In today’s world where entertainment and work often intersect, spaces must be designed to serve multiple functions—without sacrificing quality or user experience. That’s exactly the challenge faced by a gaming lounge in downtown Singapore, which doubles as a daytime co-working and meeting venue.

A Real Need for Seamless Switching

The space was equipped with next-gen gaming consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, ultra-HD projectors, and 8K displays. During the day, clients used the same screens for business presentations, video conferences, and training sessions. The constant need to switch between devices—quickly and without reconnecting cables—was becoming a real pain point.

They needed a simple, stable, and high-performance HDMI switch that could:

• Handle 8K@60Hz content without lag or signal loss

• Support bi-directional switching (either one input to two outputs, or two inputs to one output)

• Work reliably with different devices—laptops, consoles, media players

• Fit into a clean, professional-looking setup

• Require minimal user interaction

The MZ302S Solution

The lounge installed several units of the Mattzon MZ302S HDMI 2.1 Bi-directional Switch, and the difference was immediate.

In gaming mode, users could easily switch from gaming on a personal monitor to sharing gameplay on the big screen for tournaments or team play. The 8K@60Hz support delivered stunning clarity and zero lag—even during fast-paced action games.

In business mode, users could plug in their laptops and present on either a projector or large LCD with one simple press—no fumbling with cables or remote controls.

The MZ302S also eliminated the need for power adapters thanks to its self-powered design, reducing cable clutter and setup time.

Real Results

• Faster transitions between sessions

• Reduced wear and tear on HDMI ports and cables

• A cleaner, more professional-looking setup

• A better experience for both gamers and business users
