Black Box AVSC-0401H-R2 is a compact 4x1 mixed-signal input switcher that accepts HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA sources and outputs a single 4K-capable signal to a display. Designed for rooms and installations where modern digital sources are used alongside legacy equipment, this switcher provides straightforward selection of one of four connected devices and presents the chosen source at up to 4K resolution on the output device. The unit is intended for use in meeting rooms, classrooms, presentation areas and AV racks where easy source management and compatibility across interface types are required.
Advantages
The AVSC-0401H-R2 supports simultaneous connection of HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA devices, reducing the need for separate converters or multiple displays. It consolidates signal routing so users can switch between laptops, media players and older computers without cable swapping. The 4K-capable output ensures compatibility with high-resolution displays, while the compact form factor and single-output design simplify installation in tight spaces. Control options and straightforward operation minimize setup time during events and meetings.

How to use
Install the AVSC-0401H-R2 near the display or in an AV rack and connect the display to the unit's output using a compatible video cable. Plug up to four source devices into the HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA inputs as required. Use the front-panel controls, remote control, or any provided control interface to select the desired input; the selected source is routed to the display at the supported output resolution. Ensure source devices are configured with compatible output settings and that cables are seated firmly to avoid signal loss.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use high-quality video cables rated for the required resolutions, verify source output settings to match display capabilities, and place the switcher where cables remain organized and free from sharp bends. When using VGA sources, ensure proper grounding and, if necessary, adjust source display settings to optimize image clarity on the 4K display.
