Answers.Text: That specific device also takes a few seconds to switch, but as you stated, it will not disconnect from the beamer in the meanwhile. That looks much better now, thanks!

Body: <p>I need to switch between two or three HDMI signals (1080p is sufficient) for a video stream to a beamer. For example, I would like have a presentation coming from a laptop, and one or two cameras and then switch between those devices as fast as possible.</p>

  You could try it with a device like [that one](https://www.techly.com/5-in-1-out-hdmi-switch-with-remote-control-4kx2k-3d.html). It takes the responsibility on the HDCP-negotiation for you, what should be what you are looking for.
