PT-SW-HDBT41 – 4x1 HDBaseT/HDMI Switcher: Signal Routing for AV Distribution and Control
The PT-SW-HDBT41 is a professional AV switcher designed for integration scenarios requiring flexible routing of multiple HDBaseT sources to a single display or remote zone. Its architecture supports both HDMI and HDBaseT outputs, enabling adaptable cable topologies for meeting rooms, control spaces, and hybrid work environments. The unit facilitates long-distance AV transmission, incorporates bidirectional control signal pass-through, and supports Power over Cable (PoC) for streamlined receiver deployment. Control interfaces include GUI, TCP/IP, RS232, and front panel operation, supporting diverse system management requirements.

• Multi-Source HDBaseT Switching: The device enables seamless switching between four independent HDBaseT input signals, routing to either an HDMI or HDBaseT output. This configuration supports efficient source selection in collaborative workspaces, conference rooms, or digital signage installations where multiple remote sources require centralised management.

• 4K UltraHD Signal Support: HDMI 1.4 compatibility ensures the transmission of video resolutions up to 4K UltraHD at 30 Hz. This facilitates high-quality image delivery for applications demanding clear, detailed visuals, such as presentation suites or control room displays.

• Extended HDBaseT Transmission Distances: The switcher transmits AV signals over HDBaseT cabling up to 40 metres for 4K content and 70 metres for 1080p. This capability supports flexible equipment placement and reliable signal delivery in larger meeting spaces or distributed AV systems.

• Bidirectional IR and CEC Pass-Through: Integrated pass-through for infrared (IR) and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) signals allows remote device management and synchronised control between source and display equipment, streamlining system operation in professional AV environments.

• PoC and Versatile Control Options: Power over Cable (PoC) support enables the connected receiver to draw power directly from the switcher, reducing the need for local power supplies. Multiple control interfaces—GUI, TCP/IP, RS232, and front panel—accommodate a wide range of integration and automation scenarios.

Comprehensive Signal Management for AV Installations
This unit provides a centralised solution for routing, extending, and controlling AV signals in professional settings. By combining multi-source switching, long-range HDBaseT transmission, and integrated control functionality, the PT-SW-HDBT41 supports efficient system design and deployment in environments where flexibility and reliability are essential.
