2-Port 4K HDMI Switch

The StarTech VS221HD4KA is a 2x1 HDMI automatic video switch that routes two sources to a single display at up to 4K 30 Hz. It uses a Microchip PIC24 chipset and complies with the HDMI 1.4 standard for reliable signal handling.

Ideal for dual-source setups

This switch suits users who need to toggle between two HDMI devices on one screen with fast switching and auto-sensing. It also provides RS-232 serial control via the included RJ11 to DB-9 adapter for integration. Buyers who require 4K at 60 Hz or more than two input ports should look at other solutions.

Remote, power and mounting included

The package supplies an IR remote control, a universal power adapter with NA/EU/UK/AU plugs, an RJ11 cable, a mounting kit and a quick start guide. These accessories enable desktop or rack placement, remote operation and serial automation without extra purchases.

Questions about this item

Which HDMI sources can I connect to the two 19-pin female inputs on this VS221HD4KA?

Any two HDMI source devices such as a media player, game console, or PC with an HDMI output can be plugged into the two 19-pin female ports on the switch.

Will my 1080p display work with the 4K 30 Hz output of this switch?

Yes, the switch is backward compatible with high-definition 1080p, so a 1080p display will receive a supported resolution from the HDMI output.

How do I confirm the switch is passing 4K 30 Hz and 7.1 surround sound to my display?

Check the display on-screen menu to verify it reports a 3840x2160 resolution at 30 Hz and that your audio receiver indicates a 7.1 surround sound signal.
