For just $99.99, below its 30-day average of $124.88. The 90-day average sits at $119.49 and the 180-day average is $117.88, so this is the lowest this matrix has been in at least six months.

If you've been tracking this model, now is when the numbers line up.

What You're Getting

The Blackbird 4x2 routes any of four HDMI sources to two displays independently, with full 18 Gbps bandwidth and support for 4K@60Hz YCbCr 4:4:4. It passes 7.1 channel HD audio, de-embeds audio from Output A to optical or analog outputs, and downscales Output B to 1080p if needed.

HDCP 2.2 compliant, includes an IR remote and supports EDID management for compatibility across mixed gear.

Who This Is For

Best for: home theater owners juggling multiple sources like a streaming box, game console, cable tuner, and Blu-ray player with only one or two displays. Also useful for conference rooms or classroom setups that need to switch between presentation sources.

Skip it if you need more than four inputs or two outputs -- this is a focused solution for a specific wiring pain point.

The Caveat

This is a powered unit, so it needs a wall outlet nearby. The IR remote works fine for most setups, but there's no IP control or RS-232 for custom automation systems.

Final Verdict

At $99.99. This is $25 below its recent average and one of the better prices for a name-brand 4x2 matrix with HDR support. If you need to clean up a multi-source setup before the summer movie season. This is the price to buy at.
