monitor's EDID in 100 internal memory locations, upload and download EDID files using Lightware
Device Controller software.
Pixel Accurate Reclocking
Each output has a clean, jitter free signal, eliminating signal instability and distortion caused
by long cables or connector reflections.

The exact video and audio signal format can be determined such as timing, frequencies, scan
mode, HDCP encryption, color range, color space and audio sample rate.
Graphic Display and Rotary Jog Dial Control Knob
Easy setting and menu navigation are assured by the color graphic display and the comfortable
jog dial control.
Built-in Website

Unique Front-to-Back Cooling Airflow Design
The matrix includes a groundbreaking new cooling design with front-to-back airflow. Inside the
chassis, the airflow travels along guiding panes assuring that the most warm areas receive ample
amount of cooling air volume.
Ethernet Control
Multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections are available with a simple ASCII-based protocol
for controlling, configuring the matrix router or perform a firmware upgrade.
Non-Volatile Memory
The matrix router starts with its latest configuration settings when powered on or after a power
failure. Every setting is stored in a non-volatile memory.
Consumer Electronic Control
Supports transmitting standard CEC commands in order to remote control the source or sink
device.
HDMI 2.0 to 2x HDMI 1.4 Splitting
The device supports vertical splitting of an HDMI2.0 4k@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right
halves allowing for the transmission of an 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over two HDMI1.4 compliant
links. The two halves can then be recombined at the signal destination.
