Need help finding a 4K HDMI 2.0a switch for HDR?

Simon Belmont

I ordered this one
3 Port 4K HDMI 2.0 UHD Switch | LINDY UK

I tried using it with HDR and screen went blank.  Turn off HDR it works fine.  Seem like not enough speed for HDR. Found out Max bandwidth is 10.2Gbps on the Lindy switch.

HDR you need 600mhz/18gbps speed?   

Any one have a idea where to get a 4k HDMI 2.0a switch with 18Gbps?

Thanks

Anyone?

As you've found, that won't work. The only switch that will is the HDFury Integral. It's a 2 in 2 out switch that will support up to 18.2Gb/s in switch mode.

Cheers for that, but that's a lot more then I'm willing to spend.  I'll switch cables manually when needed instead. Hope these switches come down in price soon?

Unlikely, they have no competition.

I only have 1 HDR on HDMI 1.  HDMI 2 and 3 don't have HDR. I want to inject HDR on HDMI 2  from what I read I can do this.

We really need decent HDCP 2.2 HDMI 2.0a switches. I have 3x HDMI 2.0a ports and I've ran out too. There is most definitely a market for them so company's that make decent switches need to get there acts together and start releasing true 4k capable ones.

'company's that make decent switches need to get there acts together' - keep in mind who 'owns' the HDMI landscape. The big boys don't release the Tech to the small players until after they have had a head start developing Source and Display kit.

Once the Chip vendors get the required Tech they can then hand over to the smaller hardware vendors - it all takes time.

PS Our Octava HD41-ARC* 4x1 HDMI   Optical switch has been updated to 2160p, 60fps, HDR, HDCP 2.2.

*Now the UHD41-ARC.

Very interested in picking one of the new model up when available. Good to know something is coming.

We have some stock of the UHD41-ARC
