Meet the 5x1 HDMI Switcher with 4K Support — the compact, high‑performance hub your home theater needs when multiple sources compete for a single display. Five input sources, one clean output, and a design that respects design aesthetics and signal integrity alike.

Why this 5x1 HDMI Switcher stands out

  • Crystal‑clear 4K and broad compatibility: Supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, plus Full HD 1080p and 1920x1200. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or playing Blu‑ray, you’ll get sharp detail and smooth motion on your TV or projector.
  • HDMI 1.4a with robust video & audio: High Speed HDMI signaling (2.95 Gbps per channel) with Deep Color, lip‑sync, and lossless audio formats. Works seamlessly with Dolby TrueHD, DTS‑HD Master Audio 7.1ch, LPCM, and standard digital formats like Dolby Digital and DTS.
  • HDCP/EDID compliant for peace of mind: Maintains copy‑protection and device compatibility across your connected sources and displays, so you won’t encounter handshake issues when switching inputs.
  • Flexible control for easy daily use: Switch inputs via a tactile front‑panel button or the included IR remote. An IR receive port and IR extend cable are included for flexible placement—perfect for hidden racks or media cabinets.
  • Ultra‑low power with practical powering options: Ultra‑low power draw (0.2W) keeps clutter minimal. The unit ships with a 5V USB to DC power cable, allowing powering from a common USB adapter—so no bulky power brick is required in most setups.
  • Front‑panel visibility and compact footprint: Front LEDs clearly indicate active input/output status, so you always know which source is feeding your display. The unit’s compact dimensions (3.0" W x 2.0" D x 1.70" H) fit neatly on a shelf or entertainment center without crowding other gear.
  • Solid, purpose‑built for modern living rooms: Perfect for Home Theater setups that require multiple switching, conference rooms, or any space where several HDMI sources need to share a single display while preserving audio/video quality.

What you get and how it helps your setup

  • Clean, centralized switching: Route five different HDMI sources — Blu‑ray players, game consoles, streaming boxes, PC displays, or AV receivers — through a single output to your TV or projector. Perfect when your living room hosts multiple devices but you want a single, clean display path.
  • Effortless day‑to‑day use: Choose your active source with a single press on the front panel or with the included IR remote. The IR extend cable lets you position the remote where you sit, not where the switch sits.
  • Future‑proofed today: 4K at 30Hz support ensures compatibility with current 4K sources and displays while maintaining robust 1080p performance for legacy devices.
  • Reliable playback for a range of content: From immersive Blu‑ray streams to game titles and 4K demos, the device preserves lip‑sync and audio fidelity through Dolby TrueHD and DTS‑HD Master Audio, plus HDR‑less Deep Color for richer, more natural tones.
  • Compact, quiet, and easy to install: Ultra‑compact housing fits into tight spaces without adding heat or fan noise, while the included power cable keeps setup clean and simple.

Ideal for

  • Home theaters and media rooms with multiple HD sources
  • Student apartments or dorm lounges needing flexible source switching
  • Small meeting rooms or home offices where a single display should serve several inputs
