How to Choose Your Next 4K Matrix Switcher

The matrix switcher is the backbone of every stable video distribution system being installed today. Give your customer the picture quality they want throughout every zone in the installation while delivering beautiful HDR colors to 4K displays. Switch every zone independently by working alongside the biggest control companies in pro AV like Josh.ai, Control 4, Crestron, and more.

When you select an AVPro Edge Matrix Switch you are choosing a product that has been field tested. AVPro Edge comes from a background in HDMI testing and troubleshooting, allowing us to develop video distribution technology fast. We launched the very first 18Gbps 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher years ago. So, while many companies are now coming out with similar products, they do not have the experience in high bandwidth video distribution like AVPro does.

So, we know we need a 4K Matrix Switcher, but how do we pick the right one? 

Each installation in Pro Audio Video is going to be different, so preparation is crucial to a successful job. You need to determine how many sources and independent video zones you need, what types of signals you will be passing, and how far away will the signal be going. After you have a clear idea of the job you can start to determine the Matrix Switcher for your set up.
