If anybody is still interested, I found a HAMA HDMI Switcher 2x1 and modified it in order to make it work in reverse mode (1 input, 2 outputs). Actually, bypassing the diodes is not the correct solution and may be dangerous for the attached devices. Since in the passive switch there is no room for all the HDMI channels, the 5 V wires are not switched, but connected in parallel through the diodes which avoid current flowing from one power supply to the other. Please note that the 5 V channel is required since it is often used to enable the input port. To make the HDMI switcher correctly work in reverse mode, the diodes' polarity must be reversed (remove them, turn 180 degrees and put back on the PCB - this requires some soldering skills). This should overcome the Jourei's issue.
Hope this helps. |
