HDMI switch?

My monitor unfortunately only has one HDMI port, and rather than keep having to unplug one, and plus in another every time I want to use something different, I'm thinking it might be worth getting a HDMI switch.

Requirements:
- HDCP Support
- Control signal support (DVI, which I would assume using either a DVI-HDMI cable or the ATI DVI-HDMI adapter would count as) so that the PC can be used with it and doesn't end up with it saying 'No Input Signal'.
- Supports 1920x1200
- Audio Support (so it obviously keeps the audio in the signal if I'm using the PS3 or the ATI DVI-HDMI adapter with the PC).
- Allows manual switching (as I'd most likely still be running the PC when on the PS3)

I'd assume I would only need a 2-port switch as I only have the PS3 and PC to plug into it, but I could be open to a 3-port switch in case I were to ever get a 3rd HDMI enabled device in future.

So, any suggestions on ones that would fit my criteria, and preferably as cheap as possible?

Thanks :)

Bump - still interested in suggestions please :)

Dude.

Think about it.

It's just an electrical switch, it's not doing anything clever. Any switch will work for all purposes, as if you had connected two leads together physically. I have one of these and I use it to connect my PC and PS3 to my projector.

If you bought a really expensive one which was doing post-processing or something, it might have compatibility issues but a regular one will just work.

I was mainly asking due to the fact that a DVI switch I bought and tried once, had the problem of not passing the PC control signal through, so I assumed that the same issue might occur with HDMI switches too (particularly since at one point - though I forget what search terms I used exactly - I did one search via Google for a HDMI switch and the item the search mentioned, stated it not being able to pass the control signal through).

Thanks for the clarification and advice :)

I've got a HDMI switch made by Octavia.

It was one of the first available and was quite pricey, not sure how much they are now though, the tech has been around a long time and prices should be much lower.

The Octavia kit will do exactly what you want.
