How can I show a 4K movie in the living room while someone else plays a PS5 in the bedroom, both using sources located in a single AV rack?
If you’re just looking to juggle two sources then you could use the BG-8K-22MA. This is an 8K 2x2 matrix that can handle 4K@120 as well which means you can get a fantastic gaming experience with the PS5.
Which Matrix Switcher supports 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz for a high-end home theater and gaming setup?
Our BG-8K-44MA is a great 4x4 matrix switcher that will offer 8K@60 and 4K@120 which means you’re covered for a good long while for both movies and gaming. This unit also has audio de-embedding for an immersive home theater experience.
Can I route audio independently from the video signal to send it to my house-wide sound system?
You absolutely can. Models like our BG-4K-44MA are 4K matrix switchers but they are also capable of independent audio routing and de-embedding. So you’re in full control of your audio capabilities!
How does the "Downscaling" feature work if I have a mix of new 4K TVs and older 1080p displays in my sports bar?
When using models like our BG-MVS4X4-CV and you’re mixing and matching TVs with different resolutions the output will be able to scale from 4K down to 1080p. You can control it through either the remote or RS-232.
What is the best way to control a large 8x8 or 16x16 matrix — via an IR remote, a web interface, or a dedicated control app?
For larger 8x8 or 16x16 matrix units like our BG-4K-1616MA you can utilize all of these control solutions. However we’d recommend utilizing our dedicated control app, BZBGEAR Switch Control. This is an easy to use drag and drop solution that gives you a lot of flexibility and can be downloaded on several different platforms.
Is there a Matrix Switcher that can also function as a Video Wall processor for a 2x2 or 3x3 screen layout?
The BZ-MVS4X4-4K is a great option for a 4x4 matrix switcher that can also double as a 2x2 video wall processor. You can also look into our VP series of matrix switchers that are combination units of matrix switcher, multiviewer and video wall processor.
Does the Matrix Switcher support "Seamless Switching" to avoid the black screen delay when changing sources during a live presentation?
We have a couple of different seamless switcher options to choose from. Our BG-4K-VP44 is going to be the most flexible option for a seamless switcher as it also offers multiviewing and video wall processing.
Can I manage EDID settings for each output to ensure every display gets the best possible resolution and refresh rate?
Yes, models like our BG-8K-42MA allow for you to manage the EDID settings on the front panel of the device through a DIP switch. So you should have no issues setting it up for each of your displays.
Which Matrix Switcher is recommended for a corporate boardroom that needs to handle both HDMI and USB-C inputs from guest laptops?
We do not have a matrix with USB-C.
