Ultra HD HDMI 2.1 8K Switch — Key benefits and what it solves Upgrade to HDMI 2.1 performance: supports up to 8K at 30/60Hz, 4K at 60/120Hz, and 2K at 144Hz with up to 48 Gbps bandwidth. Delivers clearer, smoother video and higher frame rates for gaming, streaming, and professional use. Simplifies multiple-device setups: switch between two HDMI sources or route one source to two displays without changing cables. Reliable compatibility: backward compatible with earlier HDMI standards so existing devices work without adjustments. Reduces cable swapping and input conflicts: the physical Select button lets you change active source quickly for efficient workflow and tidy cable management. Features and important details Supported resolutions and bandwidth: 8K@30/60Hz, 4K@60/120Hz, 2K@144Hz, up to 48 Gbps transfer. Bi-directional operation: can function as either a 2-in-1-out switch (select between two sources to one display) or a 1-in-2-out switch (route one source to one of two displays). Note: it cannot output to two displays simultaneously. Simple control: single “Select” button toggles the active HDMI source—no drivers or software required. Compatibility: works with HDMI 2.1 and earlier HDMI devices (TVs, monitors, consoles, PCs, AV receivers, streaming boxes). Cables and power: HDMI cable not included. Use a high-quality HDMI cable no longer than 3 meters to avoid image interference. For the most stable display, connect external power to the switch when available. Practical use scenarios Home entertainment: Connect a gaming console and a streaming box to one TV and switch instantly between sources without re-plugging cables. Hybrid work/office setup: Share a single monitor between a laptop and a desktop PC, switching inputs with one button during meetings or work sessions. Single-source routing: Send one media player to either a living-room TV or a secondary monitor (only one display active at a time), useful for presentations or switching viewing locations. What to expect Easy installation and operation with a physical Select button. High-bandwidth performance for high-resolution, high-frame-rate content when paired with quality HDMI cables and power. Backward compatibility to protect existing devices and content formats. Note: HDMI cable and any external power adapter are not included. Use a suitable, high-quality HDMI cable (max 3 m) to minimize interference and consider powering the switch for the most stable results.
