The twisted pair media support reduces installation complexity and cost compared to traditional HDMI cable runs while extending operational distance.
Zero Quality Loss Switching
Switch between any of the four HDMI sources to either display without degradation of video quality, ensuring consistent 4K performance regardless of source selection.
Extended Distance Capability
The 230-foot maximum operating distance over twisted pair cable enables flexible placement of source devices and displays throughout larger spaces without signal boosters or repeaters.
Multiple Mounting Options
Rack-mountable, wall-mountable, surface-mountable, and desktop placement options provide installation flexibility for integration into existing AV racks, under desks, or behind displays.
Deployment / Use Cases
The B127A-4X2-BH2PH matrix switch is designed for professional AV distribution scenarios where multiple sources need to be selectively routed to multiple displays. Its 4K capability and extended distance support make it suitable for digital signage, conference rooms, classrooms, and residential entertainment systems.
In commercial environments, the switch can manage content from computers, media players, and cable boxes to displays in lobby areas, waiting rooms, or retail spaces. The RS-232 control interface allows integration with room automation systems for scheduled or triggered source switching.
Conference Room AV
Connect laptop inputs, document cameras, and media players to both a primary display and secondary monitor, allowing presenters to switch sources independently for each screen.
Digital Signage Distribution
Route content from multiple media players or computers to displays in different areas, with the ability to update or change content sources without rewiring the entire system.
Physical Profile
