Overview
- The mbeat 8K Bi-Directional HDMI 2.1 Switch is a compact, flexible connectivity solution for environments where multiple HDMI sources or displays need to be managed. It allows you to either switch between two sources feeding one display, or route a single source to two separate displays—ideal for dynamic AV setups.
Built with durable aluminium construction and featuring HDMI 2.1 compatibility, it supports high-resolution video up to 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz/120Hz/60Hz, and 1080P@240Hz. The USB-C power input ensures stable signal transmission, even when HDMI ports cannot provide sufficient power.
With plug-and-play operation and no external drivers needed, the switch integrates seamlessly into existing AV ecosystems. It works with a wide range of devices including gaming consoles (PS5, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series X/S), streaming devices (Apple TV, Fire Stick, Roku), and professional displays (TVs, projectors, monitors).
Note: When functioning as a 1-input to 2-output splitter, only one display can show video at a time.
