Bi-Directional Design

The main advantage of this UGREEN HDMI switch is its bi-directional operation.

Mode 1 – 2 Inputs → 1 Output

Connect two HDMI source devices to one display.

Example:

PS5 + Xbox → UGREEN HDMI Switch → TV

Press the button to choose which console appears on the TV.

Mode 2 – 1 Input → 2 Outputs

Connect one HDMI source to two displays.

Example:

Gaming PC → UGREEN HDMI Switch → TV OR Monitor

Press the button to choose which display receives the signal.

Important: It Does Not Display on Two Screens Simultaneously

Although the product is sometimes described as a 1-in-2-out HDMI splitter, it is actually a switch.

In 1-input / 2-output mode:

• Display 1: Selectable
• Display 2: Selectable
• Both simultaneously: No

It sends the signal to one selected display at a time.

If you need the same image displayed on two TVs simultaneously, you need a true powered HDMI splitter.

4K Ultra HD at 60Hz

The switch supports high-resolution HDMI video up to:

• 4K @ 60Hz: Yes
• 4K @ 30Hz: Yes
• 1080p @ 60Hz: Yes
• 720p: Yes
• 3D Video: Yes

This makes it suitable for modern 4K TVs and monitors.

Actual output depends on the source, HDMI cables, switch, and display capabilities.

HDR Support

Compatible HDR signals can pass through the switch, allowing supported TVs and monitors to deliver enhanced:

• Contrast
• Brightness
• Color reproduction
• Highlight detail
• Shadow detail

The source device, content, cables, and display must also support the required HDR format.

One-Button Switching

A physical button allows quick switching between connected devices.

For example, in 2-in-1-out mode:

• HDMI 1: PS5
• HDMI 2: Xbox
• Display: TV

Simply press the button to change between the PS5 and Xbox.

This is particularly useful when several devices remain permanently connected.
