Customer Review

I bought this HDMI switch in order to operate the following devices without swapping can:

1. Xbox 360
2. Raspberry Pi with OpenELEC
3. Miracast dongle (this:)
4. Windows PC

Although My TV has 4 HDMI ports, but two are already occupied by Entertain receiver and DVD / BluRay player.

On one side is located in the middle HDMI.out next HDMI.in 1 and 5. On the other side are the ports HDMI.in 2.3 and 4. Because of Miracast dongle is slightly wider than a HDMI connector, plugged this 5. Port 4 and the PC in Port Port 3 is still free, but would only be used if the Miracast dongle is connected via a short HDMI extension.

1 complaint: long delivery time (20 days)

2. gripe: The dongle does not recognize the Raspberry Pi and the Miracast dongle. At Port 2 can indeed switch, but the TV remains dark and Port 4 can not even be switched. Also an external power supply does not improve the situation. Thus, the switch for me is useless, a returning wg. the low price but unfortunately uneconomical.

Positives: In the Xbox 360 and the PC can be switched easily. The picture is top and an external power supply is required.

Conclusion: Wg problems with Raspberry Pi and Miracast dongle for me, unfortunately, a bad buy..

Edit (10/26/14): After reconfiguration I increase to 4 stars. The following units depend now on HDMI Switch:

1. Media Receiver (IPTV)
2. BluRay / DVD player
3. Xbox 360
4. PC

and function. The previously problematic devices Raspberry Pi and Miracast depend now directly to each one HDMI port on the TV.

This is not my desire configuration, but I can live with. (Must be taped) to a star deduction is available for the too-bright LEDs and too long delivery time.

Since yesterday, the remote control stops working. At the Battery it can not lie. The can be described with 3.1V as full. Because I now just can switch kneeling directly on the device, I reduce back to a star. Too bad.
