Atlona® Conferencing 4K Ultra HD HDMI Switcher with Mirrored HDMI/HDBaseT Outputs | 5x1
This 5x1 4K/UHD HDMI switcher with HDMI and HDBaseT outputs features balanced analog audio outputs, automatic input selection and automatic display control capability. It supports 4K@60 Hz with 4:2:0 color, offers 3D pass-through, and 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. In addition to an HDMI output, the switcher also features a mirrored, Ethernet-enabled HDBaseT output. It transmits AV signals along with Ethernet, power, and control over a single cable to displays up to 330 feet (100 meters) from the switcher to PoE-powered HDBaseT receivers, HDBaseT displays, or even another switcher. Control options for the switcher include automatic input selection, front-panel buttons, and compatibility with IR, RS-232, or TCP/IP-based control systems.
Important Note - Atlona can confirm proper CEC operation with many current Samsung, Panasonic, and Sony TVs. However, many other manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command when sent from a source, or still use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports those TVs that follow CEC command structure from HDMI 1.2a and support the “off” command when issued by a source. We encourage any dealer to get a product evaluation prior to designing a system around this control technology or be prepared to use other control methods if CEC is incompatible with their installed displays.
Mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT Outputs
The SW-52ED adds 4K UHD performance and extended distance HDBaseT transmission to Atlona’s HDMI small switcher family for a unique solution for professional integration applications. Internal HDBaseT and video distribution eliminate the need for additional system components while PoE eliminates the need for a power supply for the receiver. As an alternative, with an HDBaseT-capable display, an HDBaseT receiver isn’t required, reducing system complexity and saving integrators time and money.
Automatic Display Control
The SW-52ED provides control to a display through TCP/IP, RS-232, or CEC*, without the need for a separate control system. This simplifies system design and integration while reducing costs. With automatic display control, the SW-52ED can trigger a display to power on automatically whenever a laptop or other device is connected, whether locally to the switcher or over HDBaseT. At the end of the presentation, when the presenter disconnects the laptop, the SW-52ED forces the display to power off. Ease of presenter interaction with the system, and the savings incurred by automatic display shutdown provide a significant return on investment. The SW-52ED’s display control capability can also be triggered by an external control system. A power button on the front panel can be used for manual on/off control of either the SW-52ED or the display. Front panel volume controls are also available to control the display’s internal audio, or another device with volume control, such as a DSP or another switcher.
Automatic Input Selection 
Using hot-plug-detect and video detection, this switcher automatically selects the active input when sources are connected or if it senses a change in source power status. This ensures reliable auto-switching operation for all video sources, including DVRs, DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort adapters, and other devices that always maintain the HPD line at the 5 volt “high” state but may not be delivering active video.
4K UHD Capability
The SW-52ED meets the needs of displays and sources with resolutions up to 4K@60Hz 4:2:0 and HDCP 1.4. It’s compatible with Ultra High Definition sources and displays, and easily handles high-resolution applications like CAD, desktop publishing, or detailed financial reporting. Please note: this switcher does not support HDCP 2.2 devices.
HDBaseT Delivers AV, Ethernet, Power & Control
This switcher offers 4K/UHD video, audio, 100Base-T Ethernet, power and control through a single cable, eliminating frustration and multiple cable runs between the source, a control system router, and the display.
IR, RS-232 and Ethernet HDBaseT Insertion
This switcher adds internally-generated or externally-generated display control signals to an HDBaseT transmission. Simplifies display control from third-party control systems.
