The Excellence HDMI switch with HEAC support is a versatile problem solver for the wiring of home theater systems. It can handle all popular video, audio and 3D formats. In addition to four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, it features also an Ethernet connection. This allows to connect further network-capable components, e.g. a PC or an AV receiver, with the TV if the TV is connected to the Ethernet and supports the HDMI Ethernet channel (HEC). There are also two digital (optical and coaxial) and one analog audio output. Depending on the settings, the audio signal can be provided from the TV (with ARC support) or directly from the HDMI inputs. The digital outputs can be switched to 2.0 (stereo) or 5.1 (surround) respectively.
