Aten 4x4 HDMI True 4K Scaling Matrix and Video Wall with Fast Switching

Experience professional-grade AV routing with the Aten 4x4 HDMI True 4K Scaling Matrix and Video Wall with Fast Switching. This compact powerhouse combines a 4x4 HDMI matrix with advanced scaling and an integrated video wall processor, designed to simplify complex installations in conference rooms, control centers, post-production suites, and digital signage networks. It delivers pristine 4K image quality, precise video wall alignment, and rapid source switching, enabling smooth presentations, immersive displays, and reliable operation under demanding conditions. Whether you’re orchestrating multiple displays, consolidating sources, or delivering synchronized content across a wall of screens, this Aten solution provides the control, flexibility, and performance you need to captivate your audience.

• 4x4 HDMI matrix with true 4K scaling: Route any of four HDMI sources to any of four HDMI displays with high-fidelity scaling that preserves detail and color. It supports 4K resolutions up to 60Hz, maintaining sharp lines and accurate timing across diverse displays. The built-in scaler intelligently adapts source signals to match each output’s capabilities, minimizing artifacts and ensuring consistent performance across a mixed-display setup.
• Video wall functionality: Turn a 2x2 or other multi-display configuration into a single, seamless video wall. The engine handles bezel compensation, edge-to-edge alignment, and uniform scaling so content appears continuous across the entire wall. This makes it ideal for control rooms, lobby signage, or live events where a high-impact, panoramic presentation is essential.
• Fast switching and low latency: Experience near-instantaneous switching between sources with minimal latency, a critical feature for live events, classroom demonstrations, and executive briefings. Sub-second transitions keep audiences engaged and reduce interruption during content changes, while maintaining smooth playback across all connected displays.
• HDCP 2.2, EDID management, and compatibility: Protect content with HDCP 2.2 on all inputs and outputs, ensuring compatibility with modern 4K sources. Advanced EDID management lets you lock, override, or auto-detect display capabilities so each output receives the best-suited resolution and color settings without manual guesswork.
• Flexible control and integration: Easy local control via front-panel buttons and IR remote, plus remote management through RS-232 and Ethernet. The unit is designed for integration with popular control systems (such as AMX and Crestron), enabling centralized automation, scene recall, and firmware updates to keep the system current.

how to install Aten 4x4 HDMI True 4K Scaling Matrix And Video Wall W/ Fast Switching

• Plan your routing strategy: map each source to one or more displays, decide whether you’ll use a video wall layout (2x2, 1x4, etc.), and determine default routes for routine presentations.
• Prepare cabling and power: use high-quality high-speed HDMI cables rated for 4K60; keep runs within recommended lengths to minimize signal loss; connect the matrix to a reliable power source and surge protection.
• Make initial connections: attach four HDMI sources to the inputs and four displays to the outputs. If you intend a video wall, ensure each display is correctly connected to its corresponding output in the wall configuration you plan to use.
• Configure EDID, scaling, and wall layout: access the front panel or control interface to set EDID preferences for each output, select the desired scaling mode, and configure the video wall layout with bezel compensation for seamless alignment.
• Test, adjust, and save profiles: run content through the matrix to verify color, brightness, and timing on every display. Fine-tune aspect ratios if needed, then save your configurations as profiles for quick recall during live use.
