Barco PDS-4K HDMI Single/dual screen presentation switcher IN: 6x H...
Product Overview
The Barco PDS-4K HDMI presentation switcher (R9009650B) is a small-venue 4K seamless switcher and the successor to the PDS-902 3G. This HDMI-only base configuration accepts six HDMI 2.0 inputs and drives four HDMI outputs, processing UHD 4K signals at up to 60 Hz with low latency. Event Master Athena scaling keeps source transitions clean for small to mid-size events. Operators run the unit from front-panel pushbuttons or remotely over Ethernet through the built-in web UI.
Product Description
The PDS-4K R9009650B routes six HDMI 2.0 inputs into a processing engine that drives four HDMI program outputs, supporting single, dual, and quad screen switching. The unit supports picture-in-picture to display up to two live sources at once, and Athena scaling technology, shared across the Barco Event Master platform, maintains clarity and limits artifacts during transitions. An open option card slot keeps the switcher expandable, accepting the Audio/DisplayPort 1.2 card to add DisplayPort inputs and Dante audio later.
Productions that need SDI connectivity should consider the PDS-4K HDMI & SDI switcher (R9009651B), while those wanting Dante audio out of the box can choose the PDS-4K HDMI with Audio/DisplayPort card (R9009652). Browse the full Barco collection for Event Master processors and projection gear.
