This 4X4 HDMI Matrix Switcher comes with digital audio outputs, RS-232 and and IR Remote. It is designed to work as a switcher for multiple sources and displays.

Control of this 4X4 HDMI switcher can be managed via its front-panel control, IR remote control, RS-232, or the optional TCP/IP Ethernet Converter. The Ethernet Converter allows control of the unit from anywhere in the world given you have the correct serial Ethernet hardware. The 4X4 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.

Because this is a matrix switcher it allows any input to be routed to any output or the same input to be routed to all outputs. The 4-in, 4-out HDMI matrix switcher switches HDMI signals in any of 256 combinations.

Optional LAN Operation: There is a button 'set IP' on the user interface of the RS232 control software. The user can set the matrix in a static IP mode or an auto IP mode.

NOTE 1: The HDMI matrix switcher "does not have" SPDIF and Optical audio inputs. The audio inputs are via HDMI and this 4X4 HDMI Matrix Switcher decodes the HDMI 1.2 data stream and outputs the digital audio via SPDIF (RCA) and Optical audio along with the internal HDMI audio.

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

This 4X4 HDMI Switcher with digital audio supports a maximum bandwidth of 1.65 Gbps 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. 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 also be controlled via the IR remote and optional TCP/IP control as well.

Other special features of the 4X4 HDMI Matrix Switcher is the RS-232 Control, which allows connecting to a PC to automatically switch the sources on a timer arrangement. You can also use the RS-232 control to set up your PC to interface with the switcher in various ways.

RS-232 data rate specs:

• Baud rate: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8bits
• Parity: None
• Stop bit: 1
• Flow control: None

4X4 HDMI Matrix Switch with Digital Audio Operation:

1. Connect the HDMI input sources (such as HD-DVD, PS3, STB etc) into Matrix Switch.
2. Connect the HDMI outputs (such as HD-LCD, HD-DLP) into the Matrix Switch.
3. Power on the input source you want to show. (Keep the unused input power off, otherwise it may interfere the normal display.)
4. Connect the power supply into Matrix Switch and turn on the display you want to watch.
5. Use remote or push the button to choose input source.

NOTE: This matrix switcher has memory. When restarting this machine, input selection would be fixed as it was before. Also Insert / Extract cables gently.
