BluStream 4-Way HDMI Switcher with Multi-Channel Dante Audio Breakout | SW42DA
The Blustream SW42DA is a 4-Way HDMI switch that has been designed to breakout, convert, and downmix embedded Dolby Audio or DTS Audio within a HDMI switching environment.
The SW42DA will pass native video with the embedded multi-channel audio to compatible equipment on output 1, with a second HDMI output featuring optional video down-scaling from 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 or 4:2:0, video down to 1080p, with the native embedded audio, or down-mixed 2ch audio as required.
Audio capabilities include the selection and manipulation of formats across both multichannel and 2ch downmixed. The Dante output allows for 9.1ch breakout and embedding into a Dante digital signal, and/or 7.1ch breakout with a separate 2ch down-mixed Dante output. Optical S/PDIF breakout (2ch or 5.1ch as required), individual analogue multi-channel breakout, and 2ch downmixed balanced/unbalanced analogue audio can also be broken out as required directly from the unit.
The SW42DA provides an advanced, but cost effective solution for ensuring that 4K UHD video and multi-channel audio can be distributed around a Dante multi-room system where there are a mixture of 2ch and/or 7.1ch zones or 7.1.2ch / 5.1.4ch (9.1ch) audio, with multiple output resolution requirements. Perfect for cinema and media room set up’s where local content would be shared within a multi-zone distributed system where either multichannel or down-mixed audio is required.
