MMX8x8-HT440 is a  standalone matrix switcher  specifically designed for conference room environments. It has  four HDMI and four TPS2 (HDBaseT ^TM ) inputs  with  four HDMI outputs and four TPS2 outputs .  4K / UHD (30Hz RGB 4:4:4, 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0), 3D capabilities and HDCP  are fully supported.

Highlighted features

• Extends DVI or HDMI 1.4 + Ethernet + RS-232 + IR over one CAT5/6/7 cable
• Built-in PoE injector* for remote powering extenders
• Balanced analog audio output for audio de-embedding
• Command injection on RS-232 and IR portsBuilt-in Event Manager control automation feature

The device also has  eight balanced 5-pole Phoenix audio connectors  at four of the TPS2 and HDMI  inputs , four of the TPS2 and HDMI  outputs .

The  audio signal direction of the port can be changed  with the Lightware Device Controller software, so these audio ports can be either input or output ports.

PoE 48V remote powering  is available on every I/O TPS ports for cost-effective installations.

MMX8x8-HT440 receives and transmits digital video, audio and control to a distance of up to  170m over a single CAT6 cable . Using factory, custom or transparent EDID emulation the user can fix and lock EDID data on each input connector.  Advanced EDID Management  forces the required resolution from any video source and fixes the output format to conform to the system requirements. The unit can be controlled via RS-232, Ethernet or USB ports, but it also offers  Ethernet, RS-232, Serial and IR command injection  capabilities, allowing to send any control command directly from the LAN connection to remote end points.

The built-in Event Manager feature provides  control via RS-232, IR, Ethernet, Relay and GPIO  ports. The MMX8x8-HT440 is compatible with both HDBaseT ^TM  extenders and HDBaseT ^TM  compliant displays.
