HDMI switch that lets home or office users share one display or projector between two HDMI sources, with automatic, priority, and manual switching for convenient source selection. It supports up to 1080p or 1920×1200 and 7.1-channel audio.
Recommended For
- People who alternate between two computers on one 1080p monitor and want to switch video inputs without unplugging cables; the switch offers automatic, priority, and manual selection.
- Home-theater users who share one TV between two sources, such as a set-top box and Blu-ray player, and want the active or higher-priority source to appear without manually changing cables.
- Offices or meeting rooms with a fixed display or projector shared by two HDMI sources, where a mounted switch and simple front-panel or remote selection are useful.
- Users with an existing 1080p or 1920×1200 setup who want EDID copying to help preserve display settings when switching between sources.
