The switch also handles HDMI audio passthrough so your headset or speakers deliver immersive sound without extra dongles. For consoles and PCs that support HDR, the Nexus 3-Port helps preserve vibrant color and dynamic range, enhancing both work and play environments.
• Fast, reliable switching with clear indicators: Quickly toggle between connected devices using the front-panel pushbutton for instant control. LED indicators on the panel provide a clear, at-a-glance view of which device is active, so you never wonder which input is live. Keyboard hotkeys offer another convenient method to switch—perfect for gamers and power users who want to stay in the flow without reaching for the switch. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted workflow and gaming experience with minimal interruption between sessions.
