Introduction

The HDMI

™

3x HDMI

™

+ 1x USB-C 4K switcher 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 features a display or

projector with three HDMI-enabled video sources and one USB-C-enabled video

source. The switcher features four independent (3 for HDMI

™

and 1 for USB-C)

inputs that each support 4K resolution and 7.1 surround sound audio. It's amazing

how this video switch maintains Ultra HD picture quality. 4K is supported by the

latest A/V devices and delivers four times the resolution of 1080p. Plus, because

the switch is backward compatible with high definition 1080p, rest assured any

video source will look great in your digital signage application. Enjoy hassle-free

operation with three different switching modes:

1. Manual Port Switching: Enables manual selection for HDMI

™

source with an

easy-to-use panel button.

2. Remote Control Switching: Enables controlling the switch at a distance.

3. Automatic Port Switching: Enables the most recently activated video source to

be displayed automatically.

It also features the Automatic and Manual Switching mode change function and IR

receiver on/off function via a long press of the switch button for 3 and 6 seconds

to meet customers’ needs. And it affords a USB-A and USB-C port for charging

which needs a power supply below 5 watts (5V 1A) max each using the charging

port, non-simultaneously.

notebook's USB-C output must have enough bandwidth (compatible with the

DP 1.4 standard or thunderbolt 3) to transmit the 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 signal.

3. The USB-C cable must be a USB 3.1 standard cable (not included) that supports
