Four HDMI 2.1 sources to one display

Connect four HDMI sources to a single HDMI display with support up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz. The switch handles 48Gbps bandwidth and passes HDR10+ video alongside Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X audio formats. It is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0 and lower resolutions.

Auto or manual switching with remote

Automatic switching selects the latest active source while a front push-button and included infrared remote provide manual control. The unit draws power from any 5V 1A USB port or the supplied USB wall charger with a 78cm Micro-B cable. Buyers who need more than four inputs or require multiple simultaneous outputs should look at a matrix switcher instead.

48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which enables 8K 60Hz, 4K 120Hz, variable refresh rate, auto low-latency mode, CEC and HDCP 2.3. If the source or display cannot negotiate this bandwidth the switch will fall back to lower modes but cannot exceed its rated throughput.

Questions about this item

Which version of this switch should I choose for four 8K sources?

The single 4-port model handles four HDMI 2.1 inputs at up to 8K 60Hz or 4K 144Hz, so one unit covers all four sources.

What does the 48 Gbps bandwidth mean when I connect a console and a PC?

It carries the full HDMI 2.1 data rate, allowing 8K 60Hz, 4K 120Hz, variable refresh rate, auto low-latency mode and 7.1-channel audio without compression.

Does the HDMI 2.1 interface limit HDR or audio formats in practice?

The switch passes HDR10+, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X, and supports HDCP 2.3, 2.2 and 1.4, so no common format is capped.
