OREI 4K HDMI Matrix Switch 2x2 - Dual Switcher and Splitter

Our review of the OREI 4K HDMI Matrix Switch 2 X 2 finds it best for small home theater setups or multi-room AV rigs that need a simple, reliable way to route two HDMI sources to two displays. The single biggest reason to buy is its flexible 2 in/2 out design that serves as both a splitter and a switch, letting users send the same source to two screens or select separate sources for each display. Setup is straightforward and the device includes a compact IR remote and front-panel button for quick control.

Key Features

• 2x2 Matrix: Lets you route two HDMI inputs to two outputs independently, providing both splitter and switch functions for flexible viewing arrangements.
• 4K Support: Handles resolutions up to 4K@30Hz with a video bandwidth up to 10.2Gbps, which keeps most UltraHD sources compatible with typical 4K displays.
• HDMI 1.4a and HDCP 1.4 Compliance: Ensures broad compatibility with older HDMI devices and protected content that require HDCP 1.4 handling.
• EDID Management: Four DIP switches let you toggle EDID modes to manage handshake and audio/video output behavior for different displays and sources.
• Included Accessories: Ships with an IR remote, power adapter, and user manual so the unit is ready to use out of the box with minimal setup.

Who It's For

This matrix is aimed at homeowners, gamers, and small office users who need to share two HDMI sources across two displays without complicated installation. It works well with game consoles, streaming sticks, Blu-ray players, and projectors where simple switching or simultaneous output is required.

Users who need true 4K@60Hz, very high video bandwidth beyond 10.2Gbps, or the latest HDCP 2.x features should look elsewhere, as this model targets compatibility and convenience rather than cutting-edge 4K@60 performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Flexible 2-in/2-out operation that functions as both a splitter and a switch for multiple viewing scenarios.
• Simple setup with included IR remote and front-panel control makes daily use convenient.
• EDID DIP switches allow tailoring of output behavior to avoid handshake or audio issues with some displays.
• Good value for basic 4K setups and broad device compatibility.

Cons

• Supports up to 4K@30Hz and HDCP 1.4 only, so it is not ideal for users requiring 4K@60Hz or HDCP 2.0+ content protection.
• Some customers report intermittent issues with image quality or the IR remote not always responding.
