PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN VM0404HB 4 x 4 True 4K HDMI Matrix Switch - 2 Years Local Warranty
Route Any Source to Any Display
The VM0404HB connects 4 HDMI sources to 4 HDMI displays and lets you send any input to any output, or the same input to several outputs at once. It suits meeting rooms, classrooms, control rooms, retail signage and broadcast monitoring where several screens need different content.
True 4K at 60 Hz 4:4:4
Each port handles up to 4096 x 2160 / 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 colour, an 18 Gbps data rate and HDR10+. HDCP 2.2 and lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio pass through.
Control It Your Way
Switch from the front-panel pushbuttons, the supplied IR remote, RS-232, or over Ethernet via the Web GUI or Telnet, so it drops easily into a room control system. CEC lets connected displays respond to commands.
EDID Expert and Rack Mounting
ATEN EDID Expert (Default, Port 1, Remix or Customised modes) helps every source pick the best resolution for the displays attached. The metal 1U chassis ships with a rack mounting kit.
