Why BZBGEAR 8K Video Switchers Stand Out
If you’re in the market for an 8K switcher to best support a high-end gaming setup with a PS5, Xbox Series X or a PC then we have a couple of different recommendations depending on your specific needs. All of our 8K switchers are HDMI 2.1, with 4k 120Hz, VRR, ALLM and have a full 48Gbps available to you. We have options depending on budget and needs, so for example if you just have a single TV and just the PS5 and Xbox then our BG-8K-HS21 is a great 2x1 option that will allow you to freely switch between the two. If you’d like up to four inputs and would like analog audio de-embedding we also have an option for you with our BG-8K-HS41AR as well and plenty of options in between. If you’d like to look over the rest of the products you can find them here and we’d be happy to help you find the best fit if you’re unsure on what model to go with, we can help!
The answer is that it completely depends on your specific needs in the future, and in some cases current needs. For example, if you are only utilizing 4k or lower sources and have no need for a refresh rate above 60Hz for your 4k sources then you would be fine with a high quality 4k switcher like our BZB-SW-41A. However in a lot of cases, it’s not much more expensive to go with an 8k option, and if you’re wanting to have access to 4k at 120Hz or even 1080p at 240Hz then it would be really good to consider an 8k option such as our BG-8K-HS41 which is going to bring extras like VRR, FVA, and ALLM as well as opening doors for a higher refresh rate.
There are a couple of things that you should be looking for in regards to an 8k switcher and the features that are going to keep it relevant moving forward. The first would be of course HDMI 2.1 support, it doesn’t do you any good to have an 8k switcher if it can’t actually deliver the signal! From there make sure it’s 48Gbps, that way you can get full 8k with HDR formats or higher color fidelity. Our 8k switchers are HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps, as well as features like VRR, ALLM and FVA.
At BZBGEAR, all of our 8k switchers are able to support 4k at 120Hz. In fact that is a key reason why we think that 8k is something worth pursuing even if 8k content itself is not widely available, it opens a lot of doors for you especially in the realm of gaming by allowing you to enjoy your gaming experience at a higher refresh rates.
This is a great question, afterall it would be really unfortunate if you wanted to enjoy a movie in HDR and Dolby Vision only to find out that the end result is worse than it should be. The good news is that BZBGEAR supports HDR/Dolby Vision and our 8k switchers are capable of passing those signals through without any degradation of the quality. So enjoy the movies!
Absolutely there are! Our 8k switchers thanks to their HDMI 2.1 support and 48Gbps means that they can handle anything that the RTX 4090 or the 9070 XT can throw at them. So if you want to use an 8k switcher with your gaming PC look no further than BZBGEAR to maintain the best image quality and gaming experience.
This depends on how many sources you’d like to have in your home cinema, as well as how you’d like to handle the audio. Overall we’d recommend either our BG-8K-HS41A or our BG-8K-HS41AR. Both of these options will give you four sources as well as audio de-embedding. The HS41AR model however will offer analog audio de-embed as well as RS-232 control and EDID if those are things that you would like.
