Introduction 

 

New 600 MHz HDMI switch designed for switching in home and commercial 
environments where switching of high-bandwidth UHD (2160P60 4:4:4) content 
is required 

– or just to be safe for future sources including the “new blu” coming 

this fall. The SW42 features 4 HDMI 2.0 Inputs and 1 HDMI 2.0 output, digital 
audio de-embedding of active channel and an Ethernet port and WebOS for 
setup, switching, EDID management, firmware updates and remote reset. 
Additionally, the SW42 is controllable via built in IR receiver or RS-232. The 
SW42 also has a mirrored HDBaseT 100 meter port (single CAT5e of higher). 
SW42 also routes Ethernet and is compliant with the entire Zigen ecosystem of 
products by routing network commands and control in receiver nodes.
