[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 89547, member: 114"] Re: Switching for video Rob, pretty much the same approach as audio, keep trying to narrow it down and see if you can isolate it to particular components or cables. And with HDMI connectors it could be as simple as a poorly seated connector. I will also note that although theoretically the video portion of HDMI and DVI-D/I are identical and I have usually been able to adapt directly between them without any problem, I have encountered some devices that don't always work properly with that. When I encountered a problem with a specific HDMI input device one of the first questions that manufacturer asked was whether we were sending it actual HDMI or DVI via an adapter cable, turns out they had apparently found that their product did not work reliably with a number of DVI-to-HDMI adapters. And although apparently a known 'feature', that was not noted in any of the product literature or documentation. To their credit, the manufacturer agreed to take the units back, unfortunately the Contractor was not a direct dealer and had purchased them through a distributor who would not take them back.
