Monoprice Blackbird 4K60 Video Switcher with HDMI plus Audio Extraction, Supports HDR, HDCP 2.2, YCbCr 4:4:4 - B-Stock

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K60 Video Switcher streamlines multi-source home theater and pro-AV setups with reliable 4x1 HDMI switching and integrated audio extraction. Compliant with HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2/1.4, it passes video up to 4K@60Hz YCbCr 4:4:4 at 18Gbps while supporting HDR formats. Four HDMI inputs feed a single HDMI output, and audio can be de-embedded to a combined 3.5mm jack that supports both analog stereo and mini Toslink optical (adapter included). Front-panel status LEDs and an IR remote simplify control, while onboard EDID management (Auto/2.1/5.1/7.1) helps ensure a clean handshake across TVs, projectors, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. For integration, you also get RS-232 control and a plug-in IR receiver for hidden installs. The switch supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC) when enabled, giving you flexible routing for TV apps back to your speakers or AVR. Housed in a low-profile metal chassis measuring 7.1 x 3.3 x 0.5 in and weighing 10.6 oz, the Blackbird fits neatly into tight spaces and media cabinets. Whether you’re consolidating a console stack, juggling set-top boxes, or feeding a conference-room display, this Monoprice Blackbird switch delivers dependable 4K60 HDMI performance with audio break-out, HDR pass-through, and smart control options that play nicely with modern sources, soundbars, and AVRs—all without compromising signal fidelity.
