The HSW44C 4x4 HDMI Matrix Switch with CAT5 Output provides the most flexible and cost effective solution
in the market to route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel) digital audio from any
of the four HDMI sources to the remote displays at the same time. Through low cost CAT5/5e/6 LAN cables, not
only high quality video and audio can be transmitted to the display sites, but also users can switch among 4 HDMI
sources using the push button or remote control. With single power design at the source site, each remote
module is easily installed without power supply. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function makes users at
display site access the DVD player, PS3 or any HDMI equipped devices directly!
