Introduction

IOGEAR’s 4Kx2K 4-Port HD Switch allows users to connect up to four HD 

source devices to one HD display and supports Ultra HD 4Kx2K, the latest 

digital format for high-definition displays at a distance of up to 50ft. For easy 

access and convenience, this switch has one HD port on the front panel 

that can be used to connect your portable devices, such as laptops, tablets 

or digital cameras, while the other three HD ports on the back provide 

permanent connections for your Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, game 

consoles and more. 

Switching between source devices can be done via the front panel push-

buttons, RS-232 bi-directional control or IR remote control with front panel 

LEDs indicators for each source device. The built-in bi-directional RS-232 

serial port allows you to control the switch through a high-end controller, PC 

and / or home automation / home theater software system.
