Will this switch work as a single input, and switch between monitors?
A shopper
on Apr 1, 2017
BEST ANSWER: This will only support one output so no you cannot switch between monitors. You need to look for a switch that says 2x2, 4x2, 2x4, etc. depending on your requirements.

I have it hooked into a Xbox one S and a PS4. From there it runs into an Elgato HD60S capture device. Everything works great! The only thing I haven’t tested is 4K because I’m capturing in 1080P at 60FPS. I am pretty sure it will run everything in 4K but not fully positive. Hope this info helps.

Settings for PS4 Pro: use 4K YUV420 as display. For Xbox One S: start in 1080p mode (very important or you may get a black screen if you start on 4K), then change colour depth to 10-bit, set tv connection to auto-detect, then allow 24 hz, allow 50 hz, allow HDR, and finally allow 4K. After all those steps, it will display 4K and HDR no issues (all check marks!). Hope this helps!

Can I use this as a HDCP Converter 2.2 to 1.4?
A shopper
on Dec 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, that's exactly how I'm using it right now. I have mine hooked to a 32in Sammy that has only 1 HDMI v1.4 port on it and have a Sammy Bluray & a Joey 4K driving this switch, which works very well. Love the switch works great and you can use the remote to switch inputs or the button on the front of the switch. There could be one other issue for you on this switch that I haven't addressed here and that is HDR, will it down scale the color depth and hand-shaking between devices required under HDCP v2.2? I haven't hooked up my UHD Player to this switch as of yet so I can't verify that this for you whether or not it will work, but I'll try to do so and get back on this.

For those with a Samsung 4K TV and PS4 Pro with no picture? Go into picture settings and turn off UHD color. You will now get a picture. This will disable HDR however.. I am not sure why this works no problem with the Xbox One S but the PS4 seems to have an Issue. Frustrating to say the least.

BEST ANSWER: All units in line must be HDCP 2.2 compliant in order to transfer a 4k signal. If one unit does not have 2.2, then the signal out to the TV or Projector will be 1080 P.
I had the same issue with a Denon AVR-X4100W which only had 2.0, and had to upgrade to the AVR-X4300H (or the AVR-X4200W) to get the 2.2 circuit "completion"
Hope this helps.

That's what I read and was hoping the converter would do the trick, very disappointed that I have to bypass the AVR using an optical cord for digital sound :/ thank you for your help, looks like I have to upgrade yet again! :(
well if it is any consolation, the Denon models are mostly on sale now. Unless you are going full blown 11.1 or bigger the 4300h should do the trick. That is what I am using for my 7.1 system and atmos sound. AND if I want to go further I can use my old amp as a pre- amp.
Good luck with your system!

Worked with 4k 4:2:0 but not 1080p Nintendo Switch?
The good: it appears to be working fine with a 4k Apple TV and PS4 Pro (both set to 4:2:0).
The bad: for some reason I had severe trouble using it with a docked Nintendo Switch, which shocks me because it tops out at 1080p. It worked if I powered off the HDMI switch, had the Nintendo Switch on, and powered the HDMI switch back on. But once I swapped to another source I could never get back to the Nintendo Switch.
It seems to work OK when swapping between identical source stream types, but swapping between one source at 1080p and another at 4k seems to break it for some reason. Which sucks because now I'm running one of my 4k devices lower than I wanted and the Nintendo Switch is taking up a full speed 4k input on the TV.
You'd think 1080p is a low bar to expect for a device that supports 4k.

Which sucks because now I'm running one of my 4k devices lower than I wanted and the Nintendo Switch is taking up a full speed 4k input on the TV.
You'd think 1080p is a low bar to expect for a device that supports 4k.

Great mini switcher
If you have a television that only has one HDMI port and you need to connect a Blu-ray player and Amazon fire stick and a third satellite source this makes it really simple it really works well it’s simple small and mountable to the back of the TV I actually attached mine to the VESA mount on the back of the TV

Works Great - Doesn't Support HDR or 18Gbps
Monoprice needs to update the page to indicate that this switch doesn't support bandwidth higher than 10.2Gbps.
My story is as follows
I purchased a Razer Ripsaw HD to record gameplay from both my Xbox One X and my Nintendo Switch. I have a Yamaha RX-v383 home theater (supports 18Gbps and HDR) and a 4K HDR TV. I attempted to use my Yamaha as a game hub of sorts and route my games through it and then to the TV. This did not work for my Xbox and I had no sound to my laptop for my Switch (which did get video to the PC and TV). So I bought two blackbird 18Gbps splitters which are working as advertised and I purchased this switch because it was listed as HDR and 18Gbps
I connected each console to their own splitter, then one output each to the switch (that went to the Ripsaw) and the other outputs to my Yamaha (so I could get my lovely surround sound and keep my HDR as the Ripsaw doesn't support HDR).
I discovered that I can get video through the switch from the Xbox as long as it's not HDR. Meaning basically the menu screens only. When I attempt to launch a game, I get a black screen and no sound. Which indicates to me that this is a bandwidth issue and the switch doesn't support 18Gbps/HDR as indicated by the documentation that came with it.

Apple Products are Incompatible
It appears from my testing that this Blackbird product cannot process an video feed from Apple Iphones.

Works for 4K, but not 60Hz from PC
I replaced everything in the line from my PC to my monitor to narrow down the cause. All new cables and replaced my old 4k monitor. I had to directly connect my PC to the monitor for it to support 60Hz.
If you read the description very well, it does say that it will do 60Hz, but only under the right conditions (12-bit color). Worked well, but not what I needed.

Cure the hdcp problem
I bought it to use my cable box through the HDMI cable. My TV turned off the port with hdcp. This defeats the hdcp problem
