Search for a Managed HDMI Switch
I really don't know if such a thing actually exists but I thought I'd ask the community since if it exists it appears to be a rarity.
Basically I'm looking for a Small HDMI switch that I can assign a static IP to remotely switch it.
The closest thing that I have found is this Net Media Net Media iHDMI 4x1 Auto Sensing HDMI Switch with RS232 HDMI Switchers at Markertek.com but its only over RS-232.

There are actually a few products like that - I like Slingbox - Slingbox.com - Turn Your Laptop, Smartphone or Tablet into a TV because of it's cost and flexibility. The Crestron product is suppose to be decent - we have some of their stuff - Product: HD-MD8X2 - QuickSwitch HD® 8x2 HDMI® Switcher [Crestron Electronics, Inc.] -

Yeah - a lot of the Crestron products can be fully integrated into your network so you can get reports, control the lights, all your audio/video, etc. And all remotely accessible.
I forgot to mention - whatever you choose - don't forget that you may need a HD scaler. The QuickSwitch has one as an option. One of the reasons why it may be a a better deal.
