How did we get our start?
In 2004, KVM technology was only an enterprise-level solution for engineering projects. As a senior engineer at a leading A/V company, Mars realized that KVM technology could create greater value for more people."Why don't we make a consumer-grade KVM?" Then we started.
Why do we love what we do?
After more than 20 years of development, our products have been approved by more than 5000000 users in over 100 countries. In their homes and offices, our KVM switches, matrices and extender are changing the way they live and work, and making their work more efficient.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This is a review of the 8-port switch labeled "4k@30".
This switch is primarily aimed at the professional integrator market as it comes with rack mount hardware, an IR extension and options for controlling the switch via IR, RS232 or Ethernet. Provided you have the space, it also works great in a non-pro level home theater setup as well.
The switch comes very safely packed and in addition to the IR extension and rack mounting hardware, it also comes with an IR remote.
Out of the box, the switch is configured to automatically switch inputs whenever it detects a source has been powered on so in that sense it's plug-and-play. However you may want to adjust its behavior a little. For one thing it emits an annoying loud beep whenever it switches sources.
To adjust the switch you'll need a laptop running Windows and an Ethernet cable. They don't exactly go out of their way to tell you where the software is, but you should find it if you go to http://www.tesla-smart.com/Downloads and look for the link labeled "HSW0801AXX application for Windows XP/7/8/10". The switch uses a default IP of 192.168.1.10 so you'll need to plug the Ethernet cable into the front panel of the switch and your laptop and set your Ethernet card's IPv4 settings to some other address in that subnet (i.e. 192.168.1.9) and subnet mask to class C (255.255.255.0), then run the software. Switch the software to "Ethernet" (it may be called "Network" - I don't have it right in front of me) and tell it to find the switch. From there you'll be able to disable the beep, turn auto-switching off or on, and set the input display to shut off after a short timeout.
One major drawback of this switch is the exceedingly bright blue LED display. I consider a serious design flaw that there are not controls to lower the brightness. If you're using this switch somewhere in your eye line I would strongly suggest investing in some dimming stickers to take the edge off those LEDs.
The switch is listed as supporting 4k@30 content, but in practice I was able to run 4k@60 content through it without any apparent issues. My guess is that the chips being used to handle switching are only rated for 4k@30 but not artificially limited to it.
I've had no issues using advanced functionality like CEC through this switch.
EDID works flawlessly - even with devices that fail on other switches.
Each input has its own button on the front panel, and of course the remote has a corresponding button for each input.
The remote control is minimal and, in my opinion, not really essential. Most setups are going to rely on auto-switching which works flawlessly in my experience. The only time you're likely to be switching deliberately between different inputs is if you're using some kind of automation like a Harmony remote. (The TESmart switches are all in the Harmony database, BTW).
You should be aware that this switch does NOT support HDMI 2.1, but to my knowledge no switches do right now. If not for this I would say this is likely the last HDMI switch you'll ever need to buy.
Final thoughts:
This thing is expensive but worth every penny. I have a cardboard box filled with a literal dozen $10 to $30 3-6 port HDMI switches that I've had to remove from my setups over the years because they flaked out, never worked right with certain features, didn't have enough ports etc... If I had just bought one of these in the first place I would have actually saved money. If you need more ports than your TV or AVR provides, getting this TESmart is a no-brainer. If you think there's even a chance you might one day exceed the 8 inputs on this switch (like say if you had an extensive collection of game consoles for example), I absolutely recommend going for the 16x version of this switch - you will not regret it.
Pros:
- Professional Grade
- Reliable
- Auto-switching
- Configurable
- Supports HDCP 2.2
- Supports EDID
- Supports CEC
- Ready out of the box
- More compatible than any other switch I've tested
- Supports 4k (Actually works with 4k@60, though it's not rated for it)
Cons:
- Configuration requires a laptop and software (though the software is freely available)
- Eye-piercingly bright LCD display
- By default emits an annoyingly loud beep whenever sources are switched
I got a replacement from the manufacturer and auto-switch works correctly. Must have been a bad unit. Overaly very happy with this unit.
Original review:
This is one of the only 16-port HDMI switches on the market. Per the Amazon product page, it includes "Automatic input detection and switching." I take this to mean that when powering on a connected HDMI device, the switch will automatically change to that input. This does not work for me. It's also not clear whether the switch actually includes this feature or not. While the feature is listed on the Amazon page, the manufacturer's website only lists the time-based auto-scan feature. TESmart offers a download package that includes a PC Control app. This app has a button to turn this feature on an off. The included PDF describes this feature as:
Auto input detect on:
When plug new HDMI input source to the switch or power on the HDMI input source, the switch will
automatically select the input port that is connected to this input source.
When unplug or power off the HDMI input source, the switch will switch to the input port which is last plug
in or last powered on HDMI input source.
This is exactly what I want but it does not work even after using the app to enable it. I have the app set up correctly as I can change other settings such as the muting the input change beep. I can also use it to change inputs.
I should note that these other settings do not appear to be retained through a power loss.
Adding to the further confusion as to the existence of this feature, there is a second PDF included in the PC Control app download. It is just an API documentation on the RS232 and IP Control hex commands you can send to control the switch. This is a great thing to include but I couldn't help notice that the automatic input detection and switching is not listed in this document.
I have emailed TESmart support and will update this review if they can help.
