Functions

Detailed Function Description

16×16 HDMI routing: Assign any HDMI input to one or multiple HDMI outputs through the front panel, remote controller, Web UI, or mobile app.
4K30 support: input supports 480i / 576i / 480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p and 4K@30Hz; output modes include 720p@60Hz, 1080p@60Hz and 4K@30Hz.
Seamless switching: source changes are designed for continuous display operation without conventional black-screen switching behavior.
Video wall splicing: configure multi-screen layouts such as 2×2, 3×3 and other project-specific wall arrangements through the Web interface or mobile app.
Scaler processing: output-board resolution can be configured independently to match the connected display environment.
Audio embedding / de-embedding: each input supports HDMI or 3.5 mm audio integration, while each output provides independent 3.5 mm audio de-embedding.
EDID support: EDID functionality improves source / display capability negotiation in professional AV installations.
LCD status feedback: the front-panel LCD displays system status and operation prompts for local maintenance and switching.

Installation Notes

Deployment and Safety Notes

Ensure the chassis is properly grounded before power-on and use a power source with protective grounding.
Disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting signal cables. Damage caused by live-line operation is not covered by the source manual's warranty terms.
Maintain adequate ventilation around the chassis and keep the device away from excessive dust, moisture, liquids and extreme temperatures.
LAN1 and LAN2 must not be configured on the same subnet.
After changing network settings, save the configuration and restart the matrix so the new IP settings take effect.
Firmware upgrading is a high-risk operation; use the correct upgrade file and never power off the device during the process.
