FEATURES
High Quality Picture - No Signal Loss and Digital Noise Free
Our switchers are built to deliver the highest quality picture preserving the native resolutions of
the video sources without any signal loss. At the same time, the digital noises that may affect
the picture quality will be eliminated. Due to the nature of the digital signals passing through
multiple stages, it is important to eliminate the digital noises and boost the signal strength to
preserve/enhance the video signal quality.
Signal Amplification for signal reliability and long length signal transmission. Our 5V
power adapter supplies adequate power to amplify the video signals from different video
sources. This is necessary as the overall length from the video source to the displays is longer
when using a switcher(distance from the video source to the switcher + distance from the
switcher to the display). In most cases, the overall distance that the HDMI signal will need to
travel is over 10ft. Due to the nature of HDMI signals, amplification is necessary to preserve the
video quality and reliability. (Without amplification, there may be occasional blackouts or blinking
effects),. With this amplification feature, cable runs can be increased.
Compact and Practical Design
Our switchers have all of the HDMI ports, power supply jack and RS232 port in the back of the
unit allowing it be mounted on any racks or with any other components. In the front, there is a
remote control sensor, selector switch, RS232 LED indicators and channel indicators.
Remote Control Unit with Discreet Channel selections
Remote Control Units with discreet channel selection feature are included in all our switchers.
The channel buttons on the remote control unit will allow you to change video sources easily
and quickly.
RS232 CONTROL
Our switchers also feature RS232 Control. Our switches are capable of being controlled by a
remote computer. This is extremely helpful for many applications where you need to
automatically switch the video inputs. Example: If you connect a PC to our switcher, you can
program it to automatically switch the sources. If you want to display input 1 for 1 hour and then
switch to input 2, you can do this with the PC. The RS232 LED indicators in the front will allow
you to check the communication between the PC and the switch. Most other products require
additional control box for this function.
