1) Do you own or have need for an HDMI switcher?
I do not own, but see a need within a year or less
2) If you were on the market for an HDMI switcher, assuming it had the correct number of inputs and was in your price range, how would each of the following features sway your purchase?
1. Front Panel Control only (can control the switcher only from the front of the unit)
Only if I was looking for most inexpensive to use with components that are not used that often, they YES
2. IR Remote Control (need line-of-sight to control the switcher with a IR remote)
Yes, most likely purchase. Would need to use universal codes so it could be integrated into a universal remote
3. IR Remote Receiver (similar to above but allows the switcher to be hidden out of view)
Not as important to me for my setup
4. RS-232 Control (allows integration into a home automation system)
Next best thing to having a remote compatible with a universal remote.
5. Other (please provide other options that would be of interest to you)
Would it be possible to make it auto detect? A switch in the back could be used to determine the order in which the HDMI switches took precedent.
