The Zektor HDS4.1 is a 4 input, 1 output component video switch has inputs for (Y-Pr-Pb) component video, L & R analog audio channels, and an extra channel for composite video. Both Toslink and SPDIF digital audio channels are also supported as well. It replaces their very popular Zektor HDS4 component switch and the Zektor MAS3 5.1 audio switcher.
The Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch also makes a stand alone excellent 5.1 multichannel audio switch and 2 make up a 7.1 multichannel audio switch. For noise free operation and to prevent ground loops, analog grounds are fully isolated from the digital grounds.
The Zektor HDS4.1 can also be used in reverse as a one input, four output switcher if desired. Digital audio cannot be switched in reverse, though.
This 1080p component video switch can be used with:
- High definition Dish Network and DirecTV receivers with component outputs
- High definition TiVo's with component outputs
- High definition cable receivers with component outputs
- WII, Sony PS2, PS3, HD DVD and Blu-ray DVD players with component outputs
- Any Xbox with component outputs
- Any DVD player with component outputs
- A/V surround sound receivers / preamps with component switching
- PC video cards with Y-Pb-Pr (see your manual) component outputs
- and other similar devices with component outputs.
The component switcher will not only support a 150 MHz 1080p signal but of course will support resolutions of 480i / 480p / 720p and 1080i.
Zektor HDS4.1 Component Video Switch Features:
- Four Inputs and One Component Video Output
- It supports all HDTV modes like 480i through 1080p, including 720p and 1080i.
- Each input consists of six analog channels (Y-Pr-Pb, Left/Right and CV) and one channel of digital audio
- Analog audio channels are routed using the same high-bandwith relay switches as the video channels, and can be used to route H & V components (with proper adapter cables) for an RGB-HV switch which supports all RGB-HV PC modes.
High Quality Gold Clad, Silver-Palladium Relays: All analog signals are switched using high quality relays with gold clad, silver-palladium (AgPd) contacts. The combination of gold clad on silver-palladium while expensive, holds the highest rating for long life, when switching low level signals such as those found in analog audio and video paths. Each analog channel of the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch is routed using a separate relay, thus reducing the possibility of cross talk between channels, when compared to the less expensive design of using multi-contact relays where multiple signals are routed through a single relay.
Passive Switching of Analog Signals: The Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch passively switches its analog signals using high quality relays designed specifically for switching low level signals such as those used in the audio and component video paths. When compared to an active analog switch (using analog switching ICs), relays are usually a more expensive solution for routing signals. However relays offer a switching quality like that of physically swapping cables, without the added noise and distortion that is inherent in active switches. This also allows the HDS4.1 to be used in reverse. The Output can be used as an input and switched to each of four outputs.
5.1 Multichannel Audio Switch: Since there are six available relay switched analog channels, the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch can easily be converted to a four to one 5.1 multi-channel audio switch. The fully passive design, and full isolation of the digital and analog grounds, makes the Zektor HDS4.1 ideal for switching analog audio signals. Component video switching cannot be used then. The switch replaces the Zektor MAS3.
The relay based, passive, 5.1 inputs and outputs are labeled:
7.1 Multichannel Audio Switch: Two (2) Zektor HDS4.1 component video switches can be wired in parallel and be used as a 7.1 multichannel audio switch. The fully passive design, and full isolation of the digital and analog grounds makes the Zektor HDS4.1 ideal for switching analog audio signals.
If you require a dedicated 5.1 / 7.1 analog audio switcher see the Zektor MAS7.
Fully isolated analog grounds: The Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch features full isolation of its analog and digital grounds to eliminate digital noise from being superimposed on its analog signals, and to help eliminated ground loop problems.
Gold Plated Connections: Gold plated RCA connectors are used throughout the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch design to reduce the possibility of contact generated noise caused by corrosion.
High Quality Gold Clad, Silver-Palladium Relays: All analog signals are switched using high quality relays with gold clad, silver-palladium (AgPd) contacts. The combination of gold clad on silver-palladium while expensive, holds the highest rating for long life, when switching low level signals such as those found in analog audio and video paths. Each analog channel of the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch is routed using a separate relay, thus reducing the possibility of cross talk between channels, when compared to the less expensive design of using multi-contact relays where multiple signals are routed through a single relay.
Toslink and SPDIF Digital Audio: Both Toslink (Optical) and SPDIF (Coax) can be routed through the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch. Either input will be accepted and both Toslink and SPDIF are available as outputs simultaneously. All conversions between formats are done as needed.
Zektor HDS4.1 Component Video Switcher Features:
Exclusive IIR Learning: The Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch features Zektor's exclusive IIR (Intelligent Infra-Red) learning. Zektor's IIR learning allows the HDS4.1 to work with virtually any remote control! Control the HDS4.1 with an obsolete TV remote. The Zektor HDS4.1 also works great with any universal remote control.
Front Panel Control of Switching: Front panel buttons are available to directly select each input on the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch. You are not forced to sequence through all inputs when switching from input two back to input one!
Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch Full Featured Remote Control Interface: A full featured IR command set is available using any remote control, commands are: Power Toggle, Direct Channel Selection of each input, and for better integration with universal remotes with macro capabilities, the discrete commands Power On, and Power Off are also available.
Auto Dimming Display: The LED indicator lights can be set to Bright, Dim, Auto Dim, or Off. The Auto Dim mode will fade the LEDs from the Bright setting to the Dim setting about 4 seconds after a channel is selected.
Adjustable Front Panel LED Intensities: The intensity levels of the front panel LEDs are fully adjustable, allowing the Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch to be used in a wide range of lighting conditions. The front panel can even be made to gently dim its front panels lights to 'off' when the front panel is inactive.
Zektor HDS4.1 component video switch Rack Mountable Metal Enclosure (1RU): Enclosed in a heavy gauged, steel chassis, and with fully adjustable front panel LED intensities, the HDS4.1 easily integrates into your existing home theater environment.
