Overview

Mode A: two HDMI sources → button selects one → one display. Mode B: one HDMI source → button selects one → one of two displays. It never drives both display branches simultaneously.

Correct direction is the first troubleshooting check. Similar-looking HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C products can require completely different source and display sides.

Key features

Inputs

Three identical HDMI sockets used according to the chosen 2-in/1-out or 1-in/2-out arrangement

Outputs

One selected HDMI path at a time

Video ceiling

Up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz; 1080p120 also listed

Power

No external power required

How switching and multi-display behavior works

Bidirectional describes port arrangement, not simultaneous duplication. In 1-in/2-out use only the selected display works. A 3–7 second HDMI re-handshake after switching is listed, and the unit defaults to Port 1 because it has no memory.

Control: Single hardware selection button with LED indicators.

Never assume: a product advertised as “bidirectional,” “splitter” or “matrix” behaves like another topology. Follow the exact source/output map above.

Verified resolution, refresh and feature boundary

Maximum listed mode

Up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz; 1080p120 also listed

Interface boundary

HDMI 2.0 interface is listed

Audio path

Compatible HDMI audio pass-through; the exact listing names DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC-3 and DSD. The selector does not decode audio.

Complete-path rule

Source, every cable, selector/distributor, display input, EDID and protected-content requirements must all agree. One weaker component can lower or blank the link.

Use scenarios

Scenario 1

Share one display between a PC and console

Scenario 2

Choose between television and projector for one player

Scenario 3

Keep two work computers wired to one monitor

Scenario 4

Avoid repeatedly reconnecting a single HDMI display cable

Setup and usability guidance

  1. Step 1: Decide whether the layout is 2 sources → 1 display or 1 source → 2 selectable displays.
  2. Step 2: Connect only according to that layout; all three sockets are HDMI but their role depends on direction.
  3. Step 3: Use the button to select Port 1 or Port 2.
  4. Step 4: Allow several seconds for HDMI and HDCP re-handshake after switching.
  5. Step 5: If blank, test at 1080p60 with one short cable on each side.
  6. Step 6: Do not expect both displays to light at once in 1-in/2-out mode.

Best first test: one source, one short cable path, one display and 1080p60. Expand only after this baseline works.

Compatible devices and systems

Compatible system boundary

Standard HDMI sources and displays that agree on resolution, colour, audio and content protection. Works with computers, consoles, media players, TVs, monitors and projectors within those limits.

Cable planning

Use short, verified HDMI cables for high-bandwidth modes. The exact SKU page does not provide one universal 4K60 length ceiling, so no unsupported distance is promised.

Audio planning

Compatible HDMI audio pass-through; the exact listing names DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC-3 and DSD. The selector does not decode audio.

Power planning

No external power required

SKU 50966: In 1-in/2-out use, only the selected display works. This is a selector—not a simultaneous two-screen splitter or desktop extender.
10

What to do

Label

Label every source, output and power cable before installation.

Build gradually

Start at 1080p60 with one display, then add outputs or increase resolution in stages.

Verify cables

Use short, verified cables for 4K/high-refresh operation and replace suspect cables before changing advanced settings.

Power safely

Keep ventilation openings clear and use only the specified power arrangement.

Record settings

Save working resolution, HDR, HDCP and audio settings for future troubleshooting.
11

What not to do

Do not reverse

Do not infer reverse direction or simultaneous outputs beyond the exact topology.

Do not confuse

Do not treat a switch as a splitter, a splitter as a switch, or either as a capture device.

Do not assume scaling

Do not assume every display can use its own independent resolution or refresh rate.

Do not force

Do not force connectors, hot-plug damaged cables or use an unverified power supply.

Do not overclaim

Do not promise DSC, MST, eARC, VRR or gaming modes unless this exact SKU explicitly lists them.
12

Warnings and limitations

  • Power: No external power required.
  • Display negotiation: mixed displays can force a lower common mode or create a blank screen.
  • Protected content: HDCP must be supported end to end; the device cannot bypass protection.
  • Heat and moisture: indoor use only; keep dry, ventilated and away from direct heat.
  • Cables: Use short, verified HDMI cables for high-bandwidth modes. The exact SKU page does not provide one universal 4K60 length ceiling, so no unsupported distance is promised.

Troubleshooting checklist

No picture

Confirm direction, power, active source and display input. Test one display at 1080p60 with short cables.

Picture drops

Replace one cable at a time, reduce resolution/refresh and disconnect extra outputs until the failing leg is isolated.

Wrong resolution

Choose a mode supported by every connected display and check the exact EDID or output-selection behavior.

No audio

Select the display path as the source audio output and use a format supported by the display or receiver.

Remote or hotkey fails

Use the documented control path, check battery/IR line of sight or designated keyboard port, then test the local button.

Protected video blanks

Confirm the exact HDCP level across the source, device and every active display. This product cannot bypass HDCP.

Exact-SKU research and media reconciliation

Primary source: the exact UGREEN India page and current live Shopify record.

Visual check: Exact copy and live images confirm bidirectional port use, 4K60, one-button selection and no power. The word “splitter” is potentially misleading: only one display can be active in 1-in/2-out mode, so every section states selected-output behavior rather than duplication.

Research policy: conflicting shared artwork, adjacent-model specifications and unsupported feature combinations were excluded instead of being blended into the copy.

SKU 50966: The product-owned scene supports the listed 4K60 use case; real resolution and stability remain conditional on both cable legs and the endpoints.

What is the maximum verified display mode?
Up to 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz; 1080p120 also listed. The final mode is limited by the source, every cable, the switch/splitter and the display or displays.
Can it create an extended desktop?
No independent multi-display workspace is created. Bidirectional describes port arrangement, not simultaneous duplication. In 1-in/2-out use only the selected display works. A 3–7 second HDMI re-handshake after switching is listed, and the unit defaults to Port 1 because it has no memory.
Does it need external power?
No external power required.
Does it carry audio?
Compatible HDMI audio pass-through; the exact listing names DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM 7.1, DTS, Dolby AC-3 and DSD. The selector does not decode audio.
Which cables are required?
Use short, verified HDMI cables for high-bandwidth modes. The exact SKU page does not provide one universal 4K60 length ceiling, so no unsupported distance is promised. Cables not named in the package contents must be supplied separately.
What should I try if there is no picture?
Confirm the signal direction and active source, attach required power, select the correct display input, reseat cables and begin at 1080p60 with one display. Add other outputs or higher modes only after a stable base link.
Can it improve resolution, refresh rate or HDCP?
No. It can only pass or route modes already supported throughout the complete connection. It cannot upgrade a source, cable or display.
What is included?
1 × UGREEN 50966 bidirectional HDMI switch. HDMI cables, remote control and power adapter are not included.
What exact-model conflicts were removed?
Exact copy and live images confirm bidirectional port use, 4K60, one-button selection and no power. The word “splitter” is potentially misleading: only one display can be active in 1-in/2-out mode, so every section states selected-output behavior rather than duplication.
