AVPro Edge 8 x 8 HDMI 4K Matrix Switcher

The AVPro Edge 8 x 8 HDMI 4K Matrix Switcher is an 8 x 8 HDMI matrix switch that supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.3, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gb/s bandwidth. This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc.) to show on any connected displays. This matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal transmits through long HDMI cables without losing quality.

Onboard audio delay, so integrators can manage lip-sync issues before they become a problem. Video signal management is also possible with built-in scalers. So, if the installation has a couple of older displays, integrators don't need to forfeit 4K signals to pass the signal to all of the displays. In addition to scalers, this matrix supports complete EDID management, allowing maximum flexibility with today's broad mixture of sources and displays.

AVPRO Edge User Interface
Managing HDMI signals can be challenging, from interoperability between sources and displays, changes in signal type coming from different types of content, to Hollywood protection with HDCP; each one of these things can cause havoc on the installation. With AVPro Edge's User Interface, we put the power back in the hands of the installers. Integrators can create their custom EDID strings to perfect the signal coming from the source or scale an image to work with a legacy display, all from an easily accessible and navigatable interface.
HDBaseT Compatibility Mode (HDBT-C)
Convert high-bandwidth signals between 9-18 Gb/s to be used with HDBaseT transmitters. The conversion uses a proprietary algorithm that impacts the original image a little as possible, so integrators can transmit HDR and high-bandwidth signals over long-distance transmission devices like HDBaseT extenders or for use on a display that does not support 18 Gb/s. Best of all, integrators manage this setting on a per output basis, so they have complete control over which individual runs are down-clocked.
4K Down Scaling
This technology is managed on each output. Scaling will allow integrators to downscale 4K sources on outputs going to displays that may not support 4K. Additionally, this matrix switcher can scale chroma subsampling from 4:4:4 down to 4:2:0, ensuring compatibility with legacy devices. Other matrix switchers force a signal to work by "dumbing down" the entire system even if there is only one old 1080p display.
Extreme EDID Management
With 29 onboard EDID's, including HDR EDID's, not getting a picture is simply a thing of the past. Integrators can manage the input side of the switch by selecting a preloaded EDID. We also can instantly read an EDID from any connected display and apply it to the desired input, all with the push of a button.
Dual Audio De-Embedding
  • The user can extract 2 Channel PCM audio from each output. NOTE: the Analog Port only supports 2CH PCM for down-mixing, check out AC-AVDM-AUHD or our AXION line of matrix switchers.
  • It features four digital optical TOSLINK outputs with support for 7CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, DTS Master Audio.
  • Extracted audio routing options include
  • Bind to output (extracted audio swaps 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 is routed however integrators like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix)
Audio Delay
With the AC-MX-88, integrators can manage audio delay per output on the balanced or digital outputs. Delay audio up to 630ms, so lip-sync problems vanish. Audio delay can be controlled directly from the front panel for ease of use and a simple setup with the push of a button.
Built-In Test Pattern
The unit features an internal test pattern generator that integrators can use to verify that the infrastructure after the matrix is intact. Displaying a test pattern on each output can save hours of painful troubleshooting and allow integrators to identify issues before becoming problems.
