Monoprice 108150 Mini HDMI Switch

The Monoprice 2x1 Mini HDMI Switch addresses a common problem in entertainment setups: too many HDMI sources and not enough inputs on your display. This compact device accepts two HDMI inputs and routes the selected source to a single HDMI output, letting you keep a game console and streaming device both connected to a TV or monitor that only has one available HDMI port. A manual button on the switch toggles between the two sources, and the unit draws its power directly from the connected HDMI devices, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter in most configurations.

Supporting resolutions up to 1080p with 12-bit per channel color depth and high-definition audio passthrough, the switch is suitable for HD content from Blu-ray players, game consoles, cable boxes, and similar devices. Its small physical footprint allows it to be tucked behind a display or mounted discreetly near your equipment. For users who need only two additional inputs and work within 1080p resolution, this switch provides a reliable and inexpensive alternative to upgrading to a receiver or a more complex switching system. An optional external power connection is available for setups where the HDMI sources do not provide sufficient bus power.
