Binary™ HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switch with HDMI and Single Cat5e/6 OutputsFor larger installs the B-300-HDMATRIX-8X8 uses a single Cat5e/6 output to reliably transmit HDMI signals and bi-directional IR from eight sources to eight displays – up to 130 feet, with full 1080p video and support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio. Whew! If you think that was a mouthful, check out the Ethernet, RS-232 control and Binary-exclusive EDID setup software. This is the stuff installers dream about!
Important Notice: To reduce video dropout problems from ceiling fans and other EMI issues, it is strongly recommended that you pull shielded CAT5e/CAT6 and use shielded RJ45 connectors with this extender product. “EZ end” connectors are not recommended for use with HDMI extenders.
Simultaneous HDMI & 1-CAT OutputsEach output provides an HDMI output for local display(s), as well as a 1-CAT output for longer distances. Just pair the 1-CAT with the
optional receiver to achieve distances up to 130 feet. Best of all, both of these outputs can be used in parallel! A great example of this is for use with a preview monitor - connect the projector via the 1-CAT and the preview monitor via HDMI.
Integration Ready w/Ethernet RS-232 and IR
To control the matrix itself, IR and bi-directional RS-232 are available. Using a more sophisticated controller? No problem – there’s an Ethernet port with Telnet support too. But the goodies don't stop there – when using the optional B-300-HDMATRIX-RCVR, the same CAT5e/6 cable that sends HDMI signals can also carry bi-directional IR to and from the room for sophisticated control system applications. For guaranteed performance, use Episode IR Products . Check out the support tab for pre-written drivers for your system!
HDMI® 3D CompliantIf you love acronyms, this 8X8 has you covered with full support of the HDMI® 1.4 3D specification, Deep Color (36bit) and HDCP 2.0 as well as support for Dolby® True HD, Dolby® Digital Plus, DTS™-HD Master and LPCM audio formats.
EDID Management With the incredible variety of sources and displays available, getting them all synced up can sometimes be a challenge - especially when you have to deal with confusing DIP switches. To simplify this process, the B-300-HDMATRIX EDID settings can be configured using the included remote control or convenient PC configuration utility. Three EDID modes are provided for ultimate flexibility - Auto, Embedded and Learning.
Software ToolkitThe included PC Configuration utility let's you easily manage EDID settings, test Inputs and outputs, update firmware and more.
HDCP 2.0 Key ManagementMany recently released HDMI source devices only offer one HDCP key, meaning that standard HDMI switchers may only be able to pass video to a single display. This true 8X8 matrix offers full HDCP 2.0 key management - an automatic process that ensures no HDCP-compliant TV will be left in the dark, even if the source only has a single key!
Fast Switching, No BlinkingFast switching (<3 seconds) ensures that you don't miss any of the action while waiting around for the video to sync! Plus, once a display is locked onto a source, there is no "blinking" of that display while other displays change sources.
Engineered by SnapAVUnder the hood of this 8X8 is an engineer’s paradise! These surface-mount, high speed circuits (up to 6.75 Gbps) are built on a multi-layer board to give you reliable HDMI switching that supports current and future 3D technologies. "Engineered by SnapAV" – it’s not just a saying, it’s what we do.
Static Electricity ProtectionIntelligent circuit design perfected with feedback from extensive hardware qualification testing has resulted in a very robust product with excellent ESD and Surge protection. Think of this as great insurance for a long product life!
Built for Installers
A versatile 1U rack design allows you to position the matrix in the front of the rack - or reverse mounted in the back for easy access to connections. The in-line power supply features a screw lock to secure it to the unit. No more worries about service calls just because the power came unplugged when dusting around the equipment (like THAT ever happens).
