The OREI 18Gbps 4x4 HDMI Matrix is a versatile device designed for managing and distributing high-definition video and multichannel digital audio signals. Its primary function is to allow users to connect up to four HDMI sources and distribute their signals to up to four HDMI displays. This matrix switcher supports advanced video resolutions, including 4K2K@60Hz YCbCr 4:4:4, ensuring a high-quality visual experience.
One of the key usage features of this device is its flexible display capabilities. Users can choose to display the same screen from a single source on all four outputs, or they can display different screens from different sources on each output. This makes it ideal for various applications, such as home theater setups, conference rooms, educational institutions, or commercial displays where multiple sources need to be routed to multiple screens.
A significant feature for practical use is the integrated downscaler functionality on each output. This means that if a display connected to one of the outputs has a lower resolution capability than the source, the matrix can automatically scale down the video signal to match the display's resolution (e.g., 4K to 1080P). This ensures compatibility and optimal viewing on all connected displays, preventing issues that might arise from resolution mismatches.
The matrix supports a wide range of high dynamic range (HDR) formats, including HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision passthrough. This ensures that content with enhanced contrast and color depth can be transmitted and displayed accurately, providing a more immersive viewing experience.
For audio, the device supports advanced multichannel digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. This guarantees high-fidelity audio transmission, complementing the high-quality video output.
Control over the matrix is highly flexible, offering multiple methods for operation. Users can control the device directly via the buttons on the front panel. Each output has dedicated buttons for switching inputs and for toggling the downscaler function. A short press on an output button switches the input, while a long press (3 seconds) activates or deactivates the downscaler for that specific output. The front panel also features LED indicators for power and for showing which input is currently selected for each output, providing clear visual feedback on the device's status.
In addition to front panel control, the matrix comes with an IR remote control, offering convenient operation from a distance. The remote allows users to power the device on or off, select specific inputs for each output, and toggle the downscaler function for individual outputs. This enhances user convenience, especially in setups where the matrix might not be easily accessible.
The device also incorporates advanced EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management. This feature is crucial for ensuring optimal compatibility between sources and displays. The rear panel includes an EDID switch with multiple settings, allowing users to select predefined EDID modes (e.g., 1080P Stereo Audio 2.0, 4K2K60_444 HD Audio 7.1 HDR) or to copy the EDID from a specific output. This helps in resolving potential display issues and ensures that the source device outputs the most compatible video and audio format.
Maintenance features include a SERVICE port (Micro USB) on the front panel, which is used for firmware upgrades. This allows the device to stay up-to-date with the latest features and bug fixes, ensuring long-term performance and compatibility with evolving technologies.
The robust metal enclosure provides durability and protection for the internal components, contributing to the device's longevity. The inclusion of mounting ears in the package suggests that the matrix can be securely installed in various environments, such as racks or under desks, for a neat and organized setup.
Overall, the OREI 18Gbps 4x4 HDMI Matrix is designed for users who require a high-performance, flexible, and reliable solution for managing multiple HDMI sources and displays, with features like downscaling, HDR support, advanced audio, and multiple control options enhancing its usability and adaptability.
