SW42DA

4-Way HDMI Switcher With Multi-Channel Dante® Audio Breakout

Description

The Blustream SW42DA is a 4-Way HDMI switch that has been designed to convert and downmix embedded Dolby Audio or DTS Audio within an HDMI switching environment. HDMI audio capabilities include the selection and manipulation of formats across both multichannel and 2ch downmixed Dante® digital signal, optical, multichannel and 2ch downmixed balanced/unbalanced analogue audio, and HDMI outputs.

The SW42DA will pass native video and multichannel audio to compatible equipment, with a second HDMI output featuring selectable video down-conversion of 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 video down to 1080p, with embedded native or down-mixed 2ch audio as required.

The SW42DA provides an advanced, but cost-effective solution for ensuring that 4K UHD video and multichannel audio can be distributed around a Dante® multi-room system where there are a mixture of 2ch and/or 7.1ch zones or 7.1.2/5.1.4 (9.1ch) audio, with multiple output resolution requirements.
