1. Product Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the professional 4x2 matrix switcher! The switcher is a
four-input by two-output matrix switcher with two HDBaseT inputs, two HDMI inputs and
two HDBaseT + HDMI outputs. The switcher transmits 4K video to distances up to 131
feet (40 meters) and 1080p video to distances up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single
CATx cable. The HDBaseT inputs and outputs support 48V Power over Cable (PoC)
feature, allowing the compatible transmitters and receivers to draw their power from the
matrix over the CATx cable.
The matrix supports downscaling so a 4K video input can automatically be down scaled
to a 1080p output when connecting a display that only supports resolution up to 1080p.
Moreover, the matrix switcher features comprehensive EDID management and
advanced HDCP handing to ensure maximum functionality with a wide range of video
sources. The switcher offers IR, RS232 and TCP/IP control options.

⚫HDBaseT inputs and outputs support 48V PoC, allowing the transmitters and
receivers to draw their power from the matrix switcher over CATxcables.
⚫Visually lossless video de-compression and compression for HDMI signals
transmission up to 40m at 4K and 70m at 1080p on HDBaseT inputs andoutputs.
