Overview

The Monoprice Blackbird 4K 3x1 HDMI Switch is designed for home theater setups where multiple HDMI devices—such as a game console, streaming stick, and Blu-ray player—need to share a single HDMI input on a TV or projector. Rather than constantly swapping cables, the Blackbird lets you connect all three sources and switch between them using either the onboard button or the included remote control. It supports resolutions up to 4K and is compatible with all standard 3D TV formats, making it a versatile hub for modern entertainment systems.

Built-in HDCP repeater functionality ensures that copy-protected content from streaming devices and disc players passes through without issue. The switch is designed for fast input toggling, minimizing the black-screen delay that can occur with slower HDMI switches. Its compact size allows it to be tucked behind a TV or placed on a shelf without taking up significant space, making it a practical and unobtrusive addition to any AV setup.
