DVDO's new Quick6 HDMI switch is a high-performance HDMI switcher that features InstaPrevue technology, which enables a live picture-in-picture preview of each connected HDMI device. The Quick6 HDMI switch includes six 300MHz HDMI inputs, MHL support, InstaPrevue, and InstaPort - and let's you use all that technology without having to replace an existing AV receiver. The product's dual HDMI outputs can also be used to drive two displays simultaneously - and independently with different sources (in Matrix mode). Custom installers will likely love the Quick6 HDMI switch as it seems to be an ideal product for new and existing home theater setups with multiple HDMI sources and displays.

The Quick6 HDMI switch features:

  • Six 300MHz HDMI inputs
  • MHL input to connect a mobile device to a display
  • Two 300MHz HDMI outputs - two displays or one display and one AVR
  • InstaPrevue - Live previews of active inputs
  • InstaPort - Near instantaneous input switching
  • Coax and optical S/PDIF outputs
  • Audio Return Channel (ARC)
  • RS232 port for home automation
  • Automatic input selection

We like the new DVDO Quick6. It's fast, it's easy... and they gave out flying monkeys at their booth. Yes, that matters.

The price will be something under $500 and it's due out around Q1 of 2013.
