1. Product Introduction
Thanks for choosing the professional 4x2 HDMI 2.0 presentation switcher with an HDBaseT
receiver.The switcher is designed to switch HDMI or DP video signal to HDMI and HDBaseT
output. It provides three HDMI inputs, one DP input, one HDMI output and one HDBaseT
output. The HDBaseT output supports PoC and can connect compatible HDBaseT receiver
up to a maximum of 70 meters (230 feet).
The switcher supports input video resolution up to 4Kx2K@60Hz 4:4:4. With multiple
built-in EDID settings, including an EDID pass-through option, the highest quality digital
video signal will be routed directly to the display.
The switcher supports stereo and multichannel audio on the HDMI or DP input. In addition
to the audio embedded in the HDMI and HDBT output stream, which may be muted, the
audio is simultaneously de-embedded to an analog audio output.
The switcher features multiple methods of control. When set to Auto, the switcher will
automatically switch to the newest source device added to the switcher; when the active
source is removed, the switcher will switch to the first detected input. The switcher can be
manually controlled by front panel buttons, IR, RS232, and GUI.
1.1 Features
The transmission distance between the switcher and the HDBaseT receiver can range up
to 70m for 1080p and 40m for 4K video.
Supports automatic switching.
HDMI and DP video resolution up to 4Kx2K@60Hz 4:4:4.
Supports HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 compliant.
