KanexPro SW-HD Overview

Highly compact, featuring a quick-access "switch" button and corresponding LED indicators, and supporting up to UltraHD 4K resolution, the KanexPro 5x1 HDMI Switcher is a minimalist, trendy, user-friendly device for the home, office, or retail establishment. Connect cable boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and other HDMI sources to your 4K TV, HDTV, or projector and toggle your sources rapidly using the switch button or the included remote control.

One of the distinguishing features of this switcher is that it has ultra low power consumption and doesn't require an external power supply. It is simply powered off any one of your connected HDMI sources. In rare cases when your HDMI source consumes an unusually high amount of power, you can power the switcher by connecting it to your PC using an included USB to barrel connector cable.

The switcher supports high-quality video and audio, including Deep Color, HD lossless audio formats, and Lip Sync. It is HDCP compliant for compatibility with HDCP protected devices, like most cable boxes, and it features EDID support for compatibility with most displays.

Unfortunately this did not work out for us. We are getting a 1080p 60Hz signal from a PC, but this device will insert green 'static' throughout the image. Not all the time, it seems to be dependent on what is being displayed making it hard to troubleshoot. Eliminating this device from the video feed solves the problem. This happens whether it is powered directly from the 5V or from the HDMI inputs. We have three of these deployed, only one showing issues so far but it's only been a few months.

Can this be used backwards? In other words, can it switch one input to one of two outputs? I would like to route an HDMI source to either my TV directly, or to my home stereo.

Can this switch accommodate HDMI cables that are 50' or longer?
Asked by: Marlon
This switcher works with an HDMI signal up to UHD 4K at 30fps. However the switcher itself has no impact on the length of the cable it is being used with. In general, standard HDMI cables send a signal around 25 feet.

Can I use this switchers with OBS to switch between my dslr cameras?
Asked by: Samuel
No. This switcher works as a selector. The input you choose is the one that is send, but if you switch from one input to another, the switching is not seamless and will probably give you a second of black in between. OBS will not control this unit.
