2 × 2 Matrix – HDfury Vertex glossary
Vertex has two HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, enabling flexible routing rather than only duplicating one source.
The Vertex has two HDMI inputs (for players) and two HDMI outputs (for screens or receivers).
It is like a small train junction with two tracks in and two tracks out: you decide which train goes to which platform.
You can send one source to both outputs, or send each source to its own output.
Can the HDfury Vertex work as a 2x2 HDMI matrix?
YESYes. The Vertex has 2 inputs and 2 outputs. In Splitter mode one input goes to both outputs; in Matrix mode each output shows a different input. Signals up to 4K60 4:4:4 8-bit (18 Gbps) are supported.
How to use it with the Vertex:
- Hold the INP button for more than 2 seconds to enter or leave Matrix mode (p.10).
- Short press INP: it switches the input in Splitter mode and swaps the two inputs in Matrix mode (p.10).
- In the USB GUI, use Active Input (top left) to pick an input or a Matrix mode (p.27).
- RS232: #set input x, where x is top, bot, thru or swap (p.48).
What it is
Vertex has two HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, enabling flexible routing rather than only duplicating one source.
Why it matters
HDMI behaviour is determined by the complete signal chain. Vertex exposes and manages these technical layers so mixed sources, displays, projectors and AV processors can be configured more deliberately instead of relying only on automatic handshakes.
Common questions
What is the difference between Splitter mode and Matrix mode?
In Splitter mode one active input goes to both outputs, and a short press on INP switches the input. In Matrix mode each output shows a different input, and a short press swaps them; hold INP for more than 2 seconds to enter or leave Matrix mode (p.10).
Can the two outputs get different resolutions?
Yes. Each output can have its own scaling rules (p.107), so the TOP (downscale) output can, for example, feed a 1080p receiver while the BOT output sends 4K to the TV (p.103).
How large a signal can the matrix handle?
Up to 4K60 4:4:4 8-bit, 4K60 4:2:2 12-bit, 4K120 4:2:0 8-bit or 8K30 4:2:0 8-bit (p.109).
