Monoprice Blackbird 4K60 Video Switcher with HDMI Plus Audio Extraction (B-STOCK)

4x1 4K60 HDMI Video Switcher with HDR and Audio Extraction

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K60 Video Switcher is a 4x1 HDMI switching solution designed to connect up to four HDMI source devices to a single HDMI display. Built for AV systems that need centralized source selection, it supports professional presentation, video distribution, display, and multimedia environments using multiple HDMI devices.

The Blackbird switcher supports video resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz, including 1080p at 60 Hz and 3D video modes. HDR, HDCP 2.2, and YCbCr 4:4:4 support provide compatibility with high-resolution HDMI video workflows and help preserve detailed color information from supported sources through the connected display system.

Integrated audio extraction allows audio from the selected HDMI source to be separated through the combined 3.5 mm analog stereo and mini Toslink digital optical audio connection. This provides additional integration flexibility for systems that need to route video to a display while sending extracted audio to separate compatible audio equipment.

The 4x1 architecture simplifies systems using several HDMI sources with a single display. An included remote provides an additional source-selection option for day-to-day system operation.

System Integration

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K60 Video Switcher fits into an HDMI video system between multiple source devices and a single display. Up to four HDMI sources can connect to the switcher, with the selected source routed to the connected HDMI display. Integrated audio extraction provides an additional path for connecting compatible analog stereo or mini Toslink optical audio equipment.

Broadcast Workflow Benefits

AV systems with multiple HDMI sources can become difficult to operate when users repeatedly change cables at the display. The Blackbird 4K60 switcher centralizes four source connections and provides source selection from one switching device. Audio extraction also helps support workflows where the display and audio system require separate signal paths.
