These switchers connect multiple HDMI input sources with several display devices. With local, cabled and IR remote control switching, they are intended for commercial and residential AV systems, digital signage, IT and control room applications where it may be necessary to distribute HDMI content to multiple display devices.
The HDMI switchers are HDCP 1.3 compliant and support up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30Hz, 1080p at 120Hz, 3D and 48-bit deep colour. They also support LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby Atmos. They are cased in a metal enclosure.
A series of EDID (Extended Display Information Data) management modes provide some user control and define how EDID information is managed. EDID is 'carefully handled by the HDMI Matrix to provide a single EDID for each source to read'.
