The StarTech.com 2x2 HDMI Matrix Switch is designed for professionals who need to manage and switch between two HDMI audio/video sources to two displays, with a key benefit of supporting Ultra HD 4K resolution for exceptional image clarity. A potential caveat is that it requires external power, and while it supports 4K, some older HDMI versions might not be fully compatible. This device simplifies A/V routing with multiple switching options, ensuring seamless transitions and high-quality visuals for various applications.

The switch supports Ultra HD 4K resolution, which is 3840 x 2160 pixels, typically at 30Hz.
It features two HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, allowing for a 2x2 matrix configuration.
Yes, this is a matrix switcher, so you can independently route each input to either output. You can also route Input 1 to both Output 1 and Output 2, for example.
The switch supports HDMI audio signals along with video. It is designed for passing through the audio embedded in the HDMI signal. It supports up to 7.1 audio channels.
You can switch using four modes: Matrix (independent routing), Fast Auto-Switching (detects new sources), Priority Switching (sets a preferred source), and Manual switching via front panel buttons or the included IR remote control. RS-232 serial control is also available.
Yes, it supports 1080p resolutions and is backward compatible with older HDMI devices, provided they adhere to the HDMI 1.4 specification or earlier for signal compatibility.
Yes, an AC adapter is included and required for the operation of the matrix switch.
Yes, the VS222HD4K is TAA compliant.
Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the sources, the switch, and the displays. Verify that the AC adapter is properly connected and the unit is powered on (check LED indicators). Try a different HDMI cable or display to isolate the issue.
Check that the HDMI sources are outputting a compatible resolution. Ensure EDID settings are correctly communicated; try power cycling the switch and displays. If using RS-232 control, verify EDID settings are being sent correctly.
Confirm that only one source is active when expecting an automatic switch, or ensure the priority source is correctly configured. Test each input source individually. Check the manual for specific auto-switching behavior based on source signal detection.
Ensure the IR receiver on the front of the switch is not obstructed. Check that the remote control has a functional battery. Test the remote control with another compatible device if possible.
Verify that the RS-232 cable is correctly wired and securely connected to both the switch and the control device. Ensure the correct COM port and baud rate settings are used on the controlling device, as specified in the product manual.
