2x2 HDMI Matrix Switch - 4K with Fast Switching and Auto-Sensing

StarTech ID: VS222HD4K

Save time and hassle by automatically switching between your HDMI audio/video sources. This 2x2 HDMI®
matrix switcher provides the ultimate viewing experience, with support for Ultra HD 4K. It lets you connect two
HDMI sources to two HDMI displays, with exceptional 4K resolution, while switching seamlessly between your
video sources.

Impressive image quality with 4K support

The matrix switch supports Ultra HD 4K picture quality on two monitors while switching between content from
HDMI source devices - including Blu-ray™ players or DVD players, computer systems, video game consoles,
digital cable or satellite boxes, and A/V receivers.

4K support ensures a higher level of image clarity and visibility, delivering four times the resolution of 1080p -

8.29 million pixels versus 2.07 million pixels. It provides a more engaging visual experience for audiences in a
wide range of venues including conference centers, boardrooms, educational facilities, and commercial settings.
With its exceptional image quality, 4K resolution is also ideal for bringing your digital signage to life.

Fast and versatile switching options

Enjoy hassle-free operation with four different switching modes:

Matrix switching: lets you route either HDMI source (Input 1 or Input 2) to either monitor (Output 2 or
Output 3) - and independently switch two displays between two video sources.

Fast auto-switching: ensures minimal time for switching between HDMI sources. The switch provides
effortless operation with advanced auto-sensing - it detects the latest connected HDMI source and
automatically switches both outputs to that device. It also ensures no downtime in a digital signage
application if a source signal is accidentally powered off or fails.

Priority switching: identifies the first port to have first priority for HDMI sources, which will be output on

both displays.

Manual switching: enables you to manually select your HDMI source with front-panel buttons that are
easy to use.

An IR remote control is included in the box, enabling you to select your desired input source remotely. The RS­232 serial control interface ensures easy remote operation with serial control enabled devices.

Hassle-free setup with plug-and-play installation

The matrix switch is easy to install. EDID emulation saves you time during setup by ensuring all of your display
settings, such as native resolution and refresh rate, are communicated between your display and video source
devices. The built-in EDID copy feature maximizes compatibility with your 4K display, to ensure a convenient
plug-and-play installation and the sharpest image quality.

The VS222HD4K is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support.
