40Gbps 8K 4x2 HDMI Matrix Switcher

The AC-MX-42X is a four-input, dual-output HDMI matrix switcher. It supports HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, and up to 8K video resolution with 40Gbps bandwidth capacity. This matrix switcher is perfect for working with the latest gaming consoles, streaming devices, and satellite receivers, connecting them to 8K TVs and projectors. In addition, this matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure HDMI signals will transmit through long HDMI cables without losing quality. Our best developers have been hard at work bringing our integrators an easy-to-use web-based user interface that allows them to set up, troubleshoot, and control this 8K 4x2. The AVPro Edge User Interface (AEUI) allows for easy configuration and setup. This 8K matrix switcher also comes with a screen on the unit that can tell you the IP address for connecting directly to your control system. From built-in scaling to complete EDID control and configuring, you can customize every aspect of this device to work perfectly for your system.    NOTE TO DESIGNERS, INSTALLERS, AND TECHNICIANS When used with an AVR or a Pre-processor as an HDMI video bypass around outdated onboard AVR or Pre-processor HDMI video signal technology, especially when introducing a Next-Gen video display into a system while retaining an existing AVR or Pre-processor that remains compatible with current immersive audio codec reproduction, the following must be noted: When the main HDMI video display output of the bypassed AVR or Pre-processor is left untethered to an EDID-producing device, the AVR or Pre-processor has no means for EDID negotiation or authentication. As a result, source devices fail to detect an active EDID-managed HDMI path. An AVR or Pre-processor may not fully activate or switch to the desired input for audio capture if no active output is detected or fails to enable proper input signal processing. BEST PRACTICE is for the AVR or Pre-processor to terminate into a device that produces an active EDID, which serves to “trick” the AVR or Pre-processor into continuing to function as designed (with a video signal and multi-channel audio selected at one of its inputs, expected to transfer the video signal to a display device with EDID authentication). An AVPro Edge AC-SC-1X or AC-DA12-AUHD-GEN2 with EDID management is ideal for overcoming this anomaly as both have EDID management capabilities; however, any device capable of producing an EDID compatible with maintaining the AVR’s or Pre-processor’s stability may be utilized.
