1. INTRODUCTION
This 3×2 matrix switch is designed for use in environments needing a wide
range of flexibility when it comes to inputs, outputs, and control. The two
most common video input interfaces (HDMI, USB-C) are included along with
a pair of HDMI outputs and a single analog audio breakout port, providing
the ultimate in source compatibility and flexibility.
All inputs and outputs on this unit are HDCP 2.2 compliant and provide
support for resolutions up to a maximum of 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit or 4:2:0,
