What is a matrix switcher - For Beginners
A matrix switcher is a device that enables the user to send an audio, video and control signal to any display that is connected to the switcher. If your organization needs to run multiple video components at once, then a matrix switcher is going to be necessary.
Bring it all Together
Matrix switchers provide a single, centralized point of connection for all your video sources and displays. They allow you to route any source to any display, and are perfect solutions for commercial applications like sports bars and retail spaces. For those in church tech, this is the perfect video switcher for church applications. Large homes are also a common application, allowing the homeowner to keep all of their equipment out of sight for a clean, modern look.
Simplified Operation
Keeping all of your devices in a single location connected to a matrix switch can greatly simplify the connection and operation of complex systems. Keep all of your displays on the same input while switching is handled by simple buttons on the front of the matrix switch, with a remote control or a third-party control system.
Ultra HD Clarity
With support for resolutions up to 4K, BZBGEAR matrix switchers deliver outstanding image quality for all of your favorite sources. Distribute content in pristine detail throughout your home or place of business, while keeping all the equipment conveniently located in one space.
Enhanced Reliability
Using built-in EDID management, matrix switchers can overcome many of the common problems experienced when using HDMI. EDID management eliminates flickering, distortion, and intermittent connections allowing instantaneous switching between sources. What is EDID management? EDID is an acronym for extended display identification data. What EDID does is enable your source and your display to communicate their capabilities.
