Kanex Pro Inc SW-HD20-5X14K 4K Hdmi 5x1 Switcher

Product Description

The KANEX PRO INC SW-HD20-5X14K is a 5-input, 1-output HDMI switcher with 4K resolution support at 30Hz. It consolidates multiple HDMI source devices into a single display output, eliminating the need to manually swap cables at the back of a monitor or display. This type of unit is typically installed in AV distribution setups, conference rooms, classrooms, or service bays where multiple sources must feed one screen. AV integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this switcher.

This switcher suits applications where up to five HDMI sources need to share a single display. Typical scenarios include multi-source presentation systems, digital signage backrooms, and workstation setups where space and cable management are priorities. The 4K at 30Hz capability supports high-resolution content playback from compatible source devices. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both light commercial and residential AV installations.

Key Features

• 5 HDMI inputs routed to 1 HDMI output for centralized source management
• 4K resolution support at 30Hz for high-definition content
• Reduces cable swapping at the display by centralizing source switching

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or AV integrator. Power down all source devices and the display before making HDMI connections. Verify that source devices and the display both support 4K at 30Hz to ensure full resolution output. Follow applicable local low-voltage and NEC guidelines when routing signal cables through walls or conduit.
