4x4 HDMI® Matrix Video Switch Splitter with Audio and RS232
StarTech ID: VS440HDMI
The VS440HDMI 4x4 HDMI® Audio/Video Matrix Switch/Splitter (with Audio and RS232) lets you share up to 4
distinct HDMI or DVI inputs (using HDMI to DVI adapters - not included), with audio, between 4 independent
displays or projectors.
Providing convenient front push-button and RS232 PC software control, this matrix switch allows each input and
the corresponding audio to be switched individually, meaning that different A/V sources can be shown on each
output, or a single source can be output to several offering maximum flexibility.
The switcher features a front panel LCD display for easy status monitoring, plus an included remote control and
IR extender module for simple control from a distance.
Designed to provide maximum functionality while saving space, the HDMI Video Matrix Switch can be used as a
standalone solution or rack-mounted using ear-mounts (included).
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
