Q: 2. Is the receiver required? I'm running directly to a projector that accepts HDbaseT as an input.

A: I can't perceive any sound colorization or deterioration with this switcher. Perfect solution for me. Very quiet switching with no perceivable pop .

Q: 4. Is this capable of seamless switching?

A: The Alfatron MUH44E 4x4 4K HDBaseT Matrix Switcher is not considered a seamless switcher.

Q: 5. can i select more than one knob in the same time? (4example: switch between 5.1 and stereo signal)
