4 Port HDMI 2.0 Switch - Tendak 4x1 HDMI Switcher Selector with 7.1 Audio Extractor Optical SPDIF + L/R 3.5mm Audio Out Include IR Remote Support ARC 4K@60HZ HDCP 2.2 3D for PS4/ Roku/Xbox One

Got this so that I would not need to upgrade my 7.1 reciever which only supports HDCP 1.4 30hz 4K passthrough, without HDR, so basically no 4K. Got it all set up, working great so far, PS4 pro is now able to use full video capabilities with my LG Cinebeam projector and the full audio capabilities of my reciever simultaneously.One thing noteworthy is the device states it only supports 5m length for the video output, but I am running a 35ft cable to my projector just fine so far. I am using a 2.3a 5v USB power source instead of the 1a one provided (built into my power strip), so maybe this is helping. If I end up needing to get a signal booster, I'll update here.Getting ARC to kick in took a little longer than expected, but once it was there, it was good... There is a footnote on the instructions that say ARC is not supported when the toggle is set to 7.1, and to set the toggle to PASS instead... but I didn't need to do this, so I'm not sure what the story is there, though I think pressing Audio Copy on the remote helped my ARC kick in, and this button is not very well explained, so perhaps "pass" is just pass-through and can support whatever audio the source is sending, and Audio Copy is a way to temporarily enable this without changing the toggle? If this is true, I'm not sure why anyone would use anything but PASS all the time. I will experiment a little more here. Pass/audio copy functions are not very well explained in the booklet.One thing I was worried about was any added lag between audio and video, or potentially an increase response time for gaming, but I haven't noticed any issues with either yet.I am not able to see my reciever's menu overlay anymore without feeding its video output into one of the 4 inputs on the device, but that solution worked, and I have some 1080p devices I can daisychain in this way too.Nice and small footprint, but would have preferred a taller or wider box if it meant being able to port all of the cables out of the back. Porting power on one side, (required) and video out on the other (also required), makes for awkward placement options when you still need to port all of the inputs and audio output in the back.

Update 2I discovered that my issue may have been related to a problem with the USB connector in the Tendak. Eventually the device would not power up. I opened the device and bent the USB pin structure down just a bit. So far there are no issues with the functions of the switch.Update:Within the last week or two this switch has developed issues with HDMI handshake with two different source devices. The only solution seems to be to remove power from the switch, then reconnect power after a few seconds; sometimes two attempts are necessary. I have sent Tendak a technical support request and they have not answered. I sent another request today and will wait three business days for a response. My gut feeling is that this device is a loss, even though it is within the one year warranty period. If so, I’ll spend more money on a J-Tech switch, as they have a US-based support team and previously answered a pre-sales question for me.Original Review:This replaced an Avenk 4K HDMI splitter and extractor that stopped passing 1080P output from one of my devices. The manufacturer of the Avenk did not respond to two inquiries for support. The Tendak has worked flawlessly and even integrates with my Logitech Harmony remote. I haven’t explored all the capabilities - I don’t even have a 4K display. But for my current installation it’s very useful. The only thing I consider a negative is the placement of the HDMI output connection, which is on one side of the unit.

I gave this product another chance, got a replacement, and it's working perfectly except for HDMI-CEC. Make sure you disconnect your ARC from your TV. Even if you turn off your TV's ARC connection you will probably need to unplug it from your receiver. Once I did this I got it to work perfectly. I haven't tried to plug it back in yet since I only need to use my TV's "smart" functions as a network player and I have a 4K Blu-ray player for this. I have been needing this product since I learned my Samsung KS8000 can't passthrough Dolby Digital Plus or any other audio format than Dolby Digital and DTS. Rokus don't have the option like Fire TVs to select Dolby Digital as the audio; which makes everything that doesn't play in DD+ either mute or in stereo. My Yamaha RX-V75 supports DD+ and other formats but only supports 4k/30fps so this was a perfect purchase.

The product does what it is intended to do and is easy to set up. Just connect the Input and output cables and it worked. I I was able to split my audio and video to my non 4k receiver and 4k projector from multiple input devices. Picture and sound quality was great from all sources.However, after about 3 months, the video stopped working on the projector. I have checked and cables and devices are working properly so the problem seems to the in the Tendak HDMI switch.I contacted tendak through amazons customer service and they are trying to trouble shoot. The particular piece I have might be defective and I will update the review post resolution with Tendak.Update : The tendak team was very responsive and quickly sent me a replacement product at no cost. All is well and working again in the media room.I might have a defective piece originally and appreciate true prompt hassle free service which helped fix the problem.

Cuando compré mi televisor OLED 4K HDR para sacarle provecho a mi Xbox One X, me enfrenté con un gran dilema, mi receptor de audio no tenía ni 4K mucho menos HDR. Sin embargo, no lo quería cambiar, pues es de buena gama, y conseguir su equivalente pero con 4K HDR @60 FPS sale en un ojo de la cara, además de que había que importar. Eso no me detuvo, y pues me bastó con conectar mis equipos por ARC. ARC es una tecnología muy límitada, muy buena para audio estéreo sin compresión pero pésima para audio multicanal. Además, con ARC el audio tiene un tremendo delay. Utilicé rockband 4 para medirlo, y es de mas de 500 ms (Medio segundo atrás!!), brutal. Así duré jugando 2 años, por ARC, y me era suficiente. Este Switch, se convirtió en la solución a todos mis problemas.No sólo cumple con su función de ser un genial HUB para todos tus aparatos que utilicen HDMI, sino que, no es un repetidor de señal, sino más bien, separa el Audio del Video y obtienes resultados espectaculares. Así, el receptor de audio sólo se encarga de eso, de procesar el audio digital que le llega y, la tele, sólo de procesar vídeo. Con dicho Switch, puedes obtener cualquier formato que se te ocurra. Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD, Dolby True-HD, DTS HD Master Audio. 2.1 Sin compresión, 5.1 Sin compresión y 7.1 sin compresión y un largo etc. Y el más novedoso Dolby Atmos. Además de eso, soporta todos los formatos de Video y HDR (también Dolby Vision) a tasas de 1080@60 FPS, 1080@120 FPS, 2K@60 FPS, 2K@120 FPS y 4K@60 FPS.El paquete demoró 2 semanas en llegar, pero fui paciente. Viene en un paquete simple, de cartón con todos sus accesorios. Debo decir que el cable de corriente es súper corto y el cubo de corriente se ve súper chafa, pero eso es lo de menos, en cualquier lado los encuentras. El Switch perse es de metal, aluminio para ser precisos. Con acabado decente. Se ve que es un producto de calidad, bien elaborado. Los puertos HDMI de entrada y salida se ven resistentes. El control que trae también se ve de súper mala calidad. Así que ese sí cuídalo bien.Al conectarlo, debes poner el audio en Passtrought para que sea la consola o bluray quien dicte el formato de audio. Trae un manual, pero la verdad es que no dice mucho. En sí, es súper fácil de instalar y configurar. Así que no lo necesitarás. Ya que tenía todo instalado, volví a medir el delay y Oh Dios mío! 33 ms de delay en audio, ósea nadaaaa y 4 ms en vídeo.Súper recomendado, sin duda.

My Marantz amp/receiver was having problems with video output to my projector. It was slowly getting worse as it took hours for it to warm up enough for consistent video without going to a black screen and a no data error. The amp was still great for surround sound, phono, bluetooth etc so this hdmi switch with sound extraction worked perfectly. I connected my cable box, apple tv and playstation to the inputs, attached the hdmi sound out to the amp and the video hdmi to the projector. I get perfect sound and video now. Easy to use. The only issue is that the switch uses the same remote signals as my cable box. I simply leave the little remote covering the lights and the sensor. Not a big deal.

Works as advertised with no complaints.

Ya había adquirido un HDMI splitter para el ps4, por un lado mi tv tenia HDR y mi viejo receptor Onkyo tenia audio 7.1. Pero al conectarlo al PS5 simplemente no funciono. Investigando encontre este aparato el cual me permite sacar la señal 4k/hdr y tener salida propia del audio 7.1, de esta manera no tengo que deshacerme de mi viejo Onkyo.Como plus se pueden conectar mas dispositivos y con un control puedes cambiar entre cual vizualizar.

Item was completely crushed, I don't even know what to say.
