<p>A couple things come to mind with my use of HDMI switches around
here. Main one is if using a Raspberry Pi the RPi sometimes
doesn't see the final HDMI device (i.e. TV) fast enough and
switches to its composite video output and stays there until
rebooted. There is a simple fix to the boot configuration file.
<br>
</p>
<p>The switches won't work without a 5v (?) input, which is usually
snagged from an HDMI input; you may need an external DC Input, so
either another wall wart or a charging adapter with multiple 2A
outputs. (Thinking up here where I have an RPi and HDMI switch,
both need power.)<br>
</p>
<p>My switches (so limited experience) will automatically switch to
the last active device -- maybe better phrased 'latest activated
input'. If you power up your BluRay player the switch will
automatically switch to that input, which isn't bad unless you're
watching a different input. That's happened once in over a year
here.</p>
<p>I have found it handy to have an HDMI coupler for
troubleshooting, that way can take out the switch, connect the two
male ends of the cable together. (I get mine from an
out-of-country source at around 50¢ each.)<br>
