Applications

Home Theater Integration

Digital Signage Deployment

Information Kiosks/Displays

Film/Recording Studios

In the medical or industrial field, where it may not be

practical (or safe) to have one or more CPUs in the

general vicinity, SmartAVI’s HDMI Switch Series is the

perfect solution, allowing for either PC or Mac signals

to be extended from computer to the display.

Another practical use for one of our HDMI Switch would

be for media recording studios, where soundproofing

and space issues come into play. Using a HDMI Switch

eliminates the inherent “hum” of a powered CPU and

gives you the freedom of using your keyboard, mouse

and monitor without having to find room for the

computer itself in the same workspace.
