- Meeting rooms and conference rooms
The OME-MS42 can serve as an AV integration centerpiece in a credenza, with interfacing into sources in the rack.
- Auditoriums and lecture halls
This switcher can be used for presenting 4K video content through the projector, while also optimizing for a 1080p confidence monitor.
