3-port HDMI switch

HDMI™ Switch 3x HDMI Input to 1x HDMI Output – HDMI™ 2.1 – 8K@60Hz This HDMI™ switch is designed for connecting multiple HDMI™ source devices to a single HDMI™ display. The device allows switching between three HDMI™ inputs to one HDMI™ output. Only one HDMI™ source is active at any time. HDMI Inputs The HDMI™ switch features 3x HDMI-A female inputs. These inputs can connect HDMI™ source devices that provide a digital audio and video signal, such as game consoles, media players, or computers with HDMI™ output. HDMI Output The HDMI™ output consists of 1x HDMI-A female connection. This output sends the selected audio and video signal to a television, monitor, or projector with an HDMI™ input. Image and Video Support The HDMI™ switch supports image resolutions up to 7680 × 4320 @ 60 Hz (8K UHD). Additionally, 3840 × 2160 is supported with higher refresh rates, depending on the source device and display. The maximum bandwidth is 48 Gbit/s, consistent with the HDMI™ 2.1 standard. HDMI Standard HDMI™ 2.1 – Ultra High Speed with support for high resolutions, high refresh rates, and extended signal capacity. Color and Image Formats Supports RGB and YCbCr color formats. Color encodings such as YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 are passed through depending on resolution, refresh rate, and available bandwidth. Support for increased color depth is possible within the HDMI™ 2.1 specification. HDR Support HDR signals are supported and passed through. The HDR signal is transmitted unchanged from source to display without modification by the switch. Audio Support Supports digital audio transmission via HDMI™, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Audio and video are combined and transmitted via the same HDMI™ connection. Gaming-related Features Supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate with compatible source devices and displays. Signal Processing and Compatibility The HDMI™ switch operates with transparent signal passthrough without image scaling or resolution conversion. EDID communication is automatically applied for correct synchronization of resolution and color settings between source and display. HDCP-protected content is supported if source and display allow it. CEC signals are passed through. Control and Signal Management The HDMI™ switch supports automatic source detection and manual selection via a push button on the device or via an infrared remote control. LED indicators show which HDMI™ input is active. Signal Direction Unidirectional. HDMI™ signals are switched from source to display. Power Supply The device is powered via USB (DC 5 V) with a Micro-USB connection. If no free USB-A port is available, an external USB power supply can be used. Design The casing is made of metal. The compact design is suitable for fixed placement and features LED status indicators.
