8K60Hz 4:4:4 4×1 HDMI Switcher | Dolby Vision & HDR | ARC | Audio De-embed | EDID Management | RS232 Control

The WyreStorm Essentials 8K HDMI switcher series is a plug-and-play solution capable of transmitting uncompressed signals up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz to your display. The switchers also support DSC 1.2a pass-through, an approved compression method under the HDMI 2.1 specification, enabling lossless signal transmission up to 10K@120Hz.

Available in two models with different numbers of inputs, this series also provides the ability to de-embed audio from the source when it does not offer this option, as well as ARC support from the display to deliver high-quality 5.1 audio to an audio distribution system. Additional features such as auto switching and CEC passthrough make the WyreStorm Essentials series a truly powerful and complete plug-and-play solution.
