AVPro Edge AC-MX82-AUHD-RM 8x2 4K60 18Gbps Rack Matrix and Auto Switch/AVR Bypass

AC-MX82-AUHD-RM - is a rack mountable version of the AC-MX82-AUHD Maxtrix Switcher

The AC-MX82-AUHD is a 8x2 HDMI matrix switcher, perfect for any home theater. Supporting HDMI 2.0 (a/b), HDCP 2.2, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18 Gbps bandwidth. This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc... ) to be shown on any of the connected displays. This matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal can be transmitted through long HDMI cables without loss of quality.

The AC-MX82-AUHD is ideal for bypassing AVR's that do not support full 18Gbps.   You can bypass uncompressed HDMI to the display while running down-scaled video into a legacy AVR.   Only video is reduced and audio remains untouched,   making it an ideal component for systems where high bit-rate audio is critical.

Key Benefits of using the AC-MX82-AUHD-RM

Ideal for overcoming AVR problems - In today's fast moving, high-bandwidth, video market there is often a need to send high bitrate, bit stream audio into AVR's to take advantage of audio advances like Dolby Atmos or DTS-X.

  The problem is the AVR's, while especially well suited for audio, lack the robust ability to manage high-bandwidth HDR video. This simple switch will allow you bypass full, un-scaled, uncompressed video on to displays or projectors and simultaneously down-scale one output to lower bandwidth video while maintaining the original untouched audio codecs, making it ideal for sending this second HDMI signal into an AVR.
