In my harmony setup it says "MonoPrice 21614" as the device type.

It has 5 HDMI ports (1 in; 4 out), 3.5mm jacks for IR and RS232 (control), and a micro usb for power. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars works to split to Yamaha rx-v677 and 4K HDR tv *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017* I have an older surround sound system (Yamaha rx-v677) that has 4K pass through but does not have HDR capacity. Used the blackbird to split signal to my 4K HDR Roku TV and to the Yamaha. It worked, had to try each output to see which one would be seen as primary output and now I just select that input on the Yamaha and turn on my 4k HDR Blu-ray player and see the HDR detected indicator on the TV screen. (if just using the Yamaha as pass through would not display a HDR signal detected). I'm using 4K HDMI cables as input from Blu-ray player and out to the TV, but a non 4k HDMI cable to the Yamaha surround sound system, Surround detects 7.1 surround signal and sounds much better then when Blu-ray player was connected directly to the TV and used 5.1 ARC (audio return channel) back to the surround system. Now have great sound and great picture. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars HDCP error? Here's an affordable fix. *by B***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017* Roku stopped playing movies from personal media due to hdcp error. The older TV was from 2007 and not a smart tv and couldn't "authentic" anymore (over hdmi) due to an update the roku got. The non smart tv had no update to resolve the issue since it wasn't sorted any longer. After some research found a product like this would resolve the issue. Well I've used and trusted monoprice products before and it had good reviews. This was an excellent purchase as it resolved the issue without any further issue. It has been used for months without problem. The other solution of course was to replace the TV and frankly it works, no need to replace. Would recommend this product if running into same issue. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars IT would be fine if it took AA or AAA batteries *by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018* I got this because I had to send in my Receiver for repair and I wanted to retain my ability to switch sources in my rack. For the most part it works exactly as expected. I only had two issues:1. No battery for the remote. IT would be fine if it took AA or AAA batteries, but CR2025 are not that common to have around the house. I ended up stealing one from another remote until I could get it set up with my Harmony Remote.2. The IR works with the Harmony Remote, but unlike my other devices I can't just jack in with a 3.5mm cable from my IR distribution system so I had to use the included IR receiver. Not a huge thing, but I wish it would work like almost everything else I have with an IR input like that.3. My Roku Ultra won't do 4k at all with this thing. Granted, I'm not blaming this switch for this, I think it's actually the Roku. I had lots of troubles getting my Roku Ultra to work with my Receiver as well and it took a magic combination of cables and inputs on the Tv and Receiver to get it to work. Once again, I think this is the Roku's fault. Also note that my Roku is at least a 75-85' cable run from the TV. I use Monoprice fiber optic cables though and everything else works except a chromecast ultra, which also has problems. For instance, my Xbox One X has no problem doing 4k@60 with HDR through this.Over all I would recommend this in general. If you are using a Roku Ultra, I think it would work fine over shorter cables, though I have not tested this out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/42713855-monoprice-blackbird-4k-hdmi-1x8-splitter-extender-with-ir-loop](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/42713855-monoprice-blackbird-4k-hdmi-1x8-splitter-extender-with-ir-loop) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
