Composite Matrix Switch Buyer's Guide: Route SD Video and Audio Anywhere
A composite matrix switch displays composite video and stereo audio from multiple sources on multiple displays independently. It is the workhorse for routing standard-definition AV from gaming consoles, DVD/VCR players, camcorders, satellite receivers, and CATV set-top boxes to many destinations. A true non-blocking router, it combines a composite splitter and switch in one unit. KVMSwitchTech stocks composite matrices in 4x2, 4x4, 8x2, 8x4, 8x8, and 16x16 configurations with CE, FCC, and RoHS approvals.
