Tripp Lite unveils new presentation matrix switch

Tripp Lite has unveiled the 9×2 Multi-Format Presentation Matrix Switch with Audio Extractor, model B300-9X2-4K. The presentation matrix switch connects up to nine audio/video sources, such as computers, media players and cable boxes, with one or two HDMI displays and provides the ability to control the content shown on each screen. A preview feature shows the content from all the sources at the same time, allowing identification of each source’s content.

Six HDMI inputs and a DisplayPort input support video resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 (4K x 2K). VGA + Audio and Component/Composite inputs support video resolutions up to 1080p. Users can easily switch between connected video sources using the front-panel buttons, the included IR remote or an RS-232 serial controller. A built-in KVM switch allows control of one or two connected computers using a keyboard and mouse. Two USB ports accept peripherals, such as flash drives.

“Matrix switches are a convenient way to ensure a seamless viewing experience for audiences during multimedia lectures and corporate trainings,” said David Posner, Vice President of Product Marketing, Connectivity. “Tripp Lite’s 9×2 Multi-Format Presentation Matrix Switch is a flexible, versatile solution for consolidating control of analog and 4K digital video sources and viewing the same or different content on two displays.
