Description

The AC-MX1616-AUHD-HDBT is a 16 input/output Matrix switch built to handle all the latest sources outputting 4K 60 (4:4:4) HDR video signals. What truly makes this switch the choice of integrators around the world is the ability to distribute 18Gbps 4K to some some zones and 1080p to others. We are able to accomplish this with our built in 4K to 1080p downscalers on odd HDBT outputs. This feature is one of many designed to help integrators throughout the installation process.

Supporting the full HDMI 2.0 a/b specification and supporting every flavor of HDR, this matrix will ensure you can get the most out of any system. This 16x16 matrix switcher supports formats including HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, BBC and NHK. All of them are supported in up to 4K 60Hz and up to 12 Bit Deep Color. All color space compression is compatible.

This powerhouse matrix switcher is the ideal solution for a multizone setup that has 4K sources and up to 16 zones. Control’s a breeze as this switch comes with a web GUI you can access via the IP address, as well as drivers for all the top control systems. Combine that with the LED setup screen on the front, and you won’t have any problems getting this switch up and running. The AC-MX1616-AUHD-HDBT is the integrators choice for large multizone distribution systems.

Key benefits of using the AC-mx1616-auhd-hdbt

Invisible Compression - ICT is a technology we developed to ensure 18Gbps distribution over standard category cable. That means what you put in is what you see on the screen. No need to worry about compression artifacts and banding like you find with other compression methods.

Ultimate HDR Support - This matrix supports all flavors of HDR in all formats. Including HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, BBC and NHK. All of them are supported in up to 4K 60Hz and up to 12 Bit Deep Color. All color space compressions are compatible.

Extreme EDID Management - With 29 on board EDID's, including HDR EDID’s, not getting a picture is simply a thing of the past. You can manage the input side of the switch by selecting a preloaded EDID. It also has the ability to INSTANTLY read an EDID from any connected display and apply it to the desired input, all with the push of a button. Goodbye EDID problems...

Front Panel Screen - Make setup a breeze! The front panel allows you to do basic setup including; EDID, Audio, Matrixing and network. All without connecting a PC or hooking anything up. This additional mode of control is a welcome resource on the job site.

Web GUI - Full matrix control is available on the internal WebOS - Simply plug the matrix into the network and punch in the default IP (192.168.1.239) or use DHCP to connect to a full control system! The Web GUI is designed with mobile devices in mind, so feel free to use you phone or tablet for real-time control.

Resolution Down Scaling - Are you installing a mixed system with a combination of 4K and 1080p displays? Not a problem for this unit. The AC-MX1616-AUHD-HDBT has built in down scalers throughout each odd HDBaseT output. You are able to downscale 4K to 1080p on odd HDBT outputs. This will ensure you never send a 4K signal to a display that isn’t able to process the picture.

Audio De-Embedding - Our unique Audio De-Embedding allows 16 digital coax outputs(5-pin phoenix connector*/toslink) with support for 6CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, DTS. Extracted audio routing options include:

Bind to output (extracted audio switches with the video, this is the default mode)
Bind to input (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number)
Independent (extracted audio can be routed however you like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix)

*Supports 2 Channel Audio

Volume Control - The ability to manage the sound of an installation is essential. AVPro makes that process easier by allowing you to control the volume of each of the de-embedded audio outputs separately via control commands.

Application

What is a matrix switch?

Definition - Matrix switchers provide the ability to route any input to any output or to multiple outputs at any time. Depending on the model, a matrix switcher can route HD, UHD or AUHD content in this manner. Additionally, since most venues have audio zones and video zones the requirement to breakout or strip off the audio in often necessary and has become almost a standard feature on matrix switchers.
Control – Matrix switchers are generally controlled via 3rd party controller like Control 4, RTI, Crestron and others. Many integrators want ready made drivers for their control system to make programming and deployment easier.
Who uses them? - At the heart of almost every custom install is a matrix switch to ease routing and distribution of signals throughout the install including Audio, Video and Control – so, you have a product that can compete on price, performance, compatibility, and control.
Matrix Switchers are used widely in both Commercial and Residential Applications

*For maximum performance use our AC-EX70-444-RNE HDBaseT Receivers

This matrix is utilizing ICT on each of it's HDBaseT outputs, so in order to get the full bandwidth signal you need to use our AC-EX70-444-RNE's. This HDBaseT Rx is the ideal receiver, and was built and designed to work specifically with AVPro Edge's HDBaseT matrix switchers. This receiver includes RS-232 and IR control passthrough.
