HDMI 2.1 switch with 4 inputs and 1 output

The SW411 HDMI switch allows you to connect up to four HDMI devices, such as PS5, Xbox, Apple TV, PCs, or set-top boxes, to a single display. You can easily switch between different devices without constantly reconnecting cables. The switch is compatible with various display types, including TVs, projectors, and monitors. With the convenient auto-switching function, the switch automatically detects the last activated device and switches to it, so you can always use the device you want. Ideal for a flexible home theater or gaming setup.

HDMI Audio Extractor: Versatile audio output for any setup

The SW411 features a built-in HDMI audio extractor, allowing you to flexibly use audio across multiple outputs. You can output audio simultaneously through multiple outputs – the HDMI output supports all common audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and PCM in various channels. For simultaneous audio transmission on all three audio outputs, set the audio format to PCM Stereo.

• AUX (L/R) : Only the stereo signal (2.0 PCM) is output here.
• Toslink (optical) : Offers the ability to output stereo, Dolby Digital, or DTS—ideal for older sound systems.
• HDMI Output : The HDMI output supports all common audio formats and is ideal for passing the sound to a modern sound system with multiple HDMI inputs (such as an AV receiver or soundbar).

A notice:

Please note that operation with soundbars that only have an HDMI ARC/eARC port, such as Sonos or Bose, is not possible. Make sure your sound system has a standard HDMI input to fully utilize audio extraction via HDMI!

How to find the right connection for your sound system, we have here explained.

Support for modern audio formats for best sound

The SW411 offers comprehensive support for all common and latest audio formats, ensuring you enjoy the best possible audio experience. For immersive sound, such as that offered by modern formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X , your sound system must be connected via a standard HDMI input—ideally to an AV receiver or soundbar with at least two HDMI ports. This allows you to experience the impressive 3D sound of Dolby Atmos or DTS:X in the highest quality and utilize the full range of modern audio formats.

HDMI 2.1 support for modern video formats

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 switch supports the latest video formats and ensures razor-sharp images. With a maximum resolution of up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 240Hz, the switch guarantees outstanding image quality, both for high-resolution 8K displays and for fast 4K displays, which are especially important for gaming.

Thanks to HDMI 2.1, the SW411 also supports advanced features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), QMS (Quick Media Switching), QFT (Quick Frame Transport) and SBTM (Sports Mode) to enable smoother, judder-free images and instant response times when gaming.

The SW411 is not only optimized for the latest displays, but is also backward compatible with older devices. This means the Switch supports lower resolutions and older video formats without any loss of quality. Additionally, support for HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision ensures impressive colors and contrast that shine in all scenes, whether bright or dark.

Whether you're enjoying movies, streaming content, or playing games on your display, the SW411 always delivers excellent image quality, regardless of the resolution used.

Audio EDID management for optimal signal processing

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 switch features advanced audio EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, ensuring that the connected device automatically selects the best possible audio signal based on the capabilities of the display and sound system. This ensures optimal signal processing, ensuring you always get the best sound for your setup.

The EDID system automatically adjusts the audio format. You can adjust the audio mode using the EDID switch to choose between different formats. The available modes include:

• 2.0 : PCM 2.0 (Stereo)
• 5.1 : DTS, Dolby Digital, PCM 2.0
• 7.1 : DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS-X, PCM 2.0/5.1/7.1
• PASS : Pass the audio formats of the HDMI audio device to OUT2

HDMI ARC/eARC support for TV audio

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 Switch offers a seamless way to route your TV's audio to an external sound system via HDMI-ARC or HDMI-eARC. The switch automatically detects whether the audio is coming from the TV and switches the audio output to HDMI-ARC/eARC once a signal is detected.

TV audio is output simultaneously on all three audio outputs—HDMI, Toslink, and AUX (analog stereo)—giving you the flexibility to choose between the different outputs. This lets you stream your TV audio directly to your sound system without having to manually switch between them.

Please note that for simultaneous output on multiple audio outputs, the sound format on the TV may need to be adjusted, since, for example, only PCM stereo can be transmitted via AUX (3.5mm jack).

Automatic switching for more comfort

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 Switch offers a convenient, automatic switching function that simplifies switching between your connected devices. The switch automatically detects the last connected device and seamlessly switches to it without you having to manually change the input. This allows for quick use and more flexibility in selecting your desired device, be it a PS5, Xbox, PC, or other HDMI-enabled device.

Thanks to the included remote control, you can also quickly and easily switch between devices and adjust the audio formats to your needs. Manually switching devices is a thing of the past – the SW411 ensures a smooth process.

Please note that this feature is not supported by all HDMI devices. Players like Apple TV or Shield TV do not completely shut down, meaning fully automatic switching is not possible with these devices.

HDMI-CEC control for easy operation

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 switch supports HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows you to control the volume and basic functions of your connected sound system directly from your TV's remote control. This eliminates the need to switch between different remote controls, simplifying operation.

Please note that HDMI-CEC only works for connected HDMI devices, and eARC must be enabled on the SW411 to use this feature. This allows you to conveniently control the volume using the TV remote, provided the connected sound system supports HDMI-CEC.

Auto-power function for automatic on/off

The SW411's Auto Power feature ensures that both the switch and the sound system connected to the HDMI port turn on or off automatically. As soon as you turn on your TV, the SW411 is activated, and the connected sound system also starts up. When you turn off the TV, the SW411 and the sound system turn off simultaneously—all without manual intervention.

However, you can also turn the SW411 on or off manually using the included remote control. If you want to disable the auto-on/off function, simply press the eARC button on the device for 5 seconds. Please note that HDMI eARC must be enabled on the SW411 for this function to work correctly.

Easy installation & high compatibility

The SW411 HDMI 2.1 switch integrates quickly and easily into your home theater setup. Simply connect up to four HDMI devices such as consoles, PCs, or set-top boxes and connect the switch to your display and sound system. No complex setup is required.

Thanks to its broad compatibility, the SW411 supports all common HDMI devices, including modern TVs, monitors, and projectors. Older HDMI devices are also seamlessly supported, giving you maximum flexibility in your device selection.

The Out 2 "Audio Only" port transmits the audio to a sound system, which must have a standard HDMI input. You can identify HDMI inputs by the markings on the devices. Standard HDMI inputs are often labeled "HDMI IN." On AV amplifiers, these HDMI ports are also often referred to as "Blu-ray," "Media Player," or "Game." These ports are responsible for receiving video and audio signals from a source device.

If, contrary to expectations, a device is incompatible, you can always contact our support team. The SW411 can be updated with new firmware via the USB-C interface to expand compatibility and resolve potential issues.

Optimal cable lengths and expansion options

For best performance, we recommend a cable length of less than 2 m for HDMI connections at 8K/4K 240Hz and less than 5 m for 4K 60Hz. For longer distances, HDMI fiber optic cables can be used to ensure stable signal transmission.
