The KanexPro HDMMX88A-4K is an eight input by eight output modular matrix switcher chassis with two input slots and two output slots; each modular input or output card supports up to four device connections. As an add-on to front panel control, the HDMMX88A-4K can be controlled via IR, RS232, or TCP/IP connections.
The optional modular input and output cards include the following connections: HDMI, DVI, VGA, HDBaseT (with RS232 and bi-directional wide-band IR), Fiber Optic and analog video with digital scaling via HD15 (VGA-UXGA, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video and composite video). The modular output cards include the following connections: HDMI, SDI,DVI, VGA, HDBaseT and Fiber Optic.
Stereo audio embedding is supported on the HDMI input cards to allow analog audio to be inserted into the digital signal. Stereo audio can also be de-embedded using the HDMI or HDBaseT output cards. Advanced EDID management restricts sources to output only stereo audio, while emulating the native video data from the attached displays. This system allows analog audio to be switched with the paired digital video, eliminating the requirement for an additional audio matrix switcher.
Clear button caps provide readable text on the front panel, which can be customized for each installation. Control via IR, RS232, and TCP/IP provide a wide range of options for third party control systems. Ten programmable presets provide an efficient means of configuring the video and audio distribution for common usage patterns.
