Overview

• The VISSONIC VIS-PHD series HDMI matrix switchers are of high performance and applicable to computer and video signals with resolutions up to 4K/60 and 4:4:4 chroma sampling. They support HDMI 2.0 parametric standards, including data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, colour depth of 12 bits, 3D, HD lossless audio format, and CEC. These HDCP1.4-compliant matrix switchers adopt
• EDID Manager and Key Manager technology, as well as HDMI input equalization and output pre-emphasis to adapt to different cables and long transmission distances and ensure reliable system operation. To simplify integration, digital audio from either output can be de-embedded and output through a digital or analog stereo port. Available in fixed sizes from 4×4 to 16×16, the
• VISSONIC VIS-PHD series is ideal for applications requiring reliable, high-performance matrix switching of 4K/60 HDMI video and audio signals.
• The VISSONIC VIS-PHD series matrix switchers can work with computers equipped with a 4K graphics card, 4K media players, 4K Blu-ray players, and other similar signal sources, as well as display devices with a physical resolution of 4K. With a maximum data rate of 10.2 Gbps, the matrix switchers support computer and video signals in 4:4:4 colour space, 8-bit colour depth, and a resolution up to 4096×2160/60 Hz.
• In addition, they provide full support for 1080p/60 signals with 12-bit colour depth. To maintain signal integrity, the matrix switchers exploit automatic cable equalization and output clock recovery to reorder and recover the timing of each HDMI output video signal.
• When combined with the VISSONIC VIS-PHD series high-speed HDMI cables, these features enable 4K signal transmission with a longer distance and compensate for signal loss from weak source signals or during long-distance transmission, thereby reducing the use of additional signal conditioning devices. The output also provides power (+5 VDC, 50 mA) for peripheral devices.

11. Support for DDC transmission.
12. HDMI to DVI interface format correction: Automatically correct the HDMI source signal format to match the DVI display device.
13. Automatic input cable equalization: Actively adjust the incoming HDMI signal to compensate for signal loss caused by the use of long cables, inferior cables, or source devices with weak HDMI signal outputs. Automatic output clock recovery: Reorganize and restore the timing of each HDMI output signal for long-distance transmission via HDMI cables.
14. +5 VDC, 50mA power provided by HDMI output for powering peripheral devices.
15. Global presetting: For medium to large systems, the 4×4 to 16×16 models allow users to save up to 9 common input/output configurations and recall them via the front panel, Ethernet, or serial control. This time-saving feature allows users to set input/output configurations and save them in memory for future use.
16. Front panel controller: Separate keys for each input and output make operation easier and more intuitive.
17. Viewing input/output modes: Users can easily view the current switching status of inputs and outputs via the front panel.
18. Audio separation: Separate analog audio signals from their corresponding video signals.
19. Ethernet monitoring and control: Provide active monitoring, management, or control via LAN, WAN, or Internet by using standard TCP/IP protocols.
