2x2 HDMI matrix switcher
The StarTech VS222HDQ routes two HDMI sources to two independent displays, letting operators show different sources on each screen or mirror one source across both. It suits live-production desks, small studios and presentation rooms that need reliable manual or automatic switching without a full video mixer.
1080p resolution ceiling
The unit accepts and outputs up to 1920x1200 or 1080p at 60 Hz, with 7.1 surround-sound pass-through. EDID copy and connection emulation keep each source locked to its native timing during transitions, so displays never renegotiate or flicker when you switch.
33-foot cable reach and 18 W draw
Each HDMI run can extend 33 ft before signal quality degrades, and the switcher draws 18 W from the included 12 V DC adapter (100-240 V AC input). Automatic, priority and manual selection modes cover unattended failover and hands-on cueing, but the two-input limit means larger multi-camera shows need a bigger matrix.

Questions about this item
How does the 1080p resolution limit affect what I see on my monitors?
The switcher passes up to 1920x1200 or 1080p to each display, so higher-resolution sources will be downscaled to that ceiling while 720p and 1080p content appears at native quality.
What does the HDMI 19-pin interface cap in real use?
Each of the four 19-pin HDMI ports handles video up to 1080p and 7.1 surround audio, with reliable cable runs up to 33 ft before signal degradation becomes noticeable.
What physical space and mounting options does the unit need?
The chassis measures .80 x 6.20 x 2.60 in and weighs .64 lb; it ships with a foot-pad set and a mounting kit for desktop or rack installation.
