UGREEN 70435 4×2 HDMI Matrix Switch, 4K60, Audio Extraction

Overview

The UGREEN 70435 is a 4 by 2 HDMI matrix switch. Four HDMI sources connect to it and two TVs or displays hang off it, and you choose which source each display shows, or send the same source to both, from the front panel or the remote. It also takes the sound out to optical and 3.5 mm outputs for a soundbar or amplifier, and it handles 4K at 60 Hz, so it suits a living room with a TV and a projector, or a meeting room with two screens.

Is it right for you?

• Suits two displays that need independent source selection. If both screens should always show the same picture, a splitter is enough; if you want several sources on one screen at once, a multi-viewer suits better.
• It does not combine sources into a quad view or picture-in-picture.
• It is not a KVM: it does not switch USB keyboards, mice or storage.
• HDMI only: it does not convert DisplayPort, USB-C, VGA or wireless video.
• It cannot add 4K, HDR, HDCP or surround sound to equipment that lacks them.

Key features

• Four HDMI inputs and two HDMI 2.0 outputs in a true 4 by 2 matrix.
• Independent source selection for output A and output B, or the same source mirrored to both.
• Up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz when the complete signal path supports it.
• Up to 18 Gbps with HDR, 3D and HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 2.2 and 1.4 pass-through.
• Optical S/PDIF and 3.5 mm analogue stereo audio outputs for an external sound system.
• Front-panel buttons and an infrared remote, with status indicators showing the routing.
• Powered from a 5 V DC 1 A supply; 20 x 10 x 5 cm, 450 g.

What else you need

• HDMI cables for all four sources and both displays, each rated for the resolution and distance you need.
• A 5 V 1 A DC power supply.
• An optical or 3.5 mm cable only if you connect a separate sound system.

Installation

A desk or AV cabinet job. Place it in a ventilated spot near the power connection, with the front panel accessible or a clear line of sight for the infrared remote.

Before you buy

• Both displays must accept HDMI and share a usable resolution and audio format with each selected source.
• Treat the 3.5 mm output as analogue stereo, and choose an audio format the optical or analogue destination supports; otherwise the picture appears but the external audio stays silent.
• The accessory list is not fully published. Check that the 5 V 1 A power supply and the infrared remote are in the box, or ask our team, before installation.
