The EL-8500VA is a multi-format scaling HDMI, USB Type-C, HDBaseT, and VGA input presentation switch, which allows the user to output at a scaled resolution of their choosing over the mirrored HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. The HDMI and USB-C ports support resolutions up to 4K@60 (4:4:4, 8-bit), while the HDBaseT output supports automatic down-conversion of 4K60 (4:4:4) sources to 4K60 (4:2:0). The VGA inputs support resolutions up to WUXGA. The HDBaseT output provides a solution to extend audio and video up to 70 metres (at 4K) over a single run of Cat.5e/6/7 cable, while also providing 48V PoH power to compatible HDBaseT receivers.
The unit also includes multiple analogue stereo audio inputs and a microphone input, along with an amplified analogue stereo output, providing a range of audio routing and mixing flexibility. The built-in audio mixer function allows the user to mix audio from any analogue input with the microphone input for presentation or lecture theatre use, with the ability to switch between mixed and non-mixed audio.
A trigger input interface is also provided to allow the easy addition of a remote control keypad or other trigger-supporting products, which can be installed within a podium or table in a conference room or classroom, enabling function activation with the press of a button. Standard control is available via front panel buttons with On-Screen Display (OSD), Web GUI, Telnet, and RS-232.
