4x4 HDMI 2.0 Matrix Switcher

The Monoprice Blackbird 144556 is a professional 4x4 matrix switcher built for HDMI 2.0b signals. It routes any of four sources to any of four displays with full 4K60 4:4:4 support. HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 compliance protects premium content across corporate, education and entertainment installations.

Installers needing seamless switching

This unit suits AV integrators who require instant, glitch-free transitions between sources and the ability to build 2x2, 4x1 or 1x4 video walls. It is not for users who only need simple signal splitting without matrix routing. Buyers requiring more than four inputs or four outputs must look at larger chassis solutions.

HDMI 2.0b 4K60 4:4:4 capability

The single specification that decides fit is the HDMI 2.0b bandwidth carrying 4K at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling. If the installation demands higher refresh rates or greater colour depth than this standard provides, this matrix will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What video bandwidth does the HDMI 2.0b interface support on this 4x4 matrix?

The HDMI 2.0b ports handle 4K resolution at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, which is the maximum throughput this standard allows.

What rack space and cabling clearance does the unit need for installation?

It is a standard 1U rack-mount chassis weighing 11.02 kg, so allow one rack unit of height and enough rear depth for four HDMI inputs, four HDMI outputs, plus RS-232 and Ethernet cables.

How is the matrix configured initially, and which step do installers often miss?

Connect the unit to the network, then use the web browser interface to assign IP settings and map inputs to outputs; the step most often missed is saving the EDID configuration for each output before deploying the video wall layout.
