The VM1600 Modular Matrix Switch offers advanced access and real-time control of multiple local and remote A/V input devices and displays from a single chassis. The VM1600 allows users to independently switch and route video and/or audio content directly to various monitors, displays, projectors and/or speakers simply by pressing front panel pushbuttons. A built-in Scaler encodes the video format in order to provide seamless, real-time switching. The front panel LCD shows a quick view of active port connections, with an option to select an EDID Mode that yields the best resolution across different monitors.

VM1600 is easily expandable and accommodates a lineup of hot-swappable ATEN I/O boards. Equipped with automatic signal conversion, it allows any combination of digital video formats, such as DVI (VM7604 / VM8604) and HDMI (VM7804 / VM8804), thus making it ideal for large-scale A/V applications such as broadcasting stations, traffic and transportation-related control rooms, emergency service centers and any application that requires customizable high speed A/V signal routing.

Question: Can this start out as 4x4 then add more outputs at a later date?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

It can indeed - The Aten VM1600 accommodates hot-swappable ATEN I/O boards, so you can simply get one of the 4-port input boards, and one of the 4-port output boards listed under accessories for 4x4 configuration. At a later date, when you need more I/O ports, you can simply toss in more boards.
