Description

Four Inputs and One Component Video Output. Supports all HDTV modes 480i through 1080p, including 720p and 1080i. Each input consists of six analog channels (Pr/Pb/Y/Left/Right/CV) and one channel of Digital Audio. Analog audio channels are routed using the same high-bandwidth relay switches as the video channels, and can be used to route H & V components (with proper adapter cables) for an RGBHV switch, supports all RGBHV PC modes.

Features

Passive Switching of Analog Signals

The HDS4.1 passively switches its analog signals using high quality relays designed specifically for switching low level signals such as those used in the audio and component video paths. When compared to an active analog switch (using analog switching ICs), relays are usually a more expensive solution for routing signals. However relays offer a switching quality like that of physically swapping cables, without the added noise and distortion that is inherent in active switches. This also allows the HDS4.1 to be used in reverse. The Output can be used as an input and switched to each of four outputs.

Fully isolated analog grounds

The HDS4.1 features full isolation of its analog and digital grounds to eliminate digital noise from being superimposed on its analog signals, and to help eliminated ground loop problems.

5.1 Multichannel Audio Switch

Since there are six available analog channels, the HDS4.1 can easily be used as a four to one 5.1 multichannel audio switch. The fully passive design, and full isolation of the digital and analog grounds makes the HDS4.1 ideal for switching analog audio signals.

High Quality Gold Clad, Silver-Palladium Relays

All analog signals are switched using high quality relays with gold clad, silver-palladium (AgPd) contacts. The combination of gold clad on silver-palladium while expensive, holds the highest rating for long life, when switching low level signals such as those found in analog audio and video paths. Each analog channel is routed using a separate relay, thus reducing the possibility of cross talk between channels, when compared to the less expensive design of using multi-contact relays where multiple signals are routed through a single relay.

Gold Plated Connections

Gold plated RCA connectors are used throughout the design to reduce the possibility of contact generated noise caused by corrosion.

Toslink and SPDIF Digital Audio

Both Toslink (Optical) and SPDIF (Coax) can be routed through the HDS4.1. Either input will be accepted and both Toslink and SPDIF are available as outputs simultaneously. All conversions between formats are done as needed.

Features Zektor's Exclusive IIR Learning

The HDS4.1 features Zektor's exclusive IIR (Intelligent Infra-Red) learning. Zektor's IIR learning allows the HDS4.1 to work with virtually any remote control! Control the HDS4.1 with an obsolete TV remote. The HDS4.1 also works great with any universal remote control.

Front Panel Control of Switching

Front panel buttons are available to directly select each input. You are not forced to sequence through all inputs when switching from input two back to input one!

Full Featured Remote Control Interface

A full featured IR command set is available using any remote control, commands are: Power Toggle, Direct Channel Selection of each input, and for better integration with universal remotes with macro capabilities, the discrete commands Power On, and Power Off are also available.

Auto Dimming Display

The LED indicator lights can be set to Bright, Dim, Auto Dim, or Off. The Auto Dim mode will fade the LEDs from the Bright setting to the Dim setting about 4 seconds after a channel is selected.

Adjustable Front Panel LED intensities

The intensity levels of the front panel LEDs are fully adjustable, allowing the HDS4.1 to be used in a wide range of lighting conditions. The front panel can even be made to gently dim its front panels lights to 'off' when the front panel is inactive.

Rack Mountable Metal Enclosure (1RU)

Enclosed in a heavy gauged, steel chassis, and with fully adjustable front panel LED intensities, the HDS4.1 easily integrates into your existing hometheater environment.

Optional International Power Supply

Available with an international power supply for 90-264VAC, 47-63Hz operation. The international supply comes with adapters for UK, EURO, AUS and USA use.
