Description

Three game consoles, streaming boxes or media players can stay connected to one TV. The switch shows the active device on its own, and the select button and LED lights handle the rest. Setup takes minutes, and you do not touch the cables again.

Connect three HDMI devices to one TV with a compact switch that auto-detects the active source or lets you select manually

Solves
  • Not enough HDMI ports on TV
  • Constantly swapping cables between consoles and streaming boxes
  • Manual source switching hassle

Three devices, one TV, zero cable swapping

Before: unplugging and replugging HDMI cables every time the couch changes hands. After: all three devices stay connected, and the switch picks the active one for you.

Three inputs, one output, zero swapping

Auto-switch to the active device

When one device is on, its picture appears on the TV without touching the switch. If two are on, the last one you connected takes the screen. Press the select button to move to the other input. Both modes work the same way every time, so there is nothing to memorize.

Three inputs, one output

The housing measures 8.1 cm wide and 1.7 cm thick, so it fits on a TV stand without pushing the set forward. Three sources feed a single TV input through a fixed 50 cm output cable. Count the length from the TV's HDMI port to the switch before you order.

Gold-plated connectors

The HDMI plugs are gold-plated and sit in a matte black plastic housing with a clean edge. The select button and the three LED lights are on the top surface, so you can see the live input from across the room. Premium materials at this size are what keep the connections stable over years of plugging and unplugging.

The numbers behind the switch

  • 3HDMI inputs on one switch
  • 1HDMI output to the TV
  • 50 cmFixed output cable (19.7 in)
  • 8.1 cmWidth, 1.7 cm thick

Plug in once, switch with a press

  1. 1
    Plug each device into an input

    Connect your console, streaming box and media player to inputs 1, 2 and 3. Note which device is in which port so the LED lights make sense later.

  2. 2
    Connect the output to the TV

    Plug the fixed 50 cm cable into a free HDMI input on your TV. Never plug it into one of the switch's input ports.

  3. 3
    Power on one device

    With one device on, the switch detects it and shows its picture. Its LED lights up to confirm the input.

  4. 4
    Use the select button for the rest

    If two devices are on, the last one connected takes the screen. Press the select button to move to the other input.

From crawling behind the TV to one press

The two-port problem

Your TV has two HDMI ports and a console, a streaming box and a media player all want one. So the console comes unplugged to watch a show, and goes back in when game night starts. Every swap means reaching behind the stand and hunting for the right cable.

Plug in once

Plug the three devices into inputs 1 to 3 and run the fixed 50 cm cable to the TV. After that, nothing comes out of the back of the TV again. The switch sends the signal from whichever device is on.

Game night, streaming night

Friday starts with a controller press instead of a cable hunt. Switch to the streaming box on Sunday with the same remote. The LED lights show which input is live, so nobody has to guess what is on screen.

Questions and answers

Will it work with my PS4, Xbox or Apple TV?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, these are the kinds of sources the switch is built for. Plug each one into an input, then power it on or use the select button to pick it.

Is the 50 cm output cable long enough for my TV?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is fixed at 50 cm (19.7 in). Measure from your TV's HDMI port to the spot where the switch will sit. If the console sits far from the TV, put the switch closer to the set and run the longer cable to your consoles instead.

Does it switch automatically or do I have to press a button?
w
Wanelo · seller

Both. A single powered-on device shows up on its own. When several are on, the last one you connected takes the screen, and the select button moves you to the one you want.

Does it support 4K, and will it degrade the picture?
w
Wanelo · seller

The listing names 4K, 2K and 1080p support. Keep the switch between your sources and the TV, and use certified HDMI cables for the inputs, since a weak cable causes more trouble than the switch does.

Is it better than a cheap HDMI splitter I already own?
w
Wanelo · seller

A splitter cannot choose a source, so every device fights for the screen. This switch picks one, shows which input is live with LED lights, and gives you manual control. For a TV that needs three sources, it saves the cost of a second TV input device and the daily cable swapping.
