Introduction

Overview

The ATEN VanCryst VM6404H 4 x 4 4K HDMI Matrix Switch with Scaler is
a versatile solution that provides an easy way to route high definition video and
audio from any of 4 HDMI sources to any of 4 HDMI displays at the same time.
As a Matrix Switch, each input can be independently connected to any or all
outputs, giving you the ultimate in flexibility and control in any multi-display
audio/video installation.
The VM6404H features Seamless Switching, which employs FPGA matrix
system architecture to seamlessly switch between multiple sources and
multiple displays. With EDID Expert technology, the VM6404H selects the
optimum EDID settings for smooth power-up and the highest quality display.
It also features a high-performing scaling engine that converts the video
resolution into the display's native resolution to give you the best image quality
in multiple resolutions up to 4K.
You can easily configure the VM6404H via the front panel LCD display and
pushbuttons, and through the use of an IR Remote Control. The LCD provides
a quick view of all port connections, and lets operators access the unit's built-
in configuration utility.
Furthermore, the VM6404H allows convenient configuration and operation via
an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) using any web browser. The web
GUI provides you with advanced features which include easy setup of custom
Video Wall and Digital Signage configurations that can be saved and recalled.
Because your VM6404H can be controlled over a standard TCP/IP connection,
it conveniently integrates into any existing network for easy remote access. For
complete system and install integration, serial control is standard through the
VM6404H's built-in RS-232 port that allows the switch to be controlled
through a high-end controller or PC.
The VM6404H is an ideal solution for applications that require HDMI outputs
from multiple sources to be conveniently delivered to multiple destinations,
such as for stage presentations, competitions, control centers, and system
installations that require real-time reports.
