Has anyone ever tried an HDMI switch with an Xite-1?
I currently have mine hooked up to my (old)laptop but i was thinking of running it to another desktop just for shits and giggles.

i don't know, but since the XITE's connection is not HDMI, a switch might make problems or cause damage.
it's likely not to work, since the XITE is not hot-swappable. the XITE must be in communication with the computer's main board from boot to shut-down.

Wasn't intending to hot swap but yeah prob not worth the trouble or risk. I mean how hard is it just to unplug it and insert a different cable? haha
What about length? Any problems with say 20-25' ?

Reminder that a switch adds latency to the connection.
