• Built-in control capability — Designed for handling essential AV functions, such as display on/off, input switching, volume control, and control of AV devices over Ethernet, RS‑232, IR, and CEC connections.
• Supports computer and video resolutions up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K
• Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K
• Auto‑switching between inputs — Auto-switching allows for intuitive operation in collaboration spaces. Multiple switching priority modes are available, including last-connected input and user-selectable priority.
• Stereo audio embedding — Analog stereo audio may be selectively embedded onto any of the transmitter's video inputs.
• Stereo audio de‑embedding — Embedded HDMI two‑channel PCM audio can be extracted to the receiver's analog audio output, or multi‑channel bitstream formats can be passed to the HDMI output.
• Remote power capability — The receiver sends power to the transmitter over the twisted pair connection for simplified installation.
• Advanced scaling engine with 30‑bit precision processing and motion-adaptive deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i — Image scaling and video format conversion are performed at 30‑bit precision with 4:4:4 chroma processing for enhanced color accuracy and picture detail. Advanced deinterlacing for all interlaced signals up to 1080i delivers optimized image quality.
• Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
• Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques that help maximize image quality for content sources that originated from film.
• On‑screen menus — Intuitive on‑screen menus allow for easy system setup using the front panel controls.
• Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup — The unit offers several video test patterns and audio pink noise to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of display devices.
• Extron XTP DTP 24 shielded twisted pair cable is strongly recommended for optimal performance
• Compatible with CATx shielded twisted pair cable — The HC 404 fully supports a maximum transmission distance of 230 feet (70 meters) for all compatible resolutions when used with CATx shielded twisted pair cable. Shielded twisted pair cabling with solid center conductor sizes of 24 AWG or better is recommended for optimal performance.
• Comprehensive EDID management — Use PCS software to access EDID Minder for setting video input EDID, capturing EDID from connected displays, or uploading custom EDID files. Proper EDID management ensures that sources and displays are easily integrated into a system resulting in optimized system operation. Freely downloadable EDID Manager 2.1 software is available for advanced EDID editing and creating custom EDID files.
• EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.
• HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.
• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP compliant or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.
• HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display, a full‑screen green signal is sent to the display for immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display.
• Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats
• CEC - Consumer Electronics Control Capability — Standard, built-in CEC commands can be triggered to control displays or other AV devices connected to the HDMI output. The ability to control specific functions, such as power on/off, input selection, or volume level, is dependent on implementation by the device manufacturer.
• Output muting control — The video and audio output may be muted independently.
• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
• Automatic color bit depth management — Automatically adjusts color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display.
• Supports multiple embedded audio formats — The HC 404 is compatible with a broad range of multi‑channel audio signals, providing reliable operation with HDMI sources.
• Front panel LED indicators for signal presence, HDCP status, audio format, and power — Provides visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.

• Supports secure industry standard communication protocols — The HC 404 uses industry standard communication protocols, including HTTP (insecure), HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, SMTP, NTP, Discovery Service, DHCP, DNS, ICMP, and IPv4.
• Automatic display control via bi-directional RS-232, Ethernet, IR, or CEC — The ability for CEC to control specific display functions, such as power on/off, input selection, or volume level, is dependent on implementation by the display manufacturer.
• Four Digital I/O ports — Allows for interfacing with other systems in the room.
• Contact closure remote control with tally output — Allows for remote selection of an input located at the transmitter, while a tally output provides +5 VDC to light an LED to indicate the currently selected input.
