How Does an HDMI Switcher Work?

Setting up an HDMI switcher from BZBGEAR is quick and easy. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Power Up

Plug in the HDMI switcher using the included power adapter.

2. Connect Your Sources

Plug your HDMI source devices (like gaming consoles, streaming boxes, or Blu-ray players) into the input ports.

3. Connect Your Display

Attach your TV or monitor to the switcher's output port.

4. Switch Between Devices

Use the front panel button or the included IR remote to toggle between connected sources.

Which HDMI switcher is best for a gaming setup that requires 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz?

If you’re looking for a switcher to facilitate 8K@60 and 4K@120, then take a look at our BG-8K-HS21. This is a nice simple 1x2 switcher that offers 8K@60 and 4K@120 with VRR, FVA and ALLM. This is a fantastic unit if you’d like to swap between a high end gaming PC and a PS5 or Xbox on one display.

Does the switcher support "Auto-Switching," so it automatically detects when I turn on my laptop or console?

None of ours do.

Will using an HDMI switcher add any input lag to my gaming or video editing workflow?

Our switchers don’t add any noticeable input lag into your gaming or editing workflow. Our BG-8K-HS41 is a great choice for those looking to do some serious gaming or editing with up to 8K@60 or 4K@120 support and adds up to 4 inputs to swap between.

Can I control the HDMI switcher with a remote control or through a smartphone app?

Most of our switchers come with a remote in the box so you can control them from the comfort of your couch or desk without needing to interact directly with the box. Some models, like our BG-8K-HS41AR also have RS-232 control as well.

How do I solve the problem of my TV not supporting enough HDR formats when using multiple sources?

Not sure I understand the question.

Is there a compact HDMI switcher that is small enough to hide behind a wall-mounted TV?

The BG-8K-HS41 is a great option for placing behind a TV so that you have a nice clean TV setup. This is an ultra slim small 4x1 switcher that supports up to 8K@60. It also comes with a remote so you can handle the switching without needing to reach behind the TV.

Does a "Seamless Switcher" really eliminate the black screen delay when changing between video sources?

Yes they do actually eliminate the black screen delay when changing between sources. They generally do this by having some cool technology like internal frame buffering and pre-cached EDID information for example.

Can I extract audio from the HDMI switcher to send it directly to my soundbar or external speakers?

Absolutely! Models like our BG-8K-HS41A have audio de-embedding so that you can send that audio directly to your soundbar or external speakers! This is also an awesome HDMI 4x1 switcher with 8K@60 support or 4K@120! You also get VRR, FVA, ALLM and plenty of other awesome features.
