Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are all the audio outputs simultaneous on output 4?

A: We are not sure of what is being asked. We can say that this is a matrix switcher, so whatever source you select on whatever output will also transfer the audio. However, it will not output all inputted audio streams to 1 output, if that is what you are asking. If you have further questions, please write us with further detail. provideo@bhphoto.com.

Q: 2. I have a receiver setup of 5.1.4 Atmos. What will happen to the audio signal when passing through this device on a movie that contains atmos. I noticed that the device only supports 7.1.?

A: This supports up to 7.1 channels, which would tend to mean it will support lower options as well. It should work fine with the Atmos you have.

Q: 3. Can it output to 2 displays of different resolution? i.e. 4K + 1080p (downscaled)

A: This is a splitter that will output the same signal that is inputted to it. If it is given a 4K signal, the 4 HDMI outputs will have the same 4K signal. It will from there be a matter of if the TV you are using can downscale a 4K image itself.

Q: 4. Would this be appropriate for testing HDMI cables to ensure they are not damaged or bad? Would it give insight on cable quality?

A: Yes, the Kramer 4K HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 18 Gbps Signal Generator & Analyzer could work well for testing HDMI cables and getting an idea as to the quality of the cables being tested.

Q: 5. What is the maximum cable length supported?

A: They do not list a spec for a maximum cable length. usually we recommend extenders (HDBase-T/Ethernet or SDI) if you plan to run cable further than 35ft however there are specially designed Fiber Optic HDMI cables that are rated to go much longer distances (100+ft). It is always best to test the cabling before doing a permanent install as there are many factors that may add interference or complications to your set up even if it is approved by Gefen.

Q: 6. Does it create seamless cuts or is there some delay resulting in lost of signal for a second?

A: There is no visible delay when you cut with this device.

Q: 10. How to present 4 different ppt slides in a 4 monitor video wall?

A: This switcher can be configured in a few different ways. In picture-in-picture mode this switcher will allow you to have 4 different signals on 4 different monitors. So you could connect 4 computers, assign each to a screen and display 4 different PowerPoint slides that way. You can also set this as a 2x2 Video Wall. That means you would have a signal from one source spread out over the 4 screens. PowerPoint will not allow you to show 4 slides at a time, so you would need to create a custom slide or image that has 4 slides on it and make sure you have it appropriately sized and positioned on the screen.
