Overview

Switch between two 8K HDMI 2.1 sources and distribute the selected input to two displays simultaneously — functioning as both a switcher and a splitter in a single compact device. The KanexPro SW-2X28K resolves a common integration challenge: mirroring a single source across two displays while retaining the ability to switch between sources. Its 8-position EDID DIP switch ensures reliable handshake across mixed-resolution display environments.

Compliant with HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.3, the SW-2X28K delivers up to 8K@60Hz 4:2:0 and 4K@120Hz 4:4:4 at 40Gbps bandwidth. Full HDR pass-through — HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG — preserves cinematic image quality across both outputs. VRR, ALLM, and FVA optimize gaming performance. Built-in equalizer, retiming, and driver compensate for signal loss over longer HDMI runs. Control via IR remote or front-panel button. Compact metal enclosure drawing 6.15W.
