INTRODUCTION
The BG-UHD-44M HDMI 2.0a Matrix provides the most flexible and cost-effective solution in the
market to route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel) digital audio
from any of the four HDMI sources to the remote displays at the same time. BG-UHD-44M18G supports
HDR and the true 4K2K video! Besides, BG-UHD-44M18G supports auto downscale from 4K2K to
1080P. With this benefit function, the matrix device compatibility will be better.
With the upmost HDR/4K2K@60 4:4:4 8bits and high definition audio support, BG-UHD-44M18G is
well suited for use in home theater, conference room presentation systems, or other similar
setting or application.
