SSW-HD-4
1.0 Introduction
The SSW-HD-4 is a 4x1 HDMI seamless video switch with multi-view capabilities
where all inputs can be shown in real-time (60 frames per second) on the output in a
variety of modes. When only one input is shown, switching between different inputs
is completely seamless (with zero delay transition). The switcher supports Input and
Output resolutions up to 1080p Full HD.
The SSW can display four Hi-definition sources on a single display and comes with
pre-configured multi-view layouts (4 equal images as shown here, or one large and 3
smaller windows in various positions).
Individual buttons for each input allow quick selection from the front panel. Control
of switching and multi-view window layouts can be accessed via Front panel, IR
remote control (included), RS-232, or a PC GUI (that controls the device via RS-
232).
The product is shipped with rack ears for 1U rack mounting.
