Vivolink VLHDMIMAT4X444 matrix switcher AV matrix switcher Built-in display 65 W

The Vivolink VLHDMIMAT4X444 is a 4x4 HDBaseT AV matrix switcher with audio matrix functionality, compliant with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. It supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and HDR10, offers four mirrored HDMI outputs paired with four HDBaseT outputs, and provides down-scaling from 4K to 1080p on the HDMI outputs. The unit transmits 4K signals up to 40 meters (131 feet) and 1080p up to 70 meters (230 feet) over a single CATx cable and supplies 24V PoC on the HDBaseT outputs to power compatible receivers.

Advantages

The switcher integrates an audio matrix with four digital SPDIF outputs and four analog L+R outputs for audio de-embedding from HDMI inputs and HDBaseT outputs; the SPDIF outputs also support ARC from receivers. It supports comprehensive EDID management and advanced HDCP handling, includes volume adjustment for analog outputs, and offers multiple control methods including front-panel buttons, RS232 (local and pass-through), IR (local and pass-through), CEC, and TCP/IP with a built-in GUI. The metal housing and compact rack-friendly dimensions make it suitable for professional AV installations.

Suitable for

• Professional AV installations requiring matrixed video and audio distribution
• Conference rooms, classrooms, and corporate meeting spaces
• Digital signage and multi-display setups over HDBaseT
• Environments needing centralized control via RS232, IR, CEC or TCP/IP

How to use

Connect up to four HDMI sources to the HDMI inputs and connect displays or HDBaseT receivers to the mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. Use CATx cables to route HDBaseT signals and, if required, rely on the 24V PoC feature to power compatible receivers from the matrix. Configure EDID and HDCP settings as needed to ensure source/display compatibility, and use the front-panel buttons, RS232, IR, CEC or the built-in TCP/IP GUI to route signals, set audio de-embedding and adjust volume for the analog outputs.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance transmission, use high-quality shielded CAT6 or CAT6a cables and verify receiver compatibility with 24V PoC. When mixing 4K and 1080p displays, set EDID and down-scaling options to match the lowest display capability to avoid handshake issues.
