Description
Switch and route up to eight HDMI sources originating from Blu-ray players, game consoles, satellite systems, and more with this 8K 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher from AVPro Edge. This versatile matrix switcher supports HDMI 2.1a, HDCP 2.3, and up to 8K60 with an ultrawide bandwidth of 40 Gb/s. In addition to having full HDR support and dual audio de-embedding, the switcher features eight HDMI inputs and eight HDMI outputs as well as eight analog and eight digital audio outputs with integrated scaling.Advanced EDID management and IR, RS-232, and LAN control options are among the many features available, with a built-in test pattern generator that, together with the troubleshooting features in the GUI, serves to aid with wire verification, switcher configuration settings, and source viability.Stable HDMI Signal Transport Output equalization and amplification precisely regulates feed-forward equalization and finite impulse response, critical for accurate HDMI data transfer over long cable distances, preserving signal integrity, image fidelity, and audio quality.Full HDR Support As dynamic metadata in HDR content pushes color boundaries for compatible displays, AVPro Edge 8K devices repeat and passthrough HDR content retaining 100% of the fidelity in the signal. HDR, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, and IMAX Enhanced are all seamlessly handled by the unit's imaging circuitry, delivering full color volume and accurate tone mapping metadata to connected displays.Downscaling 8K to 4K plus 8K and 4K to 1080p downscaling is available at all eight outputs, assuring compatibility with mixed-HDMI systems.Precision EDID Management With the AVPro Edge GUI, EDID signal management is no longer the frustrating challenge previously proven to be. The GUI accesses 29 selectable EDIDs on board, including those related to problem-free HDR configurations, and offers a "read" feature that learns an EDID from any connected display, which may be applied to any inputs.Built-In Test Pattern Save unproductive labor hours of directionless detective work by identifying issues in advance. Confidently leave worksites on schedule, conveying to clients your installation expertise and successful system deployment by using the internal test pattern generator for checking source viability, wire verification, and switcher configuration settings.Dual Audio De-Embedding Users may extract 2-channel PCM audio from each output (please note: the analog ports only support 2-channel PCM). Eight digital optical TOSLINK outputs support 7.1 LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, and DTS Master Audio. Extracted audio routing options include:Bind to output (extracted audio swaps with the video as the default mode).Bind to input (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number).Independent (extracted audio is routed however integrators like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix).Flexible Audio Adjustment Individually tailor the sound for each extracted output with adjustments available for volume level and left/right balance while taming troublesome acoustic environments with a comprehensive, 10-band EQ. Audio delay provides lip-sync correction, varying from an off state to adjustment points starting at 90 ms and up through 630 ms.Built-In Simple Video Switching Control With admin control, integrators can leave the user with limited access to GUI features, perfect for a scenario that may only require straightforward source switching with access to setup, diagnostics commands, audio adjustments, or EDID management unnecessary.
