PT-SW-HD41USB - 4x1 HDMI/USB Switcher: Unified AV Signal Routing for Workspaces and Meeting Rooms
The PT-SW-HD41USB is a 4x1 switcher designed to consolidate multiple HDMI and USB sources into a single output pathway, streamlining signal management in professional AV environments. Its structure enables seamless source selection and peripheral sharing, supporting installations where both video and USB data must be routed together. The unit’s integration of audio de-embedding and multiple control interfaces addresses the requirements of modern meeting spaces, collaborative workstations, and hybrid setups. TMDS and 5V auto-switching further optimise input detection, reducing manual intervention in dynamic AV scenarios.
Simultaneous HDMI and USB Switching: The switcher manages four HDMI inputs with corresponding USB-B 3.2 connections, routing both video and USB signals to a single HDMI output. This configuration supports unified device control and display switching in collaborative workspaces or conference rooms.
4K60 HDMI Signal Support: HDMI compliance enables 18Gbps bandwidth, supporting video resolutions up to 4K UltraHD at 60Hz. This ensures compatibility with high-resolution displays and content sources commonly deployed in signage, control rooms, and hybrid meeting environments.
Peripheral Connectivity via USB-A: Three USB-A 3.2 ports are available for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, or interactive devices. This allows seamless switching of both AV and USB data streams, maintaining consistent device operation across multiple source inputs.
Stereo Audio De-Embedding: Integrated audio de-embedding extracts stereo audio from the HDMI signal for external amplification or distribution. This feature supports scenarios where independent audio feeds are required, such as in conference audio systems or presentation spaces.
Flexible Control and Auto-Switching: The switcher can be operated via the front panel, RS232, or an optional PT-IFP-HU interface plate. TMDS and 5V auto-switching functions facilitate automatic source selection, reducing the need for manual input changes in dynamic AV environments.
Streamlined Signal Management for Professional AV
By combining HDMI and USB switching, high-resolution signal support, and versatile control options, the PT-SW-HD41USB enables efficient AV routing in collaborative and hybrid installations. The unit provides a unified platform for managing multiple source devices and peripherals, addressing the requirements of modern meeting rooms, workspaces, and presentation systems where both video and USB connectivity are essential.
