IOGEAR’s Automatic HDMI Switch Compatible with Apple TV™ [05-14-2007]


Provides extra input ports to easily integrate the device into home entertainment systems

Irvine, CA – May 14, 2007 – IOGEAR’s HDMI 2x1 Automatic Switch (model # GHDMIAS2) allows users to concurrently connect Apple TVs and additional High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) products to televisions. It provides two ports and automatically transfers high-definition video and audio to an HD TV through a single output. The newly released Apple TV allows digital home enthusiasts to easily view and listen to content from iTunes, such as movies, TV shows, music and podcasts, on their big-screen displays. However, most television sets do not have enough HDMI inputs to simultaneously support a variety of devices, including Apple TVs, set top boxes, DVD players and gaming consoles. By linking multiple products to an HD TV through one port, IOGEAR’s switch is an ideal solution. “As multimedia content is becoming increasingly widespread and available online, we anticipate the Apple TV to permeate living rooms across the country,” said Miranda Su, vice president of marketing at IOGEAR. “With our HDMI 2x1 Automatic Switch, consumers can easily and seamlessly integrate it into their existing home entertainment set-ups.” The product is High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)™ compliant and supports 1080p resolution. It has an MSRP of $169.95 and is available at select retail outlets and from major catalog and online resellers. The HDMI 2x1 Automatic Switch also comes with IOGEAR’s standard three-year warranty.
