Jansicotek OZ8Q2B 2×1 HDMI 2.1 Switch

The Jansicotek OZ8Q2B is a directional HDMI 2.1 switch that routes video and audio from two HDMI sources to a single display. It supports resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 120 Hz, 2K at 144 Hz, and 1080p at 240 Hz with a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbps. A mechanical button on the aluminium alloy chassis selects the active input without unplugging cables. The unit requires the included DC 5 V power cable for operation.

Suited for dual-source single-display setups

This switch suits users who connect two HDMI devices such as a games console and a streaming stick to one monitor or TV and want to swap between them instantly. It is backward compatible with HDMI 2.0b, 2.0a, 2.0 and 1.4 sources and displays. Buyers who need to view both sources simultaneously, or who require automatic switching without pressing a button, should look at a different product type. The switch does not split one source to two displays.

48 Gbps bandwidth enables 8K 60 Hz

The single specification that decides fit is the 48 Gbps bandwidth rating, which is the full HDMI 2.1 fixed-rate link speed. This bandwidth carries 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz without compression. If the installed HDMI cables or the source and sink devices do not support 48 Gbps, the switch will negotiate a lower rate and the highest resolutions will not be available.
