VigilLink VLMX-0404E 4x4 HDMI 2.0 Matrix Switcher with 4K to 1080p Downscaling and Display Control

The VigilLink VLMX-0404E is a high-performance 4x4 HDMI 2.0 Matrix Switcher designed to seamlessly route four HDMI 2.0 sources to four HDMI 2.0 displays. Each input and output supports resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, ensuring pristine image quality for the most demanding applications. With compliance to HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4 standards, this matrix switcher guarantees compatibility with the latest 4K content protection protocols, making it ideal for both residential and commercial installations.

One of the standout features of the VLMX-0404E is its ability to individually scale each output to 1080p. This flexibility allows integrators to accommodate a mix of 4K and 1080p displays within the same setup, ensuring optimal viewing experiences across all screens. Additionally, the device offers de-embedded audio outputs in both analog L/R and coaxial formats for each output, providing versatile audio distribution options to suit various system requirements.

The VLMX-0404E also incorporates an Audio Return Channel (ARC) function, enabling the return of audio from compatible display devices to the coaxial port output. This feature simplifies audio system integration by reducing the need for additional cables. Advanced EDID management ensures seamless communication between sources and displays, optimizing performance and compatibility. Control options are extensive, including front panel buttons, RS-232, IR remote, and TCP/IP, offering integrators multiple methods to manage and configure the system efficiently.
