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,
12-bit HDR). The included USB-C input complies with the USB 3.0 standard
and supports audio/video bypass, and device charging, as well as the ability
to provide a network connection.
This matrix also includes standard USB 3.0 hub functionality with two host
ports (one Type-B and one Type-C), plus two device ports (Type-A) for a
flexible KVM configuration. It is ideal for use in meeting rooms or classrooms.
This unit is controllable via front panel controls, WebGUI, Telnet and RS-232.

full bandwidth 4K60 A/V content but USB data functionality will be limited
to USB 2.0 levels.
Note: Not all devices with USB Type-C ports can support video output.
Please verify that the device supports video output from the USB Type-C
port before attempting to use it as a video source.
2 HDMI IN 1 & 2 Ports: Connect to HDMI source equipment such as
media players, game consoles, or set-top boxes. DVI sources are
supported with the use of an HDMI to DVI adapter.
3 HDMI OUT A & B Ports: Connect to HDMI TVs, monitors, or amplifiers
for digital video and audio output.
