How to use

Connect up to three HDMI source devices to the switcher's input ports and connect the output port to your display using an HDMI cable. Power the unit if an external power adapter is required and select the active input using the switcher's control (button or remote, depending on model). Ensure connected devices and the display are set to compatible resolution and refresh rate settings to achieve the best image quality. When switching sources, allow a few seconds for the display and source device to handshake and negotiate the video signal.

Recommendations

Use high-quality HDMI cables rated for the desired resolution and bandwidth to ensure reliable 8K@60Hz performance. Place the switcher where ventilation is adequate and avoid tightly enclosed spaces. If you encounter handshake or resolution detection issues, cycle power on the switcher and attached devices, and confirm each device's HDMI output settings match the display capabilities.
