Back panel image
The HMX42 is a true HDMI matrix switch, meaning both outputs
can select from any of the inputs independently. You can display the same
or different inputs on each output. It also supports discrete digital
audio outputs which allow much easier connection to your home theater receiver.
HMX42 is fully compatible with both HDCP and HDMI version 1.3.
The HMX42 can support the following typical applications
- Switching 4 HDMI inputs to 2 displays and 2 home theater
receivers
- Integration with the CMX matrix switch to support all video
& audio types
CMX compatibility
The HMX42 can be used stand alone for HDMI switching, or in
conjuction with the CMX series matrix to provide a complete audio and video
matrix switching solution. When connected to the CMX matrix, all device
control is handled by the CMX switch. The HDMI outputs will show up in the
CMX control menu as to more controllable outputs. It is also recommended
to connect one or more of the CMX outputs to the HMX inputs (using our
component/digital audio to HDMI convertors). The diagram below illustrates
this connection.
