HDMI Matrix Switchers & Presentation Switchers

HDMI switchers and matrices decide which source ends up on which screen. A switcher picks one of several inputs for an output, a matrix routes any input to any output, and a presentation switcher adds HDBaseT links and an amplifier so a meeting room or lecture theatre runs from one box.

The range is CYP throughout. For simple selection there is the EL-41S-4K22 4×1 with auto switching and the EL-21PIP 2×1 with picture in picture at 1080p. HDMI matrices run from the OR-44-4K22 4×4 (4K60 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2) to the OR-88U-4K22 8×8, with 4×2 models for particular jobs: the OR-42CD-4K22 with audio de-embedding, the OR-DT42-4K22 with Dante audio, the EL-42M-PIP seamless matrix and multiviewer, and the OR-M42HC-USB with USB-C and KVM. The OR-32USBC-4K22 and OR-32SDMI 3×2 matrices add USB-C for laptops.

Presentation switchers combine switching with a 2x20W amp: the EL-8300VA 8×2, the EL-8400VA 6×2 with HDBaseT 2.0 and USB, and the EL-8500VA with HDBaseT inputs. For bigger rooms the PUV-1082-PRO and PUV-1082PL-4K22N are 10×10 HDBaseT matrices with an audio matrix, and the PUV-44XPL-AVLC-KIT is a 4×4 HDBaseT matrix supplied with 4 receivers. Hyshare Pro wireless presentation comes as the WPS-HP201-KIT with 2 USB-C pods, or as the SDM-WPS-HP module for an SDM slot such as the one on the OR-32SDMI.

Count inputs and outputs first, then decide whether the displays are close enough for HDMI or need HDBaseT. If the audio has to reach a mixer or Dante network, pick a matrix with de-embedding or Dante built in. Matching HDBaseT receivers are in HDMI & AV Extenders, and room control is in AV Control.

HDMI Switchers & Matrices FAQs

What is the difference between an HDMI switcher and a matrix? A switcher sends one of several inputs to a single output, while a matrix can send any input to any output, so different screens can show different sources at the same time.

Which models can feed a Dante audio network? The OR-DT42-4K22 4×2 HDMI matrix has Dante audio built in. The OR-42CD-4K22 de-embeds audio instead, for feeding a separate sound system.

Can presenters share a laptop screen without a cable? Yes, the Hyshare Pro WPS-HP201-KIT uses USB-C pods for wireless presentation, and the SDM-WPS-HP module adds Hyshare Pro to a unit with an SDM slot such as the OR-32SDMI.
