How to install StarTech.com 4-Port HDMI Automatic Video Switch
Setting up the StarTech.com 4-Port HDMI Automatic Video Switch is designed to be straightforward, giving you reliable switching with minimal configuration. Whether you’re preparing a classroom presentation station, a small conference room, or a home theater hub, follow these steps to achieve optimal performance and compatibility.
- Plan your layout by identifying which devices will act as sources (Blu-ray players, game consoles, PCs, streaming devices) and which display will receive the signal. Decide whether you will rely on automatic switching, or prefer control via RS-232 for a centralized automation system.
- Power down all connected devices to prevent EDID conflicts or transient signals during connections. This helps ensure clean, predictable routing once the switch is powered up.
- Connect each HDMI source to one of the four HDMI inputs on the switch using high-speed HDMI cables. Use shielded cables for longer runs to maintain signal integrity.
- Connect the switch’s HDMI output to your display or projector with another HDMI cable. If you are using a downstream AV processor or receiver, connect to the appropriate HDMI input on that device instead, depending on your setup.
- Attach the external power adapter to the switch and plug it into a reliable power source. If your installation supports it and the model provides, ensure the switch is powered on before the displays so EDID negotiation can occur properly at startup.
- Turn on the display first, then power on the HDMI sources. The switch will automatically sense the active input and route it to the display with minimal latency; if you need to change sources manually, use an RS-232 control command or a compatible control system to select the desired input.
- If you encounter any resolution or color timing issues, use the EDID management options to force a preferred resolution or color format. This helps ensure consistent output across all connected devices, particularly in mixed-content environments.
- Test the setup with each source to confirm clean video and audio pass-through. Check for smooth transitions, verify that HDR content is displayed correctly, and confirm that any audio formats are properly synchronized with the display or receiver.

Perfect for Adding Privacy to a Piano Studio
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
I Ordered the 2 Panel version which is way too big for my needs... that's on me. So keep in mind that the picture shows a fabric made for two panels only being used on one and hence it is not pulled tight; it would pull tight and not be so wrinkly if it was set up properly as two panels. The metal pools that make up the panels seem to be well made, stable, and of good quality. They were very easy to put together and they stand up tall with plenty of height. The appearance of it with the fabric on it isn't as elegant as it could be, but it still looks good enough. The material is plenty solid, not allowing light through it, and thereby making a solid barrier. I am using it to block the view out the studio door when a student is sitting at the piano to avoid distractions from the hallway. It will allow a student to enter the studio with our distracting the student who is at the piano.

Room Divider That Gives Instant “This Is a Separate Space Now” Energy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin 3 Panel Folding Privacy Screen is surprisingly effective at changing the feel of a room without requiring construction, commitment, or somebody yelling about load bearing walls. The 12 foot width gives a substantial amount of coverage, making it useful for creating privacy, dividing open areas, blocking visual clutter, or setting up temporary sections within larger rooms. This saved us a ton of time and money in our new studio and enabled us to create a kitchen and office in one room.
The wider feet make a huge difference because flimsy room dividers that collapse every time someone exhales too aggressively are deeply annoying. This one feels more stable and grounded once positioned. The folding design makes it easy to move around or adjust depending on the space, and it folds down relatively compactly when not in use. It is basically the introvert curtain wall of dreams.
The material has a clean, neutral look that blends well into different room styles without screaming “temporary office cubicle panic.” It works well for apartments, studios, shared spaces, dressing areas, or simply hiding the mountain of chaos you swear you are going to organize tomorrow. Practical, portable, and refreshingly easy to use without turning setup into a three hour emotional event.

It's 2 panels holding 1 big privacy screen. Can't use as 2 separate 4' panels, but works great.
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This 2 panel privacy screen works well. Assembly was very straight forward, with easily labeled tubes. My son and I had it together in about 10 minutes, which was probably 3 minutes of me telling him to quit playing around and hand me the parts. It feels very sturdy, not likely to fall over or anything. The material fits well, with the Velcro being very strong. Measurements are all very accurate, with all pieces attaching properly. We have a similar privacy screen at work that we have to try and stretch out because the top and bottom Velcro doesn't fit quite right... this model does not have any issues though. The material is thin and light weight, but solid black so that you can't see anything through or behind it. I definitely think it's a great deal for the money.
What I think would have given it 5 stars though, is if you had 2 totally separate 4' panels instead of 2 panels with one big screen. It really wouldn't cost any extra to make it so that the screen was in 2 pieces and you could use it as 2 separate panels instead of having to use it as one big panel. It says 2 panel folding privacy screens, but it's really one big one that folds in the middle.

Worth the investment
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I had to order this in an emergency. To put it in brief words, I live in a two level studio unit. My bedroom TV fell backwards off the bureau accidentally and down the stairs to its demise. Putting this together was no problem, instructions were thorough and easy. It came with several bars that connected together smoothly and an Allen key for the brackets and screws for the feet. I did one less horizontal bar on top and bottom so it could fit, which was great because with all of them on it was too long. However I ran into the difficulty of the horizontal bars popping out of the brackets during the last stages, but eventually got it done. I was also looking for a specific type of divider where I could adjust the feet so I could tuck it in between the dresser and banister. Glad I made this purchase.

You Get What You Pay For! A Piece Of Junk!
Size: 1 Panel
Flimsy and a piece of junk. Don’t waste your money. Assembly is a pain because it is so flimsy. Divider is thin. You can see right through it. Very wobbly.
