HDMI Matrix Switch: Enables switching between multiple HD sources and multiple HD displays
The HDMI Matrix Switch routes high definition video from many HDMI sources to many HDMI displays. The matrix format allows for versatility and eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect sources to a display with a single input. By using this device, a user ensures a versatile environment wherein he can literally have the same program material displayed on all HDMI outputs, or can use the device to send signals from different sources to different displays simultaneously. Beneficial to end users, this switcher operates on High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology which provides HD video and multi-channel audio through a single cable.
This type of Video Matrix Switch works with any source which is connected to a HDMI display. Working on the plug and play methodology, the inputs of this device need to be connected to the HDMI sources and the displays to the outputs of the matrix. Once power is applied the matrix is ready for use. Switching between the sources and outputs is easy and can be done via front-panel manual control buttons, Infra Red remote control or via RS-232. The front-panel LED's indicate which input has been selected. A key feature of this device is the ability to maintain high resolution video up to 1080p and computer resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Certified by CE, FCC and ROHS and being HDMI and HDCP compliant, this HDMI Matrix Switcher ensures that the video signal is not pirated and the viewer gets to see crystal clear and crisp high resolution images. Available in many models such as 2x2, 4x2 and 4x4, this device has the ability to overlook those input sources which are not in use.
Larger distributions can be achieved as this device can be daisy chained or stacked and hence offers multiple viewing combinations. It can support a Video Amplifier Bandwidth up to 2.25Gpbs/225MHz and works with HD-DVD players, TiVo systems, PCs, and satellite set top boxes that connect to an HDMI display. People who have a HD monitor with less than the desired number of HDMI inputs can use the HDMI Matrix Switch to expand the system. Digital Signage, Commercial installations and home theaters are some examples of high definition video applications where this device is being used.

HDMI Audio Setup?
I have an audio problem with my setup...
I have a Panasonic Projector and a Sony LCD TV that are fed with a Panasonic Home Theatre System, a Playstation 3, a Cable Box, and a DVDR/VCR. I bought a 4x2 switch, but figured out that it would only do video. I would like to get the audio of what is showing on the projector back to the home theatre system, preferrably by HDMI. But, my system only has one HDMI port and it is an output. I would go digital optical but the home theatre system doesn't support it. Should I stay with composite audio, or upgrade? What systems have optical in or hdmi in that are reliable?
You can get selector switches for HDMI

These will switch both video and audio.
