Two-Port 8K Switch

The StarTech 2PORT-HDMI-SWITCH-8K connects two HDMI sources to one display. It supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 144Hz or 120Hz. HDR10+ pass-through is included. Audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X are supported.

Gamers and Multi-Source Users

This switch suits users with a console and a PC sharing a high-refresh monitor. It also fits home-theatre setups needing 7.1-channel audio pass-through. Buyers who need more than two inputs should look at a larger matrix. The unit requires an external USB power source to operate.

Remote and Power Accessories

A handheld remote allows manual switching from a distance. Automatic switching selects the latest active source without user input. A USB wall charger and a 78cm Micro-B cable are bundled for power where a spare USB port is unavailable. Batteries for the remote are not supplied.

Questions about this item

What HDMI cables do I need to connect two sources and one display to the 2PORT-HDMI-SWITCH-8K?

You need three HDMI cables — one from each source into the two input ports and one from the single output port to your display.

Will my HDMI 2.0 graphics card and monitor still work through this switch at 4K 60Hz?

Yes, the switch is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0 devices and lower resolutions, so 4K 60Hz signals pass through normally.

How can I confirm the switch is passing an 8K 60Hz signal after I connect everything?

Check your display’s on-screen information menu — it should report 8K at 60Hz — and verify HDR10+ or Dolby Vision indicators appear when playing compatible content.
