Key Features
4K 30Hz Ultra HD Resolution
Full support for crisp 3840 × 2160 @ 30Hz signals. Delivers stunning video fidelity that remains perfectly backward compatible with legacy standard HD sources.
0-Second Seamless Viewing
Immediate signal source switching guarantees absolutely zero latency or annoying black screens, creating an uninterrupted, fluid presentation workflow.
Integrated Video Scaler Function
Supports fixed hardware up-frequency and down-frequency resolution output matching to achieve optimized pixel consistency across diverse display terminals.
Smart Signal Detection & Scan
Automatically triggers an intelligent 3-second channel scan upon boot. Prioritizes and broadcasts backward signals first to cut deployment complexity.
Dedicated Audio Extraction & ARC
Isolates and outputs independent analog audio over a 3.5mm stereo jack directly to external soundbars or mixers. Native support for HDMI ARC included.
RS-232 Remote Serial Protocol
Fully compatible with automated commercial control desks. Allows real-time remote commands and full input terminal EDID management.
