## Long description

Alcasa GC-M0261 is a compact, directional HDMI 2.1 switcher designed to route two HDMI sources to a single display. The unit supports resolutions up to 7680×4320 (8K) and HDCP 2.3 compatibility. Housed in a metal enclosure with gold-plated contacts, the switcher is powered via a 5 V USB connection (Type B power plug) and includes a USB Type-A to Micro USB-B cable for auxiliary power when the connected HDMI devices do not supply sufficient power. Selection between inputs is done with a physical Select button; an LED indicates the active input.
Advantages
The metal housing provides mechanical durability and improved heat dissipation compared with plastic enclosures. Support for HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.3 enables transmission of high-resolution video up to 8K at 30 Hz and ensures compatibility with modern protected content. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve signal reliability. The compact, directional 2-in/1-out design simplifies connecting two consoles, set-top boxes or media players to a single display without extra software or drivers.
Suitable for
 Home entertainment setups with two HDMI sources and one TV or projector

How to use
Connect the two HDMI source devices to the input ports and connect the output port to your display using standard HDMI cables. If the switch does not receive sufficient power from connected HDMI devices, plug the supplied USB Type-A to Micro USB-B cable into a 5 V USB power source and the switch’s power input. Press the Select button to toggle between input sources; the active input is shown by the blue LED. The device is plug & play and does not require drivers. Ensure HDMI cables are fully inserted to maintain reliable signal transmission.
Usage recommendations
For stable high-resolution output, use high-speed HDMI cables rated for HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and keep cable lengths as short as practical. Place the switch in a ventilated area to avoid heat buildup and avoid powering the unit from low-current USB ports if image instability is observed—use an external 5 V USB power source when required.
