“As more HDR content emerges, consumers will need adaptable and interoperable systems that can easily distribute content from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other services, as well as Ultra HD Blu-ray and next-generation gaming consoles,” says Joshua Castro, product manager, Atlona.
“With that comes the need to move that content from these sources to multiple displays and audio systems, with the ability to break-out audio only feeds. The AT-UHD-HD-44M provides that flexibility for the consumer while giving custom installers a solution that is both easy to install and able to support today’s demanding video requirements.”
The AT-UHD-HD-44M HDMI Matrix Switcher, which will begin shipping in Q4 2017, can be seen at Atlona’s CEDIA 2017 booth 3615.
