HDMI Matrix Switch: Enables switching between multiple HD sources and multiple HD displays

The HDMI Matrix Switch routes high definition video from many HDMI sources to many HDMI displays. The matrix format allows for versatility and eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect sources to a display with a single input. By using this device, a user ensures a versatile environment wherein he can literally have the same program material displayed on all HDMI outputs, or can use the device to send signals from different sources to different displays simultaneously. Beneficial to end users, this switcher operates on High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology which provides HD video and multi-channel audio through a single cable.

This type of Video Matrix Switch works with any source which is connected to a HDMI display. Working on the plug and play methodology, the inputs of this device need to be connected to the HDMI sources and the displays to the outputs of the matrix. Once power is applied the matrix is ready for use. Switching between the sources and outputs is easy and can be done via front-panel manual control buttons, Infra Red Remote Control or via RS-232. The front-panel LED's indicate which input has been selected. A key feature of this device is the ability to maintain high resolution video up to 1080p and computer resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Certified by CE, FCC and ROHS and being HDMI and HDCP compliant, this HDMI Matrix Switcher ensures that the video signal is not pirated and the viewer gets to see crystal clear and crisp high resolution images. Available in many models such as 2x2, 4x2 and 4x4, this device has the ability to overlook those input sources which are not in use.

Larger distributions can be achieved as this device can be daisy chained or stacked and hence offers multiple viewing combinations. It can support a Video Amplifier Bandwidth up to 2.25Gpbs/225MHz and works with HD-DVD players, TiVo systems, PCs, and satellite set top boxes that connect to an HDMI display. People who have a HD monitor with less than the desired number of HDMI inputs can use the HDMI Matrix Switch to expand the system. Digital Signage, Commercial installations and home theaters are some examples of high definition video applications where this device is being used.

Video Matrix Switch: Route Your Video Smartly

A Video Matrix Switch is an amalgamation of a video splitter and a video switch which facilitates broadcasting of video output from multiple sources to multiple displays. Audio and video signals can both be broadcasted using these switches. These devices allow a single computer’s video signals to be distributed to multiple outputs and equips the user with the choice to easily switch between multiple video sources as well. A user no longer has to indulge in cable swapping for multiple display and can avoid unnecessary clutter caused due to multiple cables. The video routing switcher lets you individually route any or all inputs to any output or outputs all at the same time.

These video matrix switches are available in various configurations ranging from 2x2 to a 32x16. The matrix switcher distributes and switches video and audio signals from the source to destination covering a distance of up to 1000 feet. Crisp and clear resolution up to 1900x 1200 can be achieved by these devices due to the simple reason that these devices act as distribution amplifiers. They support operating systems like Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, Mac and Sun. Also known as video routers, these devices can be controlled via push buttons on the front of the unit or via IR remote control and RS232 ports. A video matrix is equipped with Liquid Crystal Display for simple front panel operation. A key feature of this matrix switch is that each input can be independently connected to any or all outputs.

In order to achieve large configurations, these units can be cascaded allowing additonal sources to be included in the configuration. Various types of these matrix switchers are available in the market such as the cat5 vga, audio, component, composite, dvi, hdmi, Rackmount ip kvm, and vga types.

A video matrix switch is ideal for presentations and applications where information from multiple computers is being delivered to multiple destinations such as classrooms, exhibitions, trade shows, demonstrations, multi media presentations, entertainment facilities, casinos, hotels and courtrooms.
