Meet the 5-Input HDBaseT™ Seamless Presentation Switcher & Scaler — the compact, high‑performance hub your classroom, boardroom, or event space has been waiting for. Designed to keep your presentations flowing, it quickly switches and scales five sources to two mirrored displays, so you can present with confidence without juggling cables or extra equipment.

Fast Switch & Scale Five inputs on to 2 mirrored displays — powered by HDBaseT technology, this device sends video, audio, and control signals over a single CAT5e/6 run for distances up to 230 feet (70 meters). An accompanying HDBaseT receiver with PoH support simplifies installation and reduces clutter, making this switcher ideal for rooms where layout and sightlines matter.

Why this switcher stands out

  • Five inputs, two outputs with seamless, auto-switching between sources. Switch between laptops, media players, cameras, and more without missing a beat.
  • HDBaseT output distance extends signal over CAT5e/6 up to 230 ft (70 m) — perfect for large conference rooms or lecture halls.
  • HDMI Auto-switching and HDMI & HDCP 2.2 compatibility ensure smooth playback from protected sources while maintaining compatibility with modern displays and content.
  • Built-in audio de-embedder for HDMI and VGA inputs, enabling clean extraction of audio to outputs or separate audio routing without extra boxes.
  • VGA versatility supports C‑video, YPbPr, and standard VGA, broadening compatibility with legacy equipment.
  • Flexible audio options with phantom power for condenser mics (48 V), a dedicated mic input with balanced/unbalanced support, and a 3‑level mic input for condenser, dynamic, or wireless mics.
  • Comprehensive control Bi‑directional IR, RS232, and TCP/IP control, plus intuitive buttons, an IR remote, and a powerful web-based GUI with an integrated OSD for on‑the‑fly adjustments.

Use cases and real-world scenarios

  • Education: connect a laptop, document camera, and media player to two projectors, then switch sources in seconds during lectures or labs with crystal‑clear audio.
  • Corporate: run a training session or board meeting from multiple presenters’ devices, pausing to switch inputs without disconnecting cables or re‑configuring displays.
  • Events and venues: stage different media feeds (HDMI, DP, VGA) to two large displays while maintaining clean audio routing and reliable control from a central touch panel or remote.
