• Connect the two displays to the two HDMI output ports. Use high-quality HDMI cables to preserve video integrity and audio clarity.
• Power on the HDR 4x2-Pro using the included external power supply. Ensure all connected devices are powered off during cable connections to avoid any short-term display issues.
• Using the IR remote, switch between inputs and assign outputs as needed. If you encounter compatibility issues, refer to the EDID management option to adjust how the source and displays negotiate resolution and color settings.
• Test each input-to-output pairing to confirm that you’re receiving the expected video and audio on both displays. If necessary, reconfigure EDID or use a single preferred source for consistent playback across displays.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Does the HDR 4x2-Pro support true 4K at 60 Hz?

  A: The HDR 4x2-Pro supports 4K video signals, designed for high-quality 4K and 2K playback. For exact frame-rate specifications, please consult the official product documentation or verify compatibility with your specific source devices.

• Q: Can I route different sources to each display?

  A: Yes. The 4x2 matrix provides routing flexibility so you can send distinct HDMI inputs to each of the two outputs, enabling multi-display scenarios like separate presentations or synchronized shows.

• Q: Is HDR automatic, or do I need to configure settings?

  A: HDR support is designed to be compatible with HDR-capable displays and sources. Depending on your devices, EDID management may help optimize the signal for the best possible picture, but automatic HDR behavior may vary by source.

• Q: Do I need a separate splitter or scalers?

  A: The HDR 4x2-Pro functions as a complete matrix router for distributing four inputs to two outputs. Additional splitters or scalers are generally unnecessary unless you require specialized scaling or multi-zone content beyond the router’s capabilities.

• Q: What kind of remote is included, and how far does it work?

  A: An IR remote is included to simplify switching between inputs and outputs. The effective range depends on the environment and line-of-sight conditions, but typical setups allow comfortable operation from seating positions in conference rooms or home theaters.

In addition to the above, the HDR 4x2-Pro is designed to deliver reliable operation in demanding environments. Its four-input, two-output configuration is ideal for installations where multiple media sources need to be managed across several displays without needing to physically reconnect devices. By routing video and high-fidelity audio through a single compact box, users gain streamlined control, reduced cable clutter, and enhanced presentation reliability. The HDR-capable feature set ensures you don’t compromise on picture quality, whether you’re showcasing 4K content, gaming sessions, or professional-grade video playback.

Another key advantage is the thoughtful approach to user experience. With intelligent EDID handling, the HDR 4x2-Pro helps prevent common compatibility issues that occur when different devices attempt to negotiate resolution and color depth. This translates into fewer misfires, smoother switching, and faster setup times—critical factors in commercial environments where time is money and the impression you make matters. The inclusion of a dedicated IR remote further simplifies use, eliminating the need to interact with a control interface on the unit itself or rely on a separate software control system for basic switching tasks.

When planning your installation, consider the layout of your space, the placement of displays, and the location of your input devices. Because the HDR 4x2-Pro consolidates routing into a compact rack-mountable unit, you can design a clean, scalable setup that accommodates additional sources or future display upgrades. Whether you’re building a high-end home cinema, outfitting a corporate conference room, or configuring a digital signage network, this router provides the flexibility and reliability needed to deliver a compelling, uninterrupted viewing experience.
