AXION 8 18Gbps 8x8 Matrix Switcher

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 mix system with a combination of 4K and 1080p displays? No problem with this unit. The AC-AXION-8 has built in down scalers throughout each HDBaseT output. You are able to downscale 4K to 1080p and lock that per output. This will ensure you never send a 4K signal to a display that isn’t able to process the picture.
 
Audio Downmixing - No need to set your source to 2 Channel, no matter what kind of audio this matrix switcher receives it can convert it to 2 channel. This allows you to deliver Dolby Atmos sound to a home theater and 2 channel audio to a bedroom at the same time.

Dual Audio De-Embedding - Our unique Audio De-Embedding allows:

• The user can extract 2 Channel PCM audio from each output. NOTE: the Analog Port only supports 2CH PCM
• It features eight digital optical Toslink outputs with support for 7CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, DTS Master Audio.
• Extracted audio routing options include
  • Bind to output (extracted audio swaps 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 is routed however integrators like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix)

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.
