The Oppo HM-31 is a 3x1 HDMI switcher supporting the latest HDMI 1.3 standard including deep color, higher bandwidth and a signal equalizer. At $100, the HM-31 provides an inexpensive HDMI switching alternative to a new receiver. Most new flat-panel televisions have 2 HDMI inputs, but likely the consumer has 3 (or more) HDMI devices like an HD DVD/Blu-ray player, set-top box (cable, satellite, TiVo), and next-generation video game system (Xbox 360, PS3).

The HM-31 makes it easy switch between your DVD player, set-top box, and gaming system using the included credit card sized remote, a button on the player itself, or let the HM-31 switch automatically by analyzing the presence of an HDMI signal. In the case of automatic switching, the inputs are assigned a priority (ie. 1st, 2nd, 3rd) to determine which source gets displayed if there is more than one signal present.
