BZBGear BG-8K-44MA 4x4 8K HDMI 2.1 Matrix Switcher

The 8K-44MA is a 4x4 matrix built on HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps, which is what is needed once sources are running 8K or 4K at 120 Hz. It handles 8K60 4:2:0, 8K30 4:4:4, 4K120 4:4:4 and 1080p240, and supports VRR, FVA and ALLM for gaming sources.

Auto downscaling is the practical feature: an 8K source routed to a 4K display is scaled in the matrix rather than going black. Each output breaks audio out on S/PDIF optical and a balanced five-pin Phoenix connector, and control is by front panel, TCP/IP, RS-232 or IR.
