The Extron SW HDMI Series are two, four, six and eight input HDMI switchers. They support HDMI specification features including data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats. The SW HDMI Series switchers are HDCP compliant and support all HDTV rates including 1080p/60, 2K, and computer-video signals up to 1920x1200. They feature EDID Minder�, which maintains continuous EDID communication with connected devices and ensures that the HDMI sources power up properly and maintain correct video output. The SW HDMI Series provides automatic input cable equalization up to 50 feet for 1080p/60 with 8-bit color on Extron HDMI Pro Series cable. The SW HDMI Series switchers are ideal for applications that require the routing of multiple HDMI sources to a single display.

The SW HDMI Series offers integrator-friendly features, including automatic input cable equalization, automatic color bit depth management, indicators for monitoring and troubleshooting, as well as peripheral device power on each output. Automatic input cable equalization corrects for signal loss due to lengthy input cables, ensuring signal integrity for up to 50 feet of Extron HDMI Pro Series cable at 1080p/60 with 8-bit color. For 1080p/60 with 12-bit color, it enables up to 25 feet of signal extension. The SW HDMI Series automatically adjusts color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display. Front panel LED indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of HDCP authentication and signal presence for each input and output. The SW HDMI Series also provides +5 VDC, 250 mA on the HDMI output for powering peripheral devices such as an HDMI 101 Plus cable equalizer.

Convenient control options, including front panel, RS-232, IR, contact closure with tally, and auto-input switching, allow for easy integration into a variety of environments. All SW HDMI Series switchers are housed in rack-mountable 1U enclosures.
