FERRISA 4x2 HDMI Matrix Switch,4 in 2 Out Matrix HDMI Video Switcher Splitter +Optical & L/R Audio Output,Support Ultra HD 4K,3D 1080P,Audio EDID Extractor with IR Remote Control

I'm very familiar with HDMI matrix switches, having owned them for many, many years as a very heavy user of this particular type of equipment (family home, not professional setting). When my (different brand) original one died of old age, I bought a bargain box to replace it. We soon found that this bargain box had several problems, including failing to pass through audio on at least two separate sources, plus poor IR signal rejection from other remotes, and interfering codes that shut the box down. I searched for a new box and found THIS current Ferrisa switch.I am extremely pleased with the performance of this switch! It not only solves the problems of the cheap switch I bought, but it out-performs my old switch, as well. The box is dang-near perfect so far; I cannot find anything wrong with it, and there is a whole lot right with it. The box switches fast between sources, it switches reliably, it rejects other signals (which means that I can use it with my IR extender just perfectly!), and it passes through all signals with accuracy. I have two (2) completely different spec TVs connected to it (an LG traditional HDTV and a Sharp Roku HDTV), as well as four (4) varied HDMI sources (a TiVo, a DVD player, an Amazon FireStick, and a Google Chromecast). Audio is routed through the main TV path to a Bose box in one of the rooms and on-board in the other, but I could route audio from the switch if I wanted to -- a nice backup feature.The IR repeater I own lets me switch from both the living room and the kitchen, with the box receiving the IR repeater signal perfectly and responding immediately. The indicator lights on the box itself are bright enough to see, but not so bright that they interfere with viewing in a dark room, like some other boxes do. The on-board source switching buttons are a great backup to the remote, if I ever need to use them.Overall, I have to say that I'm really pleased with this switch! It was worth every penny, and I learned my lesson buying cheaper switches. The price point of this switch is very fair for what you get, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

This is a genuine product at a great price which works perfectly.Thank you.

The media could not be loaded. The HDMI matrix is essentially a screen cloner for 4 devices to 2 screens with 2 audio outputs (one for each output screen). It has 4 HDMI inputs, 2 HDMI outputs, 2 analog audio outputs and 2 optical audio outputs. On the front of the panel, there are 8 output LEDs (each designate which device is outputting on which display), one IR led for IR input from the remote control, a power LED, and 2 Key buttons. The housing is completely metal, steel, if I am not mistaken... very sturdy.I only used 3 displays but it was mainly because I only had 3 devices to display from, however, the outputs were up to 4K as listed. I used a 4K Roku, a laptop, and a desktop. I had one audio out via optical audio to a sound bar, and one audio out via HDMI. There were no issues with functionality with this device. Using the 3 devices, and the remote, I was able to easily switch between inputs and output their display on the respective screen and if that device outputting to the screen had audio, and the optical cable associated with that output was plugged in, the audio would play with no discernible impact to quality of the audio as it was completely digital. The instructions for the matrix came in quite handy as it tells you on the back which switches should be in which position to enable which features, so this is one device that takes the user manual seriously... DON'T THROW IT AWAY! This is not exactly user-friendly. Basic functionality is pretty simple and straight-forward, but there are many different specific settings that may leave you wondering why 3D didn't work, or why your outputs are not 4K... that's all in the user manual. That being said, setting it up with the user manual isn't difficult either, since the switches are either up or down, 1 or 2, so just pick what setting you want, see what the manual says it is, and set it.I see myself using this in my office, but not for dual monitor setup, more for entertainment purposes--setting up display for my server and Roku devices, maybe an input as a third display on my desktop for videos, etc. This did not recognize the two outputs as two separate monitors if you did not have two outputs from your computer into two separate inputs on the matrix, so don't get this thinking you can get dual monitor usage out of it, it's a screen cloner--sends one signal to two screens, like a presentation.The only criticism I would have really is the Output LEDs. When one LED lights up, the one immediately adjacent to it also lights up a bit. This doesn't take away from the fact that the one lighting up is MUCH brighter than the others, but it seems like a small oversight. I would place even a small barrier between the LEDs to prevent light leaking... it would not be a large expense for the manufacturer, and would result in a much cleaner-looking product.All-in-all, excellent product. And for $42, it's a good deal.

Bought this matrix for my son. I’m a semi retired home Automator. Used to AV Pro Edge matrix and distribution amps. Wanted to try out 1st, make certain it works. Currently have NVIDIA Shield Pro, Apple TV 4K, Sony PS5, and Fire TV. Connection was easy and intuitive. Had to reboot Fire TV (probably got confused). Able to display a 4K@120Hz on A9 OLED through PS5. While running Apple TV on another display. Usual 3 seconds to sort out EDID issues when switching (even my AV Pro Edge matrix does this (cost is 10X more, 24/7 Tech support, with overnight replacement if original fails, and finally: 10 year warranty). Read reviews about matrix being counterintuitive. Was not my experience. Power supply is about as cheesy as they get. Don’t anticipate it will last, but easy to replace. Didn’t try analog output, but Toslink outputs Dolby Digital. And pass through plays Dolby True Digital. All in all for the money; not bad.Edit…2 days out:1st day no issues. Second day; Issues. Matrix began losing sych when in distribution mode (one input into 2 displays, both 4K). Lost sync would occur ~ 20-30 minutes. Steadily decreasing to about every 20-30 seconds. When displaying 2 separate inputs (Ex: NVIDIA Shield on channel A and Apple TV on channel B), matrix seemed to work flawlessly. Did all usual: reboot etc. know HDMI cables are good (test with Meridio pro tester). I could trade in for another matrix and possibly waste 2-3 more days?? Or drop ship an AV Pro Edge 42X to my son. I’m doing the later. And this matrix, as though it had wings, goes back to Amazon.
