Frame Detector and Signal Analysis
The exact video and audio signal format can be determined
such as timing, frequencies, scan mode, HDCP encryption,
color range, color space and audio sample rate.
Graphic Display and Rotary Jog Dial Control Knob
Easy setting and menu navigation are assured by the color
graphic display and the comfortable jog dial control.
HDMI 2.0 to 2x HDMI 1.4 Splitting
The device supports vertical splitting of an HDMI2.0
4k@60Hz 4:4:4 input signal to left and right halves allowing
for the transmission of an 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal over
two HDMI1.4 compliant links. The two halves can then be
recombined at the signal destination.
Unique Front-to-Back Cooling Airflow Design
MX2-8x8-HDMI20-Audio includes a groundbreaking
new cooling design with front-to-back airflow. Inside the
chassis, the airflow travels along guiding panes assuring
that the most warm areas receive ample amount of
cooling air volume.
Front Panel Control
Every source and destination have their own button on the
front panel. Single switches can be executed or crosspoint
presets can be saved and reloaded. The most important
settings can be configured through the front panel LCD
menu.
Ethernet Contro
l
Multiple simultaneous TCP/IP connections are available
with a simple ASCII-based protocol for controlling,
configuring the matrix router or perform a firmware
upgrade.
Non-Volatile Memory
The matrix router starts with its latest configuration settings
when powered on or after a power failure. Every setting is
stored in a non-volatile memory.
