The Infinius is our elite range of HDMI switcher units. Eyefix technology actively improves the HDMI signal integrity as it passes through the switcher chipset.
Engineered with the most demanding and challenging set ups in mind, Infinius models are built to faultlessly accommodate the intense, high speed data rates associated with Full-HD 1080p 48-bit Deep Colour resolutions even over long cable runs.
Advanced Eyefix technology effectively solves signal distortion and degradation that occurs over HDMI cable runs by actively compensating and correcting the signal, reviving it back to the precise (wide open eye pattern) signal quality that it had at the start of the cable run at the source device. This ensures that the signal quality exiting the switcher is as precise as when it first left the source device. For more info on Eyefix technology and how it works click here.
The Infinius 5 input HDMI switcher allows you to connect up to five HDMI 1.3 source devices (such as HD Satellite Receivers, Games Consoles, Blu-ray & DVD Players) to a single HD display or projector and easily switch between them with absolutely no loss of quality. The unit also supports high specification 24fps and 100Hz devices.
The unit features a stylish mirrored front panel, 24K gold input connector contacts and a robust metal casing. Switching between the connected devices is easily performed using the slim line remote control provided, simply by pressing the desired input - 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
Having a central point to manage all your HD devices brings some great potential advantages. Firstly, there is no longer a need to get up off the sofa, tediously disconnecting and reconnecting cables manually at the back of your TV set. Another great advantage of using a switcher unit comes if you are planning to hide long cable lengths under floors or behind walls. The switcher allows you to simply run a single output cable to the TV, but gives you the option of having additional inputs available and ready should you acquire and wish to connect more devices in the future. These new devices can simply be connected to the hub, so there is no need to rip up the floors or walls again to lay additional leads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What will this HDMI switcher work with?
This switcher unit has been designed to be compatible with a wide range of HD devices such as Blu-ray players, PlayStaion3, Sky HD, Xbox 360, Vigin+, laptops and computers (connections permitting) amplifiers, HDTV’s and projectors. Look out for the HDMI™ logo on your device, if it is there this unit should be compatible with it.
I need to run a HDMI connection longer than 15 metres from the unit, what do you recommend?
A HDMI extender/repeater block will extend the range of your cable run connected to the switcher. However, for a more more specialist and reliable solution we also stock extra long active HDMI cables as well as HDMI over CAT5 solutions which can potentially allow your cable run to extend beyond 50 metres.
What is the difference between a Switcher and a Splitter?
A switcher is designed for use with one display. A splitter is designed for use with multiple displays. A switcher will allow you to connect multiple inputs devices to a single display with only one HDMI input available for example. A splitter will allow you to split a signal to multiple displays, an example would sending a Sky Sports HD image to 4 screens simultaneously around a bar.
How does this switcher differ to your Pro-2™ switcher models?
The primary difference between the two ranges is the quality of construction and assembly of the units. The Infinius® range uses more expensive internal components and is more robust in build-quality. The Infinius® range also has USB connectivity with the potential to upgrade the unit’s firmware. The Pro-2 range is designed more with simplicity and 'no frills' functionality and budget in mind. The Infinius® is a high-end unit of an extremely high caliber and the Pro-2 is a functional, but still effective design.
