HDMI 3 to 1 Switch

Anyone knows where I can get this HDMI switch ?

Can buy from eBay, if u are not in a hurry.

Anyway, do try to use a shorter cable for the "out" part, as some signals may not be strong enough to traverse the cables from the "in" part together with a longer cable for the "out" part.

I saw this model at DealExtreme but it's a hussle just to order only this item. Thanks for the heads up on the HDMI wire length.

The one selling at eBay will be cheaper than DealExtreme, though taobao is probably the cheapest. But since eBay still uses PayPal it's still ok.

I bought a 50cm cable just for the purpose.

If u want to be even more careful, u can just buy the male-to-male HDMI connector, if u dun need the length on the "out" part.

Where did u buy the 50cm cable?

I dont quite get u on the male-to-male connector. Any pic? *edit: Oh I got it.

fyi, I got 2 diff switches becos the first model has lot of noise, I tot I got a lemon set. After the 2nd model also gives me the same result, I given up. Just unplug my hdmi cable & switch manually. hahaha.

All from eBay lor... I think less than $2 if I got the price correct.

Yes, the HDMI cable has a male connector at each end mah. So the male-to-male connector I'm referring to, is also like a HDMI cable except that it doesn't have the length. So that means the HDMI switch is fixed near the HDMI input of the TV/monitor. If that's not a good place (eg: rear of the TV/monitor which is hard to access) then just use the 50cm one lor.... can even buy 20cm one if I'm not wrong.
