Product Features
Technical Overview
This HDMI matrix switch handles uncompressed True 4K resolutions up to 4096x2160, maintaining signal integrity with HDCP 2.2 compliance for protected content. The integrated 4K scaler adjusts incoming video to the optimal display resolution, while FrameSync technology prevents image tearing by synchronizing output frame rates to input signals.
Control flexibility is provided through front-panel pushbuttons, IR remote, RS-232 serial, and Ethernet-based web GUI or Telnet access. The True 4K EDID Expert feature automatically selects the best EDID settings for smooth startup and consistent resolution handling across mixed displays.
This section brings together practical product details such as Connectivity Technology, Number of Input Devices Supported, Device Supported, Graphics Modes, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum resolution supported by this HDMI matrix switch?
The ATEN VM6404HB supports True 4K resolutions up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling. It can handle uncompressed video up to 4096×2160, making it suitable for professional 4K content distribution across multiple displays without compression artifacts.
How many displays can I connect to this switch?
This is a 4×4 matrix switch, providing four HDMI inputs and four HDMI outputs. You can connect up to four source devices and route their signals independently to up to four displays, allowing any input to be sent to any output or combination of outputs simultaneously.
What type of cable does this switch use for extended distance connections?
The switch uses twisted pair media for extended connectivity, supporting distances up to 118.11" (3000 mm). This allows you to place source devices further from displays compared to standard HDMI cables, which is useful in larger rooms or installations with separated equipment racks.
Can this switch scale different input resolutions to match my displays?
Yes, the built-in 4K scaler converts incoming video resolutions to the optimal output resolution for each connected display. This ensures compatibility when mixing sources with varying resolutions, and the FrameSync feature synchronizes output frame rates to prevent image tearing during scaling.
What control options are available for managing the matrix switching?
You can control the switch via front-panel pushbuttons, the included IR remote, RS-232 serial commands, or Ethernet connection for web GUI or Telnet access. This flexibility supports both local manual operation and integration into automated control systems for centralized management.
Is this switch suitable for creating a video wall?
Yes, the VM6404HB includes video wall functionality that allows you to create custom layouts across multiple displays through an intuitive web GUI. You can adjust bezel compensation and arrange content precisely, making it ideal for digital signage, command centers, or large-format presentations.
