Product Description

The VLMX-0402E is an 18G HDMI matrix switcher featuring four HDMI inputs and two independently scalable HDMI outputs. Each input and output supports video resolutions up to 4K60 (4:4:4) with full HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance.

Each output can be individually downscaled to 1080p, allowing compatibility with legacy displays or HDBaseT extension systems. The unit supports audio de-embedding for both outputs, providing analog L/R and optical TosLink audio outputs.

Designed for smart automation, the VLMX-0402E can automatically control connected display devices via RS232, CEC, or IR, either when the last input signal is lost or when a new signal is detected.

Flexible control options include front panel buttons, RS232, IR, and LAN. The switcher also offers two operational modes: distribution mode (where the same source is sent to both outputs) and switching mode (independent switching per output), making it a versatile solution for conference rooms, classrooms, and small-scale AV systems.

Featured Highlights

  • HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 / HDCP 1.4, and DVI 1.0 compliant

  • Four 18G HDMI 2.0 video inputs supporting up to 4K60 444 resolution

  • Two 18G HDMI 2.0 video outputs supporting up to 4K60 444 resolution

  • Both outputs can be individually scaled for 4K→1080p or HDBaseT mode

  • Automatic RS232, CEC, and IR control of the display device power state

  • Two sets of de-embedded audio analog and TosLink outputs, for both outputs

  • ARC decoding to the TosLink audio outputs only

  • Test Pattern mode for testing output signal integrity to the display

  • Built-in Web GUI for LAN control

  • Four methods of control: Front panel, RS232, IR, and LAN
