Gefen also announced a much more straight forward HDMI switch today called the 4×1 Gefen tv Switcher. As the name implies, the switch accepts four HDMI inputs, has one HDMI output and sells for $199 (again, a bit steep). The device has auto switching capability which basically means if it detects an input device is powered on, it will switch to that device. If the device powers off, it will switch to the previous input it was at. The switch supports up to 1080p resolutions and includes an IR remote control.
