v AV Access 4x2 HDMI matrix 4K@60Hz
Product description
If you need flexible HDMI routing for a home cinema setup or a small AV install, the AV Access Professional 4x2 HDMI matrix is built to make source switching straightforward. With support for up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0, it helps you send one of multiple inputs to two displays at the same time, giving you more control over where your content goes. It also includes HDR10 and a 3D effect, plus audio support that covers ARC and SPDIF output for a more complete media experience. 🎬
This is a practical choice when you want to manage devices such as set top boxes, game consoles, and streaming players without constantly unplugging cables. The 4x2 layout means you get four HDMI inputs feeding two HDMI outputs, and the output resolution can be handled independently across different displays. Worth noting, like many HDMI matrices, exact behaviour can depend on the capabilities of your TV, receiver, and connected sources.
The essentials
The key advantage of this v AV Access matrix switch is its ability to route HDMI signals between multiple sources and multiple screens. You can connect up to four HDMI devices and choose which one goes to each of the two outputs, so both TVs or displays can stay in use without swapping leads. Support for 4K@60Hz is included according to the product description, alongside HDR10 and a 3D effect, which is helpful if your viewing depends on modern video features.
It also supports simultaneous operation, with the description stating that the system can play 4K and 1080p together. That means you can keep one display running at higher resolution while another runs at 1080p, depending on what your setup needs. If you are building a consistent routine for movies, sports, and gaming, this flexibility can reduce friction day to day.
On the audio side, the matrix includes both ARC support and SPDIF output. ARC can be enabled via a DIP switch on output 2, while the SPDIF output supports PCM 2.0 and 5.1, plus DTS 5.1ch and multiple HDMI audio formats according to the provided information. For viewers who use an AV receiver or soundbar, that makes it easier to keep sound connected properly when you switch sources.
Key features
The device supports 4K to 1080p downscaling, which is useful if one display does not support 4K input or if you want consistent compatibility across mixed equipment. The description also mentions that output resolution from different outputs can vary, so you can adapt to the capabilities of each connected screen. CEC controls are supported, with the matrix allowing automatic and manual CEC handling so your system can behave more like a single integrated setup. 📺
You get multiple ways to control switching, so you are not limited to one method. The three control options mentioned are an IR remote control, a keyboard style front panel control, and RS232 serial control. If you use IR remotes in a busy room, there is a system code switch to reduce interference with other IR devices, which is a thoughtful detail for real-world installations.
For integration, the matrix also provides RS232 API documentation, so installers and system builders who rely on serial control can set it up more predictably. The product description also specifies HDCP 2.2 support, which helps with compatibility when using protected HDMI sources. Finally, it lists an 18Gbps bandwidth specification, which supports the overall handling of high bandwidth video signals such as 4K content.

Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you want a neat, cable-light HDMI switching setup for two displays in a home entertainment room, especially when you have several sources like a console, a set top box, and a streaming player. You’ll like it if you value the ability to route content simultaneously while keeping each output flexible for resolution differences between displays. It also makes sense if you need ARC on output 2 and want SPDIF audio options when using an AV receiver.
It might not suit you if your setup only needs one screen and single-source viewing, since a matrix adds extra configuration steps. It also helps to consider your TV and receiver support for features like Atmos synchronisation, since the description notes that both the TV and receiver need to support Atmos for this to work properly. If you have the HDMI ecosystem to match, the control options, including IR, panel control, and RS232 integration, can make day to day use feel much more consistent.
