DESCRIPTION
The SMX DVI Pro Series Matrix Switcher Boards are designed for routing single link DVI-D video signals with HDCP – High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. These HDCP-compliant matrix boards support computer video to 1920x1200 and HDTV to 1080p, and enable the routing of content from Blu-ray Disc players and other content-protected sources to one or more displays. SMX DVI Pro matrix boards provide +5 VDC, 250 mA of power on each output for external peripheral devices. For installation convenience and flexibility in cable selection, the boards are equipped with DVI-I connectors for inputs and outputs. They are available in four I/O sizes: 4x4, 4x8, 8x4, and 8x8.
Features
* Available in 4x4, 4x8, 8x4, and 8x8 I/O sizes
* Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats
* Supports computer video up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60
* Automatic color bit depth management — The switcher automatically adjusts color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and display.
* Fully supports HDMI signals, including embedded audio, when used with optional Extron HDMI-DVI adapters
* HDCP compliant
* HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
SpeedSwitch® Technology provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content
* Key Minder® continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* Supports DDC transmission — DDC channels are actively buffered, allowing continuous communication between source and display.
* Automatic cable equalization for each input to 100 feet (30 meters) at 1920x1200/8-bit color when used with Extron DVI Pro cables
* Automatic output reclocking — Reshapes and restores timing of DVI signals at each output, enabling transmission over long DVI cables.
* Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on each output for external peripheral devices
* Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to separate an embedded audio signal from its corresponding video signal within the matrix switcher board, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be switched to different destinations.
Note: When installing this board in an existing SMX Frame, new SMX Frame firmware may be required; contact your Extron technical services representative for more informationey
