Matrix Switches
Technically known as an HDMI multi-input to multi-output switch or an Audio/Video router, a HDMI matrix switch routes signals from multiple AV sources to multiple AV destinations. These matrix switches accept data from a wide array of input devices like cable box, gaming consoles, computers, etc. and port them into different display options including TVs, projectors and monitors.
Deploying a video matrix switch in any system benefits in reducing overall unwanted wiring and saves the total required space. They are also exceptional for cutting the equipment installation budget. As most switches work through a HDMI port, users can achieve resolutions up to 4K with 60 frames per second. Some switches also come with IR remote extension support that allows users to control their connections for a distant location.
HDMI matrix switch has been used massively in entertainment facilities across various platforms. Restaurants and sports bars can stream live matches and TV shows and keep the customers entertained. In theater systems, a video matrix switch can be used for routing AV signals from multiple sources to multiple displays. Apart from revolutionizing the entertainment systems, these switches have also made an immense impact on corporate offices, meeting rooms, education and military organizations. Airports, malls, museums and other public venues have been using matrix switches to display ads on various screens through a single input connection. This digital signage application allows targeted video content to be displayed on different locations engaging a huge number of audiences in real time. Meeting and boardrooms require multiple interconnected laptops/displays during a presentation to keep everyone at the same page. All this can be achieved by plugging the devices into a single HDMI matrix switch.
