Hall Research Launches SW-HD-4 Switcher

Published: August 10, 2015

Hall Research has announced the release of SW-HD-4, a 4-input HDMI switcher with InstaPort technology from Silicon Image that enables fast switching of four HDMI sources to a single HDMI output.

The switcher supports 4K (UHD), 3D and 36-bit deep-color video. Users can control switching via front panel buttons, IR remote, RS-232 , Telnet or the built-in WebGUI. Full EDID control is provided, so the user can choose from a list of standard EDID tables or copy the EDID from the connected display to any input.
Here’s more from the Hall Research press release:

The SW-HD-4 features auto-switching mode. In this mode the switcher scans all inputs and automatically selects the active input for display. Priority is based on position with #1 input having the highest priority. Front panel buttons can be locked to prevent users from switching or changing modes.

The switcher can selectively disable HDCP support for any input forcing the source to send unencrypted video (if the content permits it). This is a useful feature in cases where the input is from a notebook such as Apple’s Macbook and the output is connected to a device that does not support HDCP such as a video conferencing system.

The SW-HD-4 provides a USB port with up to 500 ma of current available to power external devices such as Google’s Chromecast or Amazon’s Fire TV. Optional brackets are also available for 1U rack mounting.
