Hello,

 

does anyone know if all gefen hdmi switchers use the same ir compatible codes for B&O's BV7 ?

 

As I will aquire another BV7 - this time a 32" MK3 - I need another hdmi switcher. It's nearly impossible to get the same gefen hdmi switcher I already have.

There're some around on ebay, but with different specs like Gefen 3x1 Switcher HDMI 1.3 or one named Gefen ToolBox 4 x 1 switcher for HDMI 1.3.

Can I use these too ? I want to connect only 2 HDMI devices to the BV7.

 

Regards

Martin

MK III has DVI and YPbPr as HD inputs, so no need for HDMI switch....if only 2 inputs are required.

Hello Ralf,

 

I want to connect a DVB-S receiver and an ATV2. None of these got a YPbPr connection, so I must have a converter anyway, so why not a hdmi switcher right from the start ?

As I found out so far, all gefen hdmi switchers which use these remotes will work with the integrated gefen puc of BV7:

So these both older hdmi switchers should work:

 

 

Bought both of them on ebay for little money. Will give you definite feedback.
