Do I need HDMI cables to connect the devices to the switcher?

Yes . you need one HDMI cable to go from the switch to your TV . and one HDMI cable for each device you are going to connect to it.

Yes, you need one cable from the switch to the TV, and one cable from each device to the switch.

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

This unit is consider a splitter, basically the unit has 1 input and two outputs; this means that whatever signal is plugged in to the 1 input, this signal would be display thru the two outputs at the same time. I believe what youy're looking for is an HDMI switcher

It has worked for me using the following instructions. You have to use an HDMI splitter not a switch. The connections are like this: HDMI out of cable box to HDMI splitter then from HDMI splitter out to HDMI in on the avermedia device. I bought the hdmi splitter from Amazon.com about 15 months ago. I assume that they are still available. It was relatively inexpensive when I got it. Hope that this helps.

I did not receive a power supply with my unit. I don't know that its needed. I have had my HDMI switcher for a year now and it always selects the active port. I have a Blue ray player, Kindle and laptop connected to it.

Nope, not necessary. You will probably want a 1.3 spec Cat 2 cable. That will set you back about $5 plus shipping. The cable people are at monoprice.com. Most HDMI cables are 6 feet. If that works for you this is what you should buy... http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=3992&seq=1&format=2.

If your challenge is that your newer TV only has HDMI inputs then you could still use this box but would need an HDMI to RCA cable to connect it to the TV (this switch box only has rca inputs/outputs). But then you should be fine.

I have a different brand of HDMI switcher and it works well. As long as the switcher supports infrared control, it should be fine. I think Logitech has compatibility lists on their site.

I am currently using a manual HDMI switcher in addition to this converter. No problems.

This unit sometimes DOES need power. Devices such as the Directv Genie don't give off any power through their HDMI output, so it WILL NOT WORK without an AC Adapter supplying power to the switch. Check if your devices HDMI output ports give off 5V of power. If not, then you need an adapter. The seller is aware of this, but refuses to update their description. Also, it's not helping that reviewers are saying no power adapter is needed. Sometimes it IS needed.

You can put your hdmi in the apogee hdmi. You can select which device you have hooked up to the apogee hdmi switcher

This is a splitter, which will only branch the same image to both of your TVs. What you're looking for is an HDMI Switcher that has one HDMI in and 2 HDMI outs. Switchers come with a button or switch on the box that usually change the setting between sending out through port 1 or port 2, and sometimes come with the option of both ports or neither port. Switchers can also be found with remote controls. I have a Sewell Direct Ibis, which I believe will do exactly what you want, although it does not come with a remote control. The Ibis is also available in a 1x3 if that interests you more than the 1x2.I hope this helps. This is a splitter, which will only branch the same image to both of your TVs.

No you will need another hdmi cable, these are only for audio.If the blue ray player doesn't have an input/output then you will just need a switcher I got one here that's cheap and works great, you can plug 2 (or more depending on switch) hdmi cables into it then the one from the switch goes into the tv

No, this is to hook up you PC to two monitors, what you need is a switch box, depending on your video out put cables from your X-Box, and what your monitor has on the input connections, if your X-Box has HDMI output, and your monitor does too, then you don't need a Box, It all depends on what kind of monitor you are using. If your using a PC monitor then you will need a multi-cable switch Box, if you use a TV as a monitor, then you should have a few different connections in the back. Hope this helps.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

yes however you will have to set up the remote control for all your devices. You do not need any separate devices just hdmi cable.

Actually you will need 3 hdmi cables. One with computer input and 2 others out to 2hdmi monitors. I would not buy splitter cables (one side with 2 hdmi out) because they usually do not work as well.
