4x4 HDTV Matrix

Connect and access any four sources from up to four displays

4 Sources + 4 Displays = An Easily Integrated HDTV Matrix System

The 4x4 HDTV Matrix routes high definition video in multiple resolutions up to 1080p from any of
the four HDTV sources to the displays. Four outputs gives you the choice of sending high definition
video signals up to four displays. Any four to any four matrix switching allows for maximum
versatility for integrated systems. The 4x4 HDTV Switcher eliminates the need to disconnect and
reconnect sources to a display equipped with one input. It works with HD-DVD players, TiVo
systems, HT PCs, and satellite set top boxes that connect to a DVI display. Every source is
accessible at all times by any display by selecting it with an IR remote.

Fully HDCP Compliant

HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) is a standard encoded into the video signal to
prevent it from being pirated. If a source device is HDCP coded and is connected to a display or
projector without the proper decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to "snow" or in some
cases, very low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see high resolution digital video with
HDCP compliance, both the source, the display and anything in between must be equipped with
HDMI/DVI connections that can enable HDCP decoding, such as the 4x4 HDTV Matrix.

How It Works

You simply connect the sources to the Matrix's inputs. Then connect four displays to the Matrix's
outputs. Once the sources, the matrix and the displays are powered and connected, you simply
select which sources you want view on which displays using the IR remote.
