Features
Overview: The Xantech XT-HDMI-XM44-4K18G 4x2 HDMI Matrix lets you connect up to 4 HDMI input sources to 4 displays, while providing front-panel and IR remote control selection of the input source. The XT-HDMI-MX44-4K18G supports the full HDMI 2.0 specification and is HDCP 2.2 compliant. The 4x4 HDMI matrix also supports video resolutions up to 4K/UHD @60Hz, with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and HDMI data rates up to 18Gbps. Other features include:
- HDMI Formats: All current HDMI formats are supported including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
- EDID: The Xantech HDMI Matrix manages EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) communications from the source to the display, ensuring the best video resolution and audio format is provided. Normally, this data is used by the playback source to determine the best resolution and audio, based on the display's specifications. When multiple displays are connected together or video matrix switching is introduced, many variables can arise, causing connection delays. An EDID 4-switch DIP selector on the splitter lets you manually select the type of video and audio signal being sent out to the connected display (see list below).
Input & Output Matrix: The Xantech HDMI Matrix features 4 HDMI inputs that can be assigned to any of the 4 HDMI outputs using front-panel push-button selectors for each output. Corresponding LEDs will light to show which HDMI input has been selected for that output.
4 Zone Audio Breakout: Four rear-panel coaxial digital (S/PDIF) and 3.5mm analog audio jacks provide the audio outputs for each corresponding HDMI output. Each coax digital outputs can pass up to 7.1 channel information to a home theater amplifier or multi-channel processor. The 3.5mm audio jacks support 2-channel PCM signals only.
IR Signals: Four 3.5mm IR In jacks and four Source IR Out jacks can be used with optional IR flashers and emitters (both sold separately). This lets you control each HDMI input device from the playback areas. An additional 3.5mm IR Ext. input lets you use an optional IR extender for controlling the HDMI Matrix remotely.
IR Remote Control: A hand-held IR remote control (included) lets you power the HDMI Matrix On/Off, select the HDMI Input for each Output, and make EDID selections for each input.
RS-232: A rear-panel RS-232 port lets you control the 4x4 Matrix using an optional third-party RS-232 enabled controller (sold separately).
Applications: The Xantech 4x4 HDMI Matrix is designed for both commercial and residential applications.
- Residential: Residential installations include connecting multiple HD signal sources, such as an Ultra HD Blu-ray player or HD video-streaming device, out to 4 displays, TVs, or projectors in an AV system.
- TV Showrooms: The XT-HDMI-MX44-4K18G can be used for properly demonstrating 4K programming in a retail environment.
- Professional AV: The 4x4 HDMI Matrix is ideal for conferences and presentations requiring highly detailed 4K graphics, 3D renderings, simulations, and more.
Mounting: The XT-HDMI-MX44-4K18G features 4 built-in rubberized feet for placing the unit on a flat surface. Two mounting brackets are also included that allow the HDMI switcher to be secured to a shelf or equipment panel.
Power: The Xantech HDMI Matrix includes an AC power supply (12VDC/2A output) that attaches to a rear-panel input socket. The attaching power cable includes a threaded locking-collar for a secure connection. A rear-panel rocker switch is provided for powering the Matrix On/Off.

A little quirky to operate but once you get it ( help from Crutchfield tech support) it works great and cleaned up a mess of wires, no need for splitters and source switches all in one.
