Introduction
Features
Package Contents
AT-HDMI-42M is a high performance HDMI™ Matrix with remote control. It offers you maxi-
mum convenience in HDMI™ signal distribution when you have multiple HDMI™ sources and
displays to connect together. Each of the four HDMI™ sources can be directed to any one of
the two outputs, so two displays can show 2 identical or 2 different sources at the same time.
AT-HDMI-42M provides a maximum of 8 possible connection scenarios between sources and
displays.
When HDMI™ signal progresses through AT-HDMI-42M, it is re-timed, level compensated,
phase error corrected, and data jitter eliminated, so the output is a regenerated brand new
HDMI™ signal that can run for another 25 meters and can be cascaded.
1. HDMI™ version 1.3, HDCP 1.1 and DVI 1.0 compliant.
2. HDMI™ input is compensated, clock / phase adjusted, and jitter eliminated so the output
is a well tuned standard HDMI™ signal.
3. Input source LED indicators on each output select.
4. Ideal for home theater integration, conference room and retail stores.
5. Compatible with all HDMI™ sources and displays.
6. Supports high resolution input/output:
PC: VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA (1600X1200) &
HDTV: 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 1080i, and 1080p
7. RS-232 control.
