They are designed to support Optoma’s ProScene projector range and provide seamless video switching and scaling in meeting rooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms and auditoriums.

The PS200/300 series accept 4K inputs with refresh rates of up to 60Hz and can downscale to any lower resolution. These models can also up-scale any signal to a maximum of 4K 60Hz for fast motion video. Input video is processed with only one frame delay
Each model is fitted with eight-line level stereo audio inputs plus two microphone inputs with phantom power. They also include a built-in audio mixer and a stereo 30W amplifier with two loudspeaker outputs.
