The AVPro Edge 4x2 matrix switcher (AC-MX42-AUHD) is the ideal single room switch. A true 4x2 HDMI matrix switch, the 4x2 supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.2, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18Gbps bandwidth. This sleek switch is the perfect single-room solution. It’s no secret that TVs have one optimized HDMI input port. The 4x2 allows integrators to use the best port for all of their clients’ content to the display.

One of AVPro’s most popular switches, this switch features 18Gbps bandwidth support, full HDR support, EDID Management plus a 4K --> 1080P downscaler on output 1 for legacy displays. The 4x2 is also ideal for bypassing AVR’s that do not support full 18Gbps. Bypass uncompressed HDMI to the display while running down-scaled video into a legacy AVR. Only video is reduced, and audio remains untouched, making it an ideal component for systems where high bit rate audio is critical.

The latest extender from AVPro Edge features scaling capabilities from 480p to 4K.
 
Sioux Falls, S.D. - AVPro Edge, an AVPro Global Holdings company, is excited to announce a new product, the AC-EX70-SC2-R. This scaling HDBaseT receiver allows integrators to distribute audio/video signals 70 meters over standard category cable and scale the signal's resolution from 480p to 4K and interlaced to progressive.  
 
AVPro Edge's AC-EX70-SC2-R is the ideal solution for integrators who need to distribute signals long distances to a variety of displays yet keep an optimal picture. This product has the versatility of not only controlling up/down scaling but handling EDID issues and being able to access audio from the stream. Ideal for mixed systems, this HDBaseT receiver/scaler is capable of 18Gbps 4K HDR signaling using AVPro’s proprietary technology, ICT. Yet, if an installation has 480, 720, or 1080 displays, the AC-EX70-SC2-R can get the correct resolutions and picture type to them. This product comes with AVPro Edge’s ten year no-nonsense advanced replacement warranty and works alongside any of AVPro Edge’s HDBaseT matrix switchers.
 
Matt Murray, CTO of AVPro Global, stated, “The advanced scaling and handshake holding of this HDBaseT receiver makes the current line of HDBaseT Matrices appeal to more customers by allowing adaptive technology that matches the downstream device preferred video input and holding that resolution, no matter the incoming video sources. This eliminates “re-syncing” and makes video switching seamless and almost instant. It is ideal for intensive commercial applications, and HDR scaling support means it is perfect for a large residential deployment as well.”

What do you like about working at AVPro?
AVPro is a family driven company that takes care of you like family. They reward you well and strive to be the best on every level of taking care of a customer. It is a wonderful work environment that is safe and fun. Our technical team is growing and always finding new ways to gain knowledge and experience. With a strong focus on training and learning, I get to travel several times a year to trainings and shows which keeps my drive to learn and grow very high. Oh, and our owners are the best in the world!
 
From your point of view, how is AVPro different from other electronic manufactures?
AVPro is not a cookie cutter company. We are taking the experience of several long-time business professionals in several different spaces and using our past strengths and weaknesses to grow as ever changing and unique business. No idea is a bad idea and the path less traveled is always the best one. With actual engineering only a call away, we are able to solve problems and address industry voids fast and accurately. The internal teamwork is top notch and a joy to be part of. If you say that the secret to a great meal is loving to cook, then we have the secret ingredient here at AVPro. I am surrounded by people that love their job. With so many things in the world being uncertain it is refreshing to know that I will put my all into AVPro today and tomorrow and forever.
 
What has been your best “moment” since working with AVPro?
For one of my first shows I was able to sit down for a dinner with some of our engineers. Between eating gator tail bites and talking AV with the real pros that really care and love this business. In one night, I fell in love with AV and have never looked back.
 
You head up your team based in South Dakota?
Our technical team is growing and striving to learn more all the time so we can be a better resource for our dealers. My responsibility is the customer support side of it and that is where I shine. When I was younger, I started busing tables at the VFW. It was amazing because several generations of people came to converse and loved chatting with the help. I worked hard and was rewarded for it, I also worked for my first great boss of many to come. Customer service was my first job and has been the main part of every job I have had since. In my previous career as a barber I went from working in a salon to managing one to owning my own. There are so many things that have positively shaped me in my professional life that have all led me to this.

​How AVProEdge can Extend your USB Signals Alongside High Bandwidth A/V
 
KVM/HDMI extenders are products designed to increase the distance between a computer and its keyboard, monitor, mouse, and speakers. USB keyboard and mouse signals can travel about 5 meters under normal circumstances. High bandwidth video can be even shorter if not using the proper cabling. KVM extenders are a convenient solution to send these particular signals long distances over standard category cable. The primary purpose of KVM extenders is to provide point-to-point computer extension, limiting access to computers from remote locations.
 
Main Benefits for using KVM Extension from AVPro Edge:

• Remote PC access: enable remote high-speed KVM alongside 18Gbps HDR video signals
• Supports all signals from the latest laptops like the MacBook Pro and ThinkPads
• Cleans up the workplace, leaving your customers with an ultra-clean finish
• Secure computers in safeguarded locations: protect them from damage, technical failures or major power outages
• Data access security: prevent content theft or network access by limiting hardware access
  

​ KVM/HDMI extenders provide HDMI and USB signal extension over long distances without compromising video quality. The AVPro Edge 444 extenders offer low latency or even real-time transmission without delays and compression artifacts that degrade the high-resolution viewing experience. These are the ideal solution for applications such as broadcast, high-end medical imaging, interactive digital signage, call centers, data centers, and even home theaters.
