My Review of the new ViewHD Prosumer: 5 STAR
I returned the ViewHD Premium 3D HDMI 4x2 Matrix v1.3 for the ViewHD Prosumer 3D HDMI 4x2 True Matrix and I could not be happier. The switcher works better than the original and works flawlessly with my PS3, Verizon Fios Box, and my PC. I have one output going to Tv for Tv Audio and one to my Receiver so I can watch Tv with Tv Audio and play a Game on PC or vice Versa. The one thing I did determine though I had to first change HMDI Inputs (switch from one to the other and back) on my Vizio HD Tv so that it could resync to the new switcher or you will get no video or audio this is because HDMI devices have there own E-DID signature.
1. Switcher switches better and more efficiently everytime. (Note it's best to press both outputs you want when switching as it is an electronic switcher/splitter so if I want input A1 and input B2 I will press them in order A1 and B2 and it will switch efficiently. Do not press just the one button at a time as it's a Matrix switcher and wants both inputs to be selected.)
2. I have not had a single audio drop out on me so that informs me that the device previous reviewer is using is the problem I have mine hooked up to a Vizio Tv for one output and the other is hooked up to a new Samsung E-5500W with wireless rear speaker hookup.
3. The only time I have about a 3-5 second switching delay is if I have my input set as a splitter so I am actually on A1 and B1 the same input than if I turn on one of the devices the output is connected to the device outputs will lose timing for a few seconds while the devices sync to the E-DID signal. This has to be expected for HDMI devices and ONLY happens if on same input and one of the device that it outputs to is turned on.
The only issue I have seen is my Tv will quit syncing with the receiver itself but that is the PC HDMI Audio output issue and I will have to send a good strong audio signal to trigger it again like running the demo Helicopter virtual test or something like that to activate it but that ONLY happens on the PC never to the PS3 or the Verizon Box so that is my PC and Audio out issue. So if you are using HDMI audio out only for the PC and not for video this may happen at times but just start a new audio and that will usually get it resynced.
My setup is quite unusual and if it works for me it should work great for you.
A output HDMI to Samsung Home Theatre System
B output HDMI to Vizio 32" Tv
Input 1 = HMDI from PC
Input 2 = HMDI from Verizon Fios Box
Input 3 = HDMI from PS3
Now I often will watch Tv with audio going to Tv only and my PC sending Audio only to my Receiver hence why I say I have a strange setup and so I will watch a Tv Show on PC Audio only and still have Audio from my PC going to the Samsung Receiver. I will simply press A1 and B2 it will switch in about 3-5 seconds and works! With only Audio from PC to Receiver. I had a heck of a time getting this to switch in the ViewHD Premium! So this switcher will do the job for you reliably!
I use this to simplify a home theater installation over a fireplace where I could only run limited wiring through a conduit in the wall. I have one hdmi cable for the tv, one optical audio cable for the sound bar and one remote transmitter in the wall an the rest of the rat's nest of wires is managed by this switcher in the adjoining room (along with a second TV in that room). I bough this switch to replace an older switch simply because of the 5.1/2.0 buttons. Those buttons don't activate magic filters to convert ordinary sound into surround sound, what they do is tell your devices which sound mode to use. HDMI connections do this automatically so that you always have the right sound configuration for your system, but for those of us without expensive HDMI-ready home theater receivers (if you have one of those, you don't need this device by the way), we want the optical cable to serve dolby digital audio to our budget sound systems regardless of what our budget TV tells the source device over the HDMI connection. It's complicated, but to illustrate with a specific case - I have one Apple TV that I use for either of the two TVs connected to this switch. If we watch a movie on the TV in the main room with the sound bar, I want it to output dolby digital audio.so the optical cable connected from this switch to the soundbar will give me the best sound. If we watch something in on the second TV in the bedroom, I can't have it output dolby digital audio since that TV needs to get stereo sound over the HDMI connection or it won't work. I'd rather not have to go into the settings menu on the Apple TV and switch Dolby Digital on and off all the time, so I leave it set to Auto and use the 5.1/2.0 button on the remote for this switch to achieve the desired results.
So, this switch is great because it solves those complicated problems, but it's not perfect because it freezes regularly. Fortunately, there's a reset button on the remote to solve that problem. There are more expensive professional quality switches out there that work much better, I'm sure, but as a consumer I would spend the money on an HDMI-ready receiver and a second set of devices for the other TV.
Also, it is definitely inconvenient to have another tiny little remote that gets lost easily, and the buttons on the front of the switch itself are absolutely impossible to read, so I highly recommend pairing this with a logitech harmony system or something similar.
The down side of the device is that the yellow position signal on the front is weak and the sensor for the IR doesn't have a large acceptance angle nor does it have enough sensitivity. But all is forgiven for the convenience it provides. I use a Harmony (Logitech) remote so switching from one system to another is just one push of a button to configure everything. Sometimes the sound gets lost in the transition. I don't know if that is a Samsung problem or this product but turning off the Home Theater and turning it back on solves the problem quickly on the rare times that it happens.
There is a second output which allows you to send a different signal to another device. So I will pass my computer HDMI out to the box then back to my monitor. Now I can watch the Tivo on my monitor if I want to and something else on the TV. I like!
