Introduction
The BG-UHD44MA is a 4x4 HDMI matrix switcher with audio breakouts. It supports HDMI 2.0
and HDCP 2.2 with resolution support up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 plus all 3D formats with HDR
output support for each channel. It routes four Hi-Def sources to any four HDTV displays,
along with multichannel digital audio formats such as Dolby® True HD and DTS-HD® Master
Audio™. Each source can be routed to any display using the Push Buttons, IR, RS232 and
GUI.
Features
