The ADNet ADP-HM-1102 is a high-performance 2×4 HDMI Matrix Switcher designed for environments that require flexible signal routing. Unlike a simple splitter (which shows the same thing on all screens) or a basic switch (which only takes one input at a time), a Matrix allows you to cross-route any input to any output independently.

Core Specifications

• Configuration: 2 HDMI Inputs to 4 HDMI Outputs.

• Resolution: Supports up to 4K @ 60Hz (Ultra HD).

• Bandwidth: 18Gbps (HDMI 2.0 compliant).

• Color Space: Supports YUV 4:4:4, HDR10, and Dolby Vision.

• Audio Extraction: Features dedicated audio ports (typically Toslink/Optical and 3.5mm L/R) to send sound to an external amplifier or soundbar without needing the TV speakers.

Key Features & Functionality

1. Matrix vs. Splitter Mode

This device operates in two primary ways:

• Matrix Mode: Send “Input A” to “Output 1 & 2” while simultaneously sending “Input B” to “Output 3 & 4.”

• Splitter Mode: Send “Input A” to all four screens at once.

2. EDID Management

The ADP-HM-1102 usually includes an EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management system. This ensures that the source device (like a PS5 or PC) outputs a resolution that is compatible with all connected displays, preventing “black screen” issues when mixing 4K and 1080p monitors.

3. Downscaling Capability

Many models in this series support 4K to 1080p downscaling. This allows you to watch 4K content on a 4K TV in one room while simultaneously viewing the same source in 1080p on an older monitor in another room.

Best Use Cases

• Home Theater: Switch between a gaming console and a satellite box across a living room TV and a projector.

• Sports Bars/Retail: Show different games or advertisements on different screens from just two media players.

• Conference Rooms: Easily toggle between two laptops for presentation displays.

Note: Ensure you are using Premium High-Speed HDMI cables to achieve the full 4K @ 60Hz experience; lower-quality cables may result in flickering or a drop to 30Hz.
