AV SWITCH
Accell‘s compact UltraAV HDMI 2-1 switch enables simultaneous connection between two AV sources with a thin, wireless remote. The switch is smaller than a deck of playing cards, allowing a discreet setup, and does not use an external power power source, freeing up space and an extra power outlet. Priced at $99, it maintains resolutions of up to 1080p, offering a cheap solution that delivers high performance for your AV setup needs.
