The VS0801H Rack Mountable 8-Port HDMI Switch from ATEN lets you add HDMI capabilities to your home theater system by allowing you to switch easily between up to eight HDMI A/V sources such as an HD camcorder or satellite box, HD-DVD player, Hi-Def Blu-ray player, home theater PC, stand-alone streaming media player, gaming console etc. that are connected to your HDMI display.

The remote control and convenient front panel pushbuttons allow you to quickly toggle between HDMI sources, while the front panel LEDs indicate the source device at a glance. Furthermore, for complete system and install integration, RS-232 control is standard through the built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial remote port that allows the switch to be controlled through a high-end controller, PC, and/or home automation/home theater software package.

Q: 7. Can I use daisy chain this, if I want to send 1 audio signal to 32 headphones?

A: You would experience degradation of audio quality by linking these headphone amplifiers. I would suggest using the Rolls RA163 Distribution Amplifier, B&H # RORA163. Connect your mixing board headphone output to the Rolls RA163 with a Pro Co Sound 1/4" Phone Male to 2 1/4" Phone Female Y-Cable - 1,' B&H # PRYCPM2PF1 and two of the Hosa Technology Mono 1/4" Male to 3-Pin XLR Male Audio Cable - 2,' B&H # HOPMXM2. Then you can distribute that signal to two units of the Behringer Powerplay HA8000, using two of the Pearstone PM Series 1/4" TRS M to XLR F Professional Interconnect Cable - 1.5' (0.46 m), B&H # PEPMTRSXF1.5.
