Key benefits of using AC-MX88-AUHD

HDBaseT Compatibility Mode (HDBT-C) ~ This EXCLUSIVE AVProConnect technology allows you to convert high bandwidth signals that are between 9 Gbps – 18Gbps like UHD Players, HDR Content, Gaming Systems, PC’s, and Media Players.  The conversion uses a proprietary algorithm that impacts the original image a little as possible so you can transmit your HDR and high bandwidth signals over long distance transmission devices like HDBaseT Extenders (AC-EX70-UHD) or use a display that does not support 18G.  Best of all, this is managed on a per output basis so you have complete control over what individual runs are “down-clocked”

4K Up/Down Scaling ~ This technology is managed on each output.  This will allow you to upscale 1080p sources to 4K (With Image Enhancement), or downscale 4K sources to individual outputs that may not support 4K to 1080p.  This completely eliminates the problem that all other matrices have that forces them to “dumb down” the entire system even if there is only 1 old 1080P display.

Extreme EDID Management ~ With 29 on board EDID’s, including HDR EDID’s,  not getting a picture is simply a thing of the past.  You can manage the input side of the switch by selecting a preloaded EDID.  We also have the ability to INSTANTLY read an EDID from any connected display and apply it to the desired input, all with the push of a button.  Goodbye EDID problems…

Dual Audio De-Embedding ~ NEW FOR 2017! Our unique Audio De-Embedding allows:

The user can extract 2 Channel PCM  audio from each output (Balanced 5-Pin Terminal Block, pre-made conversion to L/R cables available).  NOTE:  the Analog Port only supports 2CH PCM  – for down-mixing check out AC-ADM-AUHD or AC-ADM-COTO

It features 4 digital optical toslink outputs for with support for 7CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, DTS Master Audio.

Extracted audio routing options include: Bind to output (extracted audio witches with the video, this is the default mode); Bind to input (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number); Independent (extracted audio can be routed however you like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix).

Audio Delay ~  With the AC-MX44-AUHD you can manage audio delay on the balanced or digital outputs per output.  This features up to 630ms of delay so your lip sync problems simply vanish.  Audio delay can be managed directly from the front panel for ease of use and simple setup with the push of a button.

Built In Test Pattern ~ The unit features an internal test pattern that can be initialized to verify that the infrastructure after the Matrix is in tact.  This saves hours of painful troubleshooting, and allows you to identify problems before they become problems.  Pattern is per output.

Matrix Switch Application

• Definition – Matrix switchers provide the ability to route any input to any output or to multiple outputs at any time. Depending on the model, a matrix switcher can route HD, UHD or SUHD content in this manner. Additionally, since most venues have audio zones and video zones the requirement to breakout or strip off the audio in often necessary and has become almost a standard feature on matrix switches.
• Control – Matrix switches are generally controlled via 3rd party controller like Control 4, RTI, Crestron and others. Many integrators want ready made drivers for their control system to make programming and deployment easier.
• Who uses them? – At the heart of almost every custom install is a matrix switch to ease routing and distribution of signals throughout the install including Audio, Video and Control – so, you have a product that can compete on price, performance, compatibility, and control.
• Matrix Switches are used widely in both Commercial and Residential Applications
