Overview
The VS440HDMI 4x4 HDMI® Audio/Video Matrix Switch/Splitter (with Audio and RS232) lets you share up to 4 distinct HDMI or DVI inputs (using HDMI to DVI adapters - not included), with audio, between 4 independent displays or projectors.
Providing convenient front push-button and RS232 PC software control, this matrix switch allows each input and the corresponding audio to be switched individually, meaning that different A/V sources can be shown on each output, or a single source can be output to several offering maximum flexibility.
The switcher features a front panel LCD display for easy status monitoring, plus an included remote control and IR extender module for simple control from a distance.
Designed to provide maximum functionality while saving space, the HDMI Video Matrix Switch can be used as a standalone solution or rack-mounted using ear-mounts (included).
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
This device outputs HDMI video signals. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.
HDCP
When you consider whether to convert an HDMI video signal to another connection type, it is important to know if the media that is being converted from the HDMI video connection is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If the media is protected by HDCP, you cannot convert to analog video connections because they do not support HDCP. You may experience this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles.
