AVPro 40Gbps 8K 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher
The AVPro Edge engineers focused on reimagining the venerable AC-MX-88, boosting bandwidth to an ultrawide 40Gbps with 8K input and output stages, for a world-first, Next-Gen 8-input and 8-output matrix switching platform. Gaming enthusiasts, rejoice – there's multiple inputs for multiple consoles! Select Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, or your Alienware Aurora Ryzen by control system or from the supplied IR remote, and leave the cable-juggling to Cirque du Soleil. 

     This matrix switcher is designed with the needs of Next-Gen users in mind, so you can prepare your clients for tomorrow’s over-the-near-horizon signals, while ultrawide bandwidth brings dynamic headroom for hiccup-free performance with HDMI 2.1a devices.
Full HDR Support
As Hollywood becomes more adept at using HDR to augment storytelling, dynamic metadata in HDR content is pushing the color boundaries for compatible displays. AVPro Edge 8K devices repeat and passthrough HDR content retaining 100% of the fidelity in the signal. HDR, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced are no challenge for AVPro Edge image-handling circuitry, delivering full-color volume and accurate tone-mapping metadata to connected displays.
Stable HDMI Signal Transport
Output equalization and amplification precisely regulates feed forward equalization and finite impulse response, critical for accurate HDMI data transfer over long cable distances, preserving signal integrity, image fidelity, and audio quality.
Downscaling
8K to 4K plus 8K & 4K to 1080p downscaling is available at all eight outputs, assuring compatibility with mixed-HDMI version systems. Many matrix switcher brands award the lowest resolution signal with top honors based on EDID detection, forcing  a “dumbing down” of the entire distribution system to that signal level. 
AVPro Edge User Interface
Managing HDMI 2.1a signals is challenging. With an integrator’s mindset, AVPro Edge software engineers designed the new GUI to place easy-to-navigate, logical and efficient configuration power into an installer’s hands.
Precision EDID Management
With the new AVPro Edge GUI, HDMI EDID signal management is no longer a frustrating challenge. The GUI accesses 29 selectable EDIDs onboard the AC-MX-88X, including those related to problem-free HDR configurations, plus offers a “read” feature that learns an EDID from any connected display which may be applied to any/all input/s.
​Built-In Test Pattern
The unit features an internal test pattern generator, in combination with trouble-shooting diagnostic features inside the GUI, to corroborate infrastructure upstream and downstream from the matrix is intact, aiding with wire verification, switcher configuration settings, or source viability. 
Dual Audio De-Embedding
Unique Audio De-Embedding features the following:
A user may extract 2 Channel PCM audio from each output. (NOTE: the Analog Port only supports 2-CH PCM)
Eight digital optical Toslink outputs supporting 7.1CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, and DTS Master Audio
Flexible Audio Adjustments
Integrators can individually tailor the sound for each extracted output with adjustments available for Volume level and left/right Balance, plus tame troublesome acoustic environments with a comprehensive, 10-band EQ. Audio delay provides lip-sync correction, varying from an off state to adjustment points starting at 90ms up through 630ms. 
Built-In Simple Video Switching Control
With Admin control, integrators can leave the user with limited access to GUI features, perfect for a scenario that may only require straightforward source switching – making access to setup, diagnostics commands, audio adjustments, or EDID management unnecessary. 
Additional HDMI 2.1a Features
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Quick Media Switching (QMS), Quick Frame Transport (QFT) Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) and Source Based Tone Mapping (SBTM) are supported by AC-MX-88X. Display Stream Compression 1.2, another feature in HDMI 2.1a is not supported, as AVPro Edge uses our proprietary Invisible Compression Technology (ICT) which provides for signal transport and processing with minimal, lossless compression and hyper-precise image fidelity.
