I’m looking for a video switching device for HDMI.
I know this is an audio forum, but I really like this site so I thought I’d try to solve my problem here. I’m primarily interested in good stereo audio, so I’ve resisted investing in a multi-channel Audio Video Receiver. But I finally did bite the bullet and invest in the Arcam SR-250, a stereo, not a multi-channel, AVR. IT was highly touted for its superior audio quality so I had hopes, but the audio was disappointing so I brought in my old Pioneer SX-1050 stereo receiver out of the closet, had it refurbished, and set it up so it handled all the audio from my AV sources via RCA cables from each source 1) satellite tv, 2) Oppo DVD, 3) Sony Laser Disc and 4) Roku. The Arcam handles the video switching between all those sources via HDMI cable. Now the Arcam has gone down and rather than repair it, I’m wondering if there is a high quality but inexpensive device that would just do simple video switching via HDMI cables between my sources. Then I wouldn’t need to replace the AVR. PS: My TV is not a good switching device.
