2 Ports Bi-directional HDMI Switch

My home cinema system has to cater for (1) a 3D full HD TV, as I love my 3D, and (2) a 4K monitor as I love my Xbox One X. Previously these have been connected directly to their sources, requiring an optical cable to get sound out of the Xbox to my receiver.I have recently upgraded to a 2.0b HDMI-rated receiver with multi HDMI inputs, which gave me the opportunity to set up permanent connections to both TVs - but in order to do that I needed to be able to switch the HDMI output from the receiver. And that switch needed to pass 4K at 60Hz.Now: it is relatively simple to get 1.4 HDMI switches, and relatively simple to get switches that support two inputs to one output - but it is a rare beast indeed that on the one hand enables two outputs from one input, and on the other also supports 4K at 60Hz, and by the nature of rare beasts those that exist are mostly - let us say - rather expensive.So I took a punt on this Portta bi-directional switch - and when I say I took a punt I mean because the spec does not say 2.0b HDMI, though it claims 4K at 60Hz, and normally those two go together.I needn't have worried. My system is up and running, with 2.0b HDMI cables feeding into the switch and out to the 4K monitor, so the whole route has the potential to pass 4K at 60Hz - and indeed it does. I can switch happily between the destination screens and the monitor tells me that it is being driven at 60Hz.Good for your Portta - a switch that does this hi-spec work, and at an affordable price.

After looking for a suitable switch to fix this issue for over a year, this is the only 1 that I've bought that has actually done the job. I ran a high quality 0.5m HDMI cable from the side with 1 port to the PS4 Pro, then from the side with 2 ports, I ran the 2m HDMI cable which came with the PS4 Pro to the TV from port 1, and from port 2, I ran one of the HDMI cables which came with the PSVR to the PS4 HDMI port on the PSVR receiver.Initially, I was ecstatic seeing that all resolutions were supported on my PS4 Pro through the switch, and the output was 2160p @ 60HZ with HDR enabled. However, after about a minute of using it, I began to get screen blackouts for about 2 seconds before it would come back on again for a short time, then it happened again. When gaming, this is impossible to work with and it is very annoying so I thought I had failed to find a suitable switch yet again. That wasn't the case.IF YOU EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THIS, DO THIS: it turns out the automatic resolution option on the PS4 is actually kind of broke and it doesn't do its job at all. It defaults to 2160p RGB which actually requires around 26Gbps of bandwidth on a HDMI cable and through the switch to run without issues. This isn't actually possible over a HDMI 2.0 cable so even without the switch you will experience very occasional blackouts, which I did, about once every 2 hours prior to buying the switch and changing this setting. On the PS4 navigate to Settings>Sound & Screen>Video Output Settings>Adjust Resolution and select the 2160p YUV420 option, I kept every other setting to automatic but you can change those however you like without any issues. YUV420 works perfectly over HDMI and is actually recommended over RGB for viewing HDR 10 content. Since switching this issue, I have not suffered any screen blackouts or issues related to HDMI cables or the switch.I can't believe I finally found a working solution for the HDR pass through problem, and if you, like me, can't swap out the cable each time you want to play VR as the console is in an awkward position, then definitely go ahead and purchase this switch, then follow the steps I wrote above.I highly recommend this product.

Used this for connecting a sky box and a ps3 to one TV. The old splitter I had would not support the HDCP 2.2 DRM which the sky box needs. Only downside is it doesn't auto switch to the device you are using.

Excellent piece of kit, can confirm it works as a switcher between a 4K PS Pro and the VR headset. Other comments have mentioned getting the correct HDMI cables and that is critical. I tried several high quality 18GB HDMI cables and experienced blackouts and screen flickering. What worked for me was 8K HDMI cables, certified up to 48GB. They work perfectly and were not expensive on Amazon. Keep the cables as short as possible and it will work. I use half metre from ps4 to switch and half metre from switch to amp (denon amp with 4k hdr passthrough). I then use 1 metre from denon amp to TV. Been absolutely flawless with this setup. The hdmi cable you use from switch to VR box , then back to TV is not too important. Be aware you need 2 hdmi inputs on TV for this solution to work
