UGREEN 50966 HDMI Switcher 2 In 1 Out – Bi-Directional 4K@60Hz HDMI Switch Splitter

UGREEN 50966 HDMI Switcher handles two HDMI input sources through one HDMI output display. Two devices plug into the switcher. One HDMI cable runs from the switcher to the monitor or TV. A physical button on the unit body selects which source device sends a signal to the display. No cable removal is required when changing between sources.

4K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate is supported. That ceiling applies when source devices and displays both handle 4K 60Hz specifications. Equipment rated below 4K 60Hz operates at native supported resolution instead.

UGREEN designed the 50966 with bi-directional capability. The same hardware unit works two ways depending on setup orientation. The first way operates as a switcher—two sources into one display. The second way operates as a splitter—one source into two displays. The Splitter mode carries one restriction worth noting. Only one display receives a signal at any moment. Both connected displays do not show content at the same time. Button press determines which display stays active.

Practical application for switcher mode covers scenarios where a gaming console and streaming device both need access to the bedroom TV. Or a home office setup where a work laptop and a personal laptop share one desk monitor. Button press swaps between machines. Cables stay connected permanently.

Splitter mode application covers scenarios where one media player needs routing to the living room TV sometimes and the bedroom TV other times. One source, two display options, button-controlled selection.

UGREEN 50966 carries a model-specific 4K 60Hz throughput rating. Bi-directional functionality built into a single compact unit. Physical button controls source or display selection depending on operating mode. Product specifications provided by UGREEN do not reference external power requirements for the switcher operation.
