Ethernet layer
All built‑in 100 Mbit Ethernet ports can be used for controlling devices such as projectors and media players or can provide Ethernet access for all connected devices from a 1 Gigabit uplink. Ethernet, as with every other Layer, can be extended over a single fiber or single CAT cable.
25G Hybrid matrix architecture is the world’s first fully compatible HDMI 1.4 matrix switcher that provides HEC and ARC functions, supports 4K resolutions and 3D formats.
USB KVM layer
With the USB KVM option, users can utilize the 25G Hybrid signal management for KVM matrix purposes. Up to 160 computers can be controlled by up to 160 operators. 25G allows point to point control. This method allows multiple operators to control one single computer or one operator to control multiple computers.
IR layer
Infrared is commonly used for remote control based applications. This Media Layer helps maintain the structure of the overall AV system. Third party control systems may send IR control commands to endpoints turning them on and off or switching their inputs.
RS-232 control layer
Full duplex bi‑directional, more robust and more reliable than IR, RS‑ 232 and RS‑422 have become the standard control media for professional AV systems. The 25G Hybrid architecture is a fully transparent platform for RS‑232 and RS‑422 control signals. Ports can be linked together or handled separately, allowing any third‑party control systems to be connected.
Forward audio layer
The Forward Audio channel is a second independent S/PDIF audio stream not related to the Embedded Audio. A separate S/PDIF matrix switch manages Stereo PCM, 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS, and various other formats.

This method allows multiple operators to control one single computer or one operator to control multiple computers.
Consumer Electronics Control layer
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is also commonly used for remote control based applications like IR. Third party control systems can also send CEC control commands to endpoints turning them on and off or switching their inputs. CEC was introduced by HDMI standard, and is a bi‑directional CEC channel.
We can link sources and destinations via CEC communication while the router itself can initiate its own commands for example: „SYSTEM ON” or „STANDBY” commands.

Return audio layer
Return Audio Layer creates the ability to send two different multichannel audio streams, one from source to display and another, a return channel in the opposite direction. Audio Return Channel (ARC) was introduced by the HDMI 1.4.standard. This S/PDIF signal is sent in the opposite direction to the video signals. Usually displays send ARC to source devices ‑ typically TV sound to audio receivers, or microphone sound from headsets to computers.
