NOTE 1: The HDMI matrix switcher "does not have" SPDIF and Optical audio inputs. The audio inputs are via HDMI and this 4X2 HDMI Matrix Switcher decodes the HDMI data stream and outputs the digital audio via SPDIF (RCA) and Optical audio along with the internal HDMI audio.

This 4X2 HDMI Matrix switch audio section inherent in the HDMI 1.3 compliant signal is compliant with the following audio standards:

• Dolby Digital
• Dolby Digital Plus
• Dolby TrueHD (2 CH)
• DTS
• DTS-HD

NOTE 2: The SPDIF and Optical audio outputs are LPCM 2-channel, Dolby 5.1 or DTS 5.1.

This 4X2 HDMI Switcher with digital audio supports a maximum bandwidth of 1.65Gbps and provide a sharp and highly defined video in multiple resolutions up to 1080p. Because it is a matrix switcher, it allows either of the 4 inputs to be routed to either output; or the same input to be routed to both outputs.

The remote control has 4 input buttons and 4 output buttons with 2 active as it is shared with our 4X4 matrix switcher. There is no discrete off and on as the unit should remain on most of the time. It completely eliminates the need to constantly move around video input and output cables. An RS-232 control allows the switcher to be controlled by systems like Crestron or any computerized software/hardware control system. The switcher can can be controlled via the IR remote as well. This 4X2 HDMI Matrix Switcher supports the new Blu-ray DVD players that output 24 frames per second i.e. 1080p/24 as well as the new HDTV's that have the 1080p 120/240 option to support 24 FPS. You get an awesome picture with this technology and our 4X2 HDMI Matrix Switchers. The 4X2 matrix switcher splits the incoming HDMI signal into the standard HDMI audio / video signal as well as converts its associated SPDIF and Optical audio to outputs. You then can route this digital audio to your surround sound receiver.

Control of this switcher can be managed via its front-panel control, IR remote control, RS-232, or our optional RS-232 to Ethernet Converter. The RS-232 to Ethernet Converter allows control of the unit from anywhere in the world given you know how to write RS-232 code and have the correct serial Ethernet hardware.
