The 4x2 HDMI 4K Quad Multiviewer V3 with Rotation & USB Video Capture from Avenview is capable of handling up to four HDMI input sources with resolutions up to UHD 4K. It can merge these four video signals into one output for display on a single HDMI UHD or HD monitor. Users can manage each input through the provided control software, enabling them to create custom layouts and positions for the four inputs on a single screen.

This versatile device supports a comprehensive range of video resolutions and includes RCA audio breakout for external audio distribution. Users can choose to play audio from any input or mute it as needed. Thanks to its powerful processing, the unit enables fast switching between up to eight user-defined functions, controllable via Ethernet, RS-232, or an IR Remote. It also allows for cropping of up to four HDMI inputs to eliminate black bars, combining them seamlessly onto one monitor.

With the included control software, users can configure picture-in-picture (PIP), picture-aside-picture (PAP), or overlay layouts via Ethernet or RS-232. They can also adjust the size and position of each channel to create different layouts on the monitor.
