The AVPro Edge AC-AXION-8 8 x HDMI Input & 8 x HDBaseT/HDMI Output Matrix Switcher with Dolby & DTS Downmixing is a high-bandwidth audio/video matrix switcher with the ability to downmix bitstream audio beyond 7.1 channel into a 2 channel audio signal via all 8 inputs, that includes Dolby Atmos and DTS-X.

In a multi-zoned distribution system every zone is not set to handle full Dolby Atmos sound. Most zones are going to need 2 channel audio. This AC-AXION-8 Matrix Switcher allows you to deliver 24+ channels to your Dolby Atmos home theater, and at the same time, it delivers 2 channels to the rest of the zones. This is accomplished by allowing the downmixing to only affect the de-embedded audio outputs, the HDBaseT and HDMI ports leave the audio unimpeded, allowing you to distribute full Dolby Atmos and DTS HD through them.
