When all you need is a compact HDMI switching solution to toggle between two source devices, the Monoprice 2×1 Mini HDMI Switch is an excellent option. This tiny HDMI switch features standard HDMI ports, with the ‘mini’ designation indicating the device’s diminutive dimensions. It seamlessly switches between two HDMI input sources based on their power state, eliminating the necessity for an additional power adapter as it draws power directly from the connected HDMI devices. However, an external power source can be optionally employed to compensate for weak signal strength from one of the sources. The switch supports High Speed HDMI (up to 1080p), High Definition audio transmission, and 12-bit color depth per component. For added flexibility, a button allows users to override automatic functionality and select the active input manually, useful when connected sources continue to output data via the HDMI cable even when powered off or in standby.
