DIGITUS DS-55334 8K HDMI Switch 5x1 — Five Sources, One Display, 48 Gbps
8K60 4:4:4 · 48 Gbps5 in · 1 outHDR · HDCP 2.3Remote + auto-switch
The DIGITUS DS-55334 is a 5-port 8K HDMI switch that connects five sources — consoles, a PC, a media player, a set-top box — to one TV, monitor or projector and passes up to 8K at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 colour over 48 Gbps. It solves the common problem of a display with too few HDMI inputs.
You switch sources with the included IR remote, the button on the unit, or let the switch select the most recently powered-on source automatically. HDR, HDCP 2.3, CEC and 36-bit Deep Color are supported, along with compressed (Dolby Digital, DTS) and uncompressed LPCM audio.
The compact metal housing is powered through USB-C — a cable is included — so it can run from a TV USB port or a USB power adapter.
Compatibility note: For 8K60 you need Ultra High Speed HDMI cables on every input and on the output, and a display that accepts those modes. The switch shows one source at a time — it is not a multiviewer or splitter.

Consoles, PC, streaming box and Blu-ray player all stay connected; only one HDMI cable runs to the display.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DIGITUS DS-55334 work with a PS5, Xbox Series X and a PC at the same time?
Yes. All three stay plugged into separate inputs and you switch between them with the remote, the button or automatic switching. The switch passes up to 8K60 at 48 Gbps; DIGITUS does not list 4K120 as a tested mode, so check it with your TV if high-refresh gaming is the priority.
Can the DS-55334 show two sources on the screen at once?
No. It is a 5-in-1-out selector switch: one source is shown at a time. Split-screen viewing needs a multiviewer, and sending one source to several screens needs an HDMI splitter.
What power does the switch need?
It runs on 5 V via the included USB-C cable. A free USB port on the TV or any USB power adapter is enough — no dedicated mains adapter is required.
Singular Expert Insight
The DS-55334 is a tidy fix for TVs and monitors that run out of HDMI ports, and at 48 Gbps it does not bottleneck current consoles or HDMI 2.1 graphics cards. Five inputs cover most living rooms and meeting rooms; if you only have two or three sources, a smaller switch costs less.
✓ Buy it if you have more HDMI 2.1 sources than your display has inputs and want remote or automatic switching.
✕ Skip it if you need to show several sources at once or send one source to several screens — that needs a multiviewer or splitter.
→ Also consider An Ultra High Speed HDMI cable such as the Club 3D CAC-1376 for the long run from the switch to a projector.
