4-Port HDMI Switch with Dual Displays
The ATEN VS482 routes four HDMI sources to two independent displays. It supports HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and WUXGA at 1920 x 1200. HDCP compatibility and Audio Return Channel allow protected content and simplified audio cabling. Front-panel buttons, an IR remote and RS-232 give multiple control options.
Suits installers needing matrix switching without 4K
Integrators who need to distribute 1080p or WUXGA signals to two screens from four sources will find the feature set complete. Buyers who require 4K resolution, HDR metadata pass-through or HDMI 2.1 bandwidth should consider other models. The unit also lacks built-in scaling, so source and display must share a supported timing.
Dual HDMI outputs with ARC support
The defining specification is the pair of HDMI outputs, one of which carries Audio Return Channel for sending display audio back to a receiver. This lets a single switch handle both video routing and return audio without extra cabling. All other connectivity — Toslink, RCA, DB-9 and 3.5 mm jack — serves that core two-display architecture.

Questions about this item
How do I decide between the four HDMI inputs and the single ARC output for my setup?
Connect up to four source devices to the four HDMI inputs, then route any source to either of the two HDMI display outputs; use the dedicated ARC output when you need audio returned from a display to an audio receiver.
What does the 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution mean for my connected displays?
The switch passes HDTV signals up to 1080p and PC signals up to WUXGA 1920 x 1200, so both displays can show full HD or WUXGA content without downscaling.
How does the ARC function work with the HDMI and digital audio ports?
Connect an HDMI cable to the ARC-designated output to send display-originated audio back through the switch to the Toslink or RCA digital audio ports for your receiver.
