Any of the amazon one's should work. I would also suggest throwing an EDID spoofer/cloner inline though as some of those chaper ones will disconnect your second input when input 1 is active. The spoofer will hold the link to your machine regardless of what input is active.

I Think you missed the remote part....

I guess you want to do it via a greater distance ? What protocoll you can send... rs232 is quite cheap and still used but its limited to the distance... network should be the good way...

Sure you can use some Barco pds 4k xD but i guess thats out of the budged?


So to narrow it a bit down... Budged? Distance? able to have 4k? DIY or industry standart?


i sugest you scroll through the offer of a good av shop like teltec or avone....

IR extenders over ethernet are cheap. Not sure what the definition of "remote" is? same building, different city?

Sorry for the confusion I want to switch between inputs from home completely away from office so that is why I was thinking of some kind of network where I'm able to switch.

Maybe a network based KVM and a VPN?

Not tried myself, but came across these after noticing a repository for them on the Bitfocus Companion GitHub.

You could run a satellite companion install at the office and control it from home.
