Introduction
Overview
With more and more HDMI devices entering the Home Theater market, the
need for simultaneous access to different HDMI sources is becoming
increasingly important. Now, the VS482 4-Port Dual View HDMI Switch
offers an easy and affordable way to add HDMI capabilities to your home
theater system by allowing you to switch easily between up to four HDMI
sources that are connected to up to two HDMI displays.
The VS482 supports four HDMI input sources and two HDMI output displays.
It is designed for two HDTV, audio/video receiver (AVR) or HD projector
display applications. The VS482 complies with HDMI standards, and is
designed to support 3D content, as well as featuring Audio Return Channel
(ARC) functionality. The VS482 also offers fast switching and has OSD
display controls for video, audio, system configuration and information.
With four HDMI input ports, the VS482 allows you to connect four HDMI
devices (such as an HD camcorder, satellite box, HD-DVD player, hi-def Blu-
ray player, home theater PC, stand-alone streaming media player, or gaming
console) to two HDMI monitors, displays, projectors or TVs at the same time.
The remote control and convenient front panel pushbuttons allow you to
quickly and easily toggle between HDMI sources, while the front panel LEDs
indicate the source device at a glance.
Furthermore, for complete system and install integration, RS-232 control is
standard through the VS482’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial remote port
that allows the switch to be controlled through a Control Unit, PC, and/or home
automation / home theater software package.
