HDMI switch with RSP-1098

[imbeaujp]

Hello !

I have the RSP-1098 and I want to add a HDMI switch with 4 input and 2 output. Nothing complex here, but I want to integrate that switch with RS-232 so when I switch input on the ROTEL the switch do so.

Anyone knows how to do that ?

What product to buy ?

Thank you !

Well it is complex..

The only thing that will do that out of the box is Rotel's RVE-1060, but it only has a 2x1 HDMI switch.

To do it RS232 would require some type of automation controller. As you would have to watch the strings coming from the 1098 and then send other strings out to the switcher.

What you really need is an IR learning switch. The only one I could find right now is a Monster one, but it's only 3x1. With one of those you would learn the input commands from the rotel remote into it, so it would follow respond as you switched inputs.

There's are plenty of 4x2's out there that come with a remote. You could learn those commands into the 1098's remote (or a universal) and create macro's to send the Rotel input command and the switch input command.

I have got the Octava 5x2 HDMI switch.

It is autodetecting, so there is no need to use the remote for switching.
