VS−88H2 is a high−performance 8x8 matrix switcher for 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) HDR signals and digital audio routing. It reclocks and equalizes the signals and can route any one of 8 HDMI, HDCP−compliant sources (selectable) to any or all outputs simultaneously. VS−88H2 offers unmatched audio flexibility where any embedded digital audio input can be routed to any digital output in addition to eight ARC sources to produce an equivalent 16x16 audio matrix.
