Description

Featuring the MX-1616-HDBT-H2X 16x16 4K Matrix Switcher from WyreStorm

This powerhouse of a Matrix Switcher literally raises the bar for all other high-end commercial Matrix Switching devices. The MX-1616-HDBT-H2X is a 16x16 4K HDR video matrix switcher with an integrated 16x48 audio matrix that includes a powerful DSP and offers HDBaseT 5Play with WyreStorm’s QuickSync instant switching technology for uncompressed signal transmissions. This unit can provide amazing 4K60 4:2:0 high definition resolutions up to distances of 328' using Cat6a/7 cabling, with data rates up to 18Gbps, and HDCP 2.2 content encryption. Making this a perfect device for use in large, high-end commercial and residential applications that require multi-source video distribution of the latest 4K HDR content as well as multi-source audio matrix switching to multiple zones, such as hotels, business, government, large venues, and hospitals. 

Packed Full of Industry Leading Features:

With this unique matrix switcher WyreStorm has addressed a key factor in installations that use a mix of 2K and 4K with their SmartEDID feature that dynamically reacts to changes in source routing. This features will instantly change the routed sources input to the highest possible resolution that is compatible with all displays in the system, thereby removing any conflict when combining 1080p and 4K screens within the same installation. Additionally built-in to this unit is bi-directional 4K-2K scaling and frameless switching that is also supported by integrating the H2X with a WyreStorm RX-70-4K-SCL HDBaseT scaling receiver (not included). Using the matrix in conjunction with a scaling receiver is a great benefit for installations that are already containing high-end 2K projectors or displays that a client or users may not want to upgrade to 4K devices.

Audio Matrix Capabilities Taken to the Extreme:

Moving beyond the limits of standard 16x16 HDMI switching capabilities, Audio Matrix Switching is where this 16-way HDMI matrix switcher truly shines, this system has been seriously revamped to provide the ultimate flexibility in audio distribution. The integrated audio matrix offers three possible source inputs per zone that supports audio de-embed of HDMI video sources, ARC from zones up to 5.1, and adjustable line-level audio only sources via S/PDIF audio input. Making this device tailor-made for digital audio streaming on Sonos, Apple Airplay and DLNA devices. The result is support for a grand total of 48 individual audio inputs on the MX-1616-HDBT-H2X. 

Furthermore, the powerful audio DSP featured on all H2X transmission modules also allows adjustment of gain, EQ and delay per zone, source restriction per zone, and an AVR Priority Mode, which allows dynamic EDID adjustment depending on audio demand. And keeping everything in check on the H2X is internal diagnostics that continually monitor performance of the main board and transmission cards.
