1. INTRODUCTION
This 4 by 2 HDMI Matrix with PiP is a high performance HDMI switch with
integrated scaling and multi-windowing technology which can connect
up to four 4K UHD+HDMI sources to up to two 4K UHD+HDMI displays
and freely switch between them. It is an ideal solution for monitoring
or displaying multiple sources simultaneously for use in control rooms,
conference rooms or classrooms. Video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz and
LPCM audio up to 7.1 channels at 192kHz are supported and this unit is
fully compatible with the HDCP 1.x and 2.2 standards.
Any of 4 dierent HDMI sources may be displayed individually, full screen,
with seamless switching in Matrix mode, or they can be displayed using
a variety of multi-window modes including standard views like PiP
(Picture in Picture) and PoP (Picture outside of Picture) as well as fully
customizable quad-window modes. Control of input/window routing,
position and sizing is easy using the front panel controls with OSD menu
as well as by WebGUI, RS-232, and Telnet.
