2x2 HDMI Matrix with Audio Extraction

This professional 2x2 HDMI matrix switcher routes two source devices to two displays independently or simultaneously. It supports HDMI 2.0b bandwidth up to 18.5 Gbps for 4K resolution at 60 Hz with HDR, 3D and RGB 8:8:8 colour sampling. An integrated optical SPDIF port and 3.5 mm stereo jack extract audio separately for external sound systems. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures protected content plays without interruption.

Ideal for dual-screen setups

The unit suits home theatres, gaming rooms, offices and monitoring stations that need flexible dual-source, dual-display switching with independent audio output. It is not for installations requiring more than two inputs or two outputs, nor for applications that demand higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond the stated 4K 60 Hz capability.

Decisive spec: 2x2 matrix with HDCP 2.2

The defining specification is the 2x2 matrix architecture combined with HDCP 2.2 support on HDMI 2.0b. This determines whether the switcher can handle your exact source and display count while passing protected 4K 60 Hz streams. If your layout needs more ports or different HDCP handling, this model will not fit.

Questions about this item

What size HDMI cables and rack space does this 2x2 matrix switcher need?

The unit has four HDMI ports and fits on a desk or shelf; standard HDMI cables connect the two sources and two displays without special brackets.

How do I set up the IR remote and the one step users often miss?

Insert batteries in the remote, point it at the front IR window, and press the input or output buttons to route each source; the step often missed is selecting the correct output before choosing the input.

When should I replace the optical SPDIF or 3.5mm audio cables?

Replace them if you hear crackling, drop-outs, or no sound from the extracted audio while the HDMI video remains stable.
