ATEN 4 x 2 True 4K Presentation Matrix Switch with Scaling, DSP, and HDBaseT-Lite

The ATEN VP1421 is a versatile all-in-one presentation switch designed for conference rooms, educational facilities, and professional AV setups. It combines a video matrix, True 4K scaler, HDBaseT extension, advanced audio DSP, and analog-to-digital conversion into a compact rack-mountable chassis, simplifying complex AV integrations. Supporting resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz with HDR, it ensures vibrant and detailed visual content for any presentation or display scenario. The device allows seamless switching among four sources, including one HDBaseT, two HDMI, and one VGA, providing flexibility for diverse input types while simultaneously scaling outputs for crisp, clear images on connected displays.

Equipped with HDBaseT-Lite technology, the VP1421 transmits uncompressed AV signals, power, IR, and RS-232 control over a single Cat 6/6a cable up to 70 meters, significantly reducing cabling complexity and installation costs. The built-in audio DSP supports microphone input with 48V phantom power, enabling clear speech reproduction by mixing microphone audio with program sound and embedding it into the display output. Moreover, the device supports flexible audio embedding and de-embedding options, such as extracting audio to separate outputs or embedding stereo audio into HDMI signals, allowing tailored audio configurations to suit specific environments.

Control options are comprehensive, including front-panel pushbuttons, IR remote, web-based GUI, RS-232, Ethernet, and contact closure interfaces, enabling straightforward operation and integration into existing control systems. The scaler feature supports upscaling to 4K for display A and downscaling to 1080p for display B, ensuring compatibility with various display capabilities. With support for HDR and multi-format AV switching, the ATEN VP1421 offers superior video quality and operational flexibility, making it an ideal choice for professional AV setups requiring high-resolution content, reliable signal extension, and versatile control.
