Quad Multi-Viewer 4x1 HDMI Switcher 4 Ports with Seamless Switch and IR Remote Support 1080P HDMI 1.3a

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this so I could display four Zwift sessions on one large screen TV, and it is AWESOME! Fast, seamless, fantastic! This does exactly what I expected and more. The remote is not powerful and needs to be aligned straight on, but that still beats pushing a button on the box.Video made with this device: AGPtek HD Game Capture Card HD Video Capture 1080P HDMI/YPBPR Video Recorder for Xbox 360 Xbox One/ PS3 PS4/ Wii U,Support Mic in with YPBPR Input The audio cuts out because I am switching between different HDMI sources, and the quality is low because Amazon is compressing it. The full 1080p/30fps video looks great!

I plugged it in and it works as expected. You can have up to four inputs (A through D) that are routed to any or all of four outputs (1 through 4). You can have a single input routed to multiple outputs, if you so choose. This would be a 5-star rating if the minor concerns (below) could be resolved.I have am using it for four inputs (computer, NAS, PlayStation, XBox) and three outputs (display 1, display 2, living room TV). There are four buttons that each control an output (1 through 4). Pressing the button will toggle what that output receives as an input (A through D). I'm very happy with how this has kept me from having to manually plug/unplug HDMI cables between devices and displays. With this as a true matrix, I can have all displays using one device simultaneously.Only minor concerns: 1) To change from input B to Input A on any output, I need to press the output selection button repeatedly to cycle through C, D, and then A. Also, the buttons on the unit seem to have a ~1s dead time, so I have to PRESS---WAIT---PRESS---WAIT---PRESS to switch from Input B to Input A.. It would be nice if there was a different control scheme (e.g., dial or FORWARD/BACK button pair) to cycle forward/backward on input selection, or at best a matrix of 16 buttons where you press the input/output pair(s) you desire. 2) Although the included remote works just fine, I would have liked to have had control on my Logitech Harmony remote. The only model number I could find was on this Amazon listing (AKM40404AI), and the Logitech Harmony software does not recognize that model number, although it recognizes Avenk; so maybe there's a correct model number that works with Harmony, but so far haven't found and I can't find a way to search Logitech's database for known model numbers on a given Manufacturer. I had also tried manually entering the commands by teaching the Harmony unit using the included remote. After some struggle, it claimed to understand the buttons "Output 1" through "Output 4", but the Harmony remote could not control the matrix. Checked line-of-sight and distance, and no luck. I positioned the Harmony unit and the included remote in the same location, pointing directly at the matrix. Harmony couldn't change anything, while the included remote flawlessly controlled the matrix.Summary: totally great for fast media switching and saves you having to fumble with HDMI interconnections, but user interface improvements and Harmony integration would make this superb.

This is false advertisement, pure and simple. It is absolutely not a 4K supported matrix. The Matrix part works wonderfully but I'm disgusted that I gave my money to crooks who aren't Tech savvy. My projector clearly says 1080p every time I run my PlayStation through this matrix. If I plug the projector directly into the PlayStation it says 2160p. Which is 4k.BOOOOOO AVENK! Every time I see your name I'll know a crook runs that company and stay well away.

Many of my interview & talking-head shoots require monitoring by the customer. Previously, I had jerry rigged a series of monitors coupled with using Canon EOS utility and Panasonic's remote utility to create monitoring for all angles. Not the most professional look. This device, when used with my field monitors with HDMI passthru, allows me to send all cameras to one monitor. This is great for framing shots.The only downside is there is visible latency between the real action and what is displayed on the screen. Not sure if this is the nature of the cameras or the device, but the delay is acceptable for my work. I don't use the remote, as it is another piece of equipment to lose track of.The device is super simple to use, with single button pushes to take you to the various screen layouts for the HDMI inputs. I prefer to use the quad layout as my default layout. You can also select which source provides the audio - a very convenient feature in the event you want to send audio to the monitoring console.This is not an alternative to more expensive, SDI based multicam field setups If you can afford those, then this is beneath you. If you are a budget-conscious DSLR shooter that does multi-cam shots and has to provide camera angle monitoring for the customer/producer/director - this device will make you look a little more professional.

This device works as described. I hooked up four cable boxes through the device and it produces a quad view on my television. It was relatively easy to set up and switching the sound on the different sections and switching from quad view to a single view is very easy and fairly seamless with only a very brief delay on the sound. My only problem is that when the boxes go through the device and you are in a simple single view mode, the picture will get blurry when there is a lot of movement on the screen such as a football game. It is not unwatchable but it can be very distracting. There are much more expensive devices that will do the same thing. I'm not sure if the more expensive devices have a better output when used in single screen mode. But I bought this device for watching games in a quad mode and this device makes that possible and does a very good job.

The auto-sensing electronics for the switching feature worked only with one of my inputs - the laptop - but did not work with my DVD player or my DVR. Too "smart" for its own good - just would get hung up on the HDMI handshake or it it did connect there would be vidio but no audio. Tried a few of these - then settled on a simple item that has no "smart" electronics. Over-programmed.
