What customers say
This 4x2 HDMI matrix earns high praise for delivering exceptional value and reliable performance for complex routing. Users consistently highlight its robust metal build and its capability to handle demanding 4K HDR signals effectively, often outperforming pricier alternatives. It is viewed as a true workhorse by A/V enthusiasts seeking budget conscious power. The primary drawback noted involves occasional HDCP handshake issues, especially with newer consoles or specific receivers, sometimes necessitating power cycling or careful cable selection. Despite these minor setup complexities, the consensus is that the Blackbird offers outstanding features for its cost, making it a highly recommended solution for those needing advanced signal management.
