Hi

I talked to Jim at the business about my needs and he recommended the Vertex2.

I have 3 sources that I need to manage, pushing video and audio to the main screen, and audio only to the HD621. The Dr HDMI solves a different problem.

On the broader, cheaper solutions point, as I understand it (as a novice) 4k is a much more complicated beast on HDMI and the cheaper boxes no longer support the licences / tech / protection mechanisms involved.

For example, he mentioned that Dolby want $150k (I believe...it was certainly well over $100k) as a licence fee, per year, for you to have access to the chips and information to process the streams correctly. A lot of the business just bother anymore.

Whilst I've not got a 4K screen yet, I will this year, and streaming services are using 4k more and more. I also intend to get a 4K Bluray player as soon as I get a good deal on one.
