2.1 Introduction

The AVSW-HDMI8X8-X is a high-performance 8 x 8 matrix routing switch with (8) HDMI plus DVI-audio inputs. It supports (8) HDMI with SPDIF audio outputs and (8) HDBaseT outputs simultaneously. The AVSW-HDMI8X8-X is based on HDBaseT technology and supports full-resolution HDMI video with embedded audio, RS-232, and IR bi-directional signals, all over a single CATx cable.

With a signal bandwidth of 340 MHz, there is no signal degradation. HIgh-definition digital signals can be selected and distributed to any 16 outputs simultaneously (8 channels x 2). The switch complies with CEC and HDMP 2.0 standards, HDMI V1.4a 3D formats, and data rates up to 6.75 Gbps. It also supports UXGA/WUXGA/DVI 1920 x 1200 resolution to any HD displays.

The AVSW-HDM8X8-X has one CAT6/6A and HDMI connector for each output, effectively making this an 8 x 16 switch (same signal on both outputs). One RJ-45 connection on each output extends the HDMI signal to remote locations via HDBaseT CATx cable extended to the HDBaseT Receiver (AVSW-HDMI-RX).

You can select the EDID from eight different modes. Control the switch via front-panel push buttons, IR remote, or via RS-232 or TCP/IP (not a Web browser).
