This state-of-the-art device, housed in a 1RU enclosure, is designed to seamlessly switch between eight different HDMI inputs and route them to any of the eight HDMI outputs. It's an ideal solution for managing multiple sources like computers, video game consoles, and Blu-ray players.

The HSM-I-08-08 stands out with its audio de-embedding feature and independent routing via a separate audio cross point. This means the audio signal from each HDMI input can be routed independently of video routing, providing you with greater control and flexibility.

The front panel LCD readout ensures easy setup and control, while the preset save and recall feature allows for quick access to commonly used routing patterns. The intelligent EDID capability mapping ensures audio and video compatibility among multiple sink devices.

The HSM-I-08-08 also includes an RS-232 port with Hall Research's Genesis Control Command Set (GCCS) and an IP (LAN) port with a built-in web-server for easy controls. The IP control feature allows you to manage your video switch from anywhere using a PC or smartphone, making it a truly innovative solution for your audio and video needs.
