output ports are required.
This flagship product has HDMI2.0 inputs and HDMI2.0 outputs transmitting up to 4K at 60Hz in 4:4:4 format, while
supporting 3D, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Each input port has audio connectors for embedding
analog audio into the HDMI stream. Likewise, the audio connectors next to the output ports can provide de-
embedded audio * for amplifiers and audio systems.
DisplayPort Parameters are displayed in unprecedented detail and also allow adjustment in various aspects such
as link data rate and link lane count. Plus, the Restart Link Training feature allows users to reset link training within
the software to ensure correct link profiling, without the need to physically unplug/re-plug a device,
MX2 matrix switchers are available with 32x32 and 48x48 crosspoint sizes, with or without analog audio add-ons,

reinforced control ports. All models feature a front panel, color LCD screen with great visibility, and a jog-dial, multi-
function button, enabling the users to manage every device feature and service directly.
