This 8 by 2 multi-format scaling switcher provides HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, and VGA inputs which can be freely selected for output at a scaled resolution of the user’s choosing over the mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT™ outputs. The HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C inputs and HDMI output support resolutions up to 4K@60 (4:4:4, 8-bit) while the VGA input supports resolutions up to WUXGA. The HDBaseT™ output supports automatic color subsampling of 4K50/60(4:4:4) sources to 4K50/60(4:2:0) and provides a great solution to extend your audio and video up to 100 meters over a single run of CAT6A cable as well as providing PoH power to a compatible HDBaseT™ receiver.

This unit also includes multiple analog stereo audio inputs and a microphone input along with an amplified analog stereo output to provide a range of audio routing and mixing flexibility. The built-in audio mixer function allows the user to mix audio from any LPCM 2.0 source with the microphone input for presentation or lecture usage. The ability to switch back and forth between mixed and non-mixed audio greatly simplifies the presentation experience.

A trigger input interface is also provided to allow the easy addition of a remote control keypad, or other trigger-supporting products, which can be installed within a podium or within a table in a conference room or classroom. This interface can allow the user to activate functions with the simple press of a button. Standard control is available via front panel buttons with an On-Screen Display (OSD), WebGUI, Telnet, Triggers, and RS-232 making it exceptionally versatile.This product has a 3 year warranty.
