2-Port HDMI 2.0b Switch with Audio Extraction

This SMUGDESK switch routes two HDMI sources to a single display while extracting the audio signal to three separate outputs. It handles 4K video at 60 Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.2 compliance. An IR remote and a front-panel button both change the active input instantly. The unit is built with multi-layer anti-interference circuitry for stable, synchronised transmission.

Home-theatre users needing optical.

Buyers who want to connect more than two sources or require audio formats beyond 5.1-channel surround should look elsewhere. The switch only accepts two HDMI inputs and extracts stereo or 5.1 audio; it cannot mix or pass through higher-channel layouts. Users without an external sound system will not benefit from the independent audio outputs.

HDMI 2.0b 18 Gbps bandwidth for 4K 60 Hz

The 18 Gbps link determines whether your source and display can run 4K at 60 Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.2. If your equipment needs higher bandwidth for 8K or elevated refresh rates, this switch will not support those modes. All three audio outputs derive their signal from the same HDMI stream, so the chosen video resolution and format dictate the available audio extraction.
