Does this come with a plug-in remote eye, so the device can be mounted somewhere out of sight and have the eye run to where the remote can be aimed at it?

Does this device auto switch inputs based on source activity like CEC?
A shopper
on Jan 9, 2021
BEST ANSWER: This device has an auto source function but the device to which it is connected must be EDID capable. It does recognize compatible devices but with some older devices, in my case the tv to which it is connected I must turn off the other connected device and the tv before it will seek and find another connected device.

Can a Harmony remote control this?
jrlizza

BEST ANSWER: Yes, my Harmony One Control’s this device. The only strange this about this device to me is that it doesn’t have a standby mode, the power switch is a mechanical one so it cannot be powered off via a remote control.

Works Great with PS5 Xbox Series X if you need Optical Out.
This won't do 4K at 120 or other stuff like that. It does 4K at 60. I only have 1080P at 60 so that is all I can test. I get zero sync black outs on video as well.
I have had zero issues since I've owned it. I'll upgrade one day to a 4K at 120Hz or something when I have a display that is capable of that speed.

Very Pleased
With auto source (EDID) it makes the remote control almost superfluous. That's an added feature my previous HDMI switch from Monoprice did not have.
Setup was plug and play, couldn't have been easier. The instructions suggest disconnecting from power source when not in use so even though I only disconnect at night, a power switch would be convenient but as far as I'm concerned it's 5 stars.
My surround sound system is 5.1 and no problems there.

Solved my lip sync issues
I recently bought a Sonos Beam soundbar and connected it to my TVs optical out. This caused lip sync issues for my TiVo, Xbox One and Roku ultra. Now all of my devices are connected to the Switch which separates out the audio before passing video to the tv. No more lip sync issues with Dolby Digital 5.1 signals. Auto input works great, switching to whichever device is most recently switched on.
