Multiple HDMI Switch Repercussions

[BakaBox]

Hi,

 

I have recently made the switch to gaming on a monitor for choice titles (FPS) when it comes down to console gaming.

I do however still enjoy playing more casual games on my larger TV as I can just laze around my bed/couch.

Having to constantly change my cords is becoming a hassle with the multiple systems I own.

 

My questions is, would there be any increased latency / input delay when using multiple switches as seen below;

 

I looked into HDMI gauges and bought appropriate ones for their length and all the switches I will be using will be powered.

 

Thanks,

Its all electrical to me. All a switch does is change the direction of where the electrical signals end up. Since there is no "processing" of data or data conversion there should be no latency aside from the length if the cord but electrical signals travel... Im guessing near the speed of light so it won't matter

@Zeruel - Thanks for the reply, I did sum research regarding HDMI gauges, hopefully the new longer ones I ordered do just fine (50 ft)
