4K60 UHD Video Switch for Four Sources

The Monoprice 144555 Blackbird Pro-Sumer switch routes three HDMI inputs and one USB-C input to a single HDMI output. It handles 4K resolution at 60 Hz with YUV 4:4:4 colour sampling and 18 Gbps total bandwidth. HDR and 7.1 surround sound formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are supported. The unit weighs 1.08 and operates via plug-and-play.

Suited for Multi-Source Setups Not

This switch suits users who need to select between several computers, consoles or Thunderbolt devices on one screen. Automatic switching can be triggered by a long press or the dedicated AUTO button, while an IR remote provides distance control. Buyers who need to send one source to multiple displays simultaneously should look at a splitter instead.

18 Gbps Bandwidth Decides 4K60 Compatibility

The 6.0 Gbps per channel bandwidth (18 Gbps aggregate) is the specification that determines whether 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4 can be transmitted without compression. Sources and cables must also meet this throughput. If the connected devices only support lower bandwidth, the switch will pass the reduced signal but cannot upscale it.
