Extron has announced the immediate availability of the DXP HD 4K Plus Series of HDMI matrix switchers that support signals up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling.
They support HDMI 2.0b specifications, including data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats.
These HDCP 2.2 compliant matrix switchers incorporate Extron technologies such as SpeedSwitch, EDID Minder, and Key Minder as well as HDMI input equalisation and output regeneration to ensure reliable system operation.
Digital audio can be de-embedded from any input and assigned to digital or analog stereo outputs for ease of integration.
Available in 4x4, 8x4, and 8x8 sizes, the DXP HD 4K Plus Series is suitable for applications that require matrix switching of 4K/60 HDMI signals. The DXP HD 4K Plus Series matrix switchers are designed for use with computers equipped with 4K graphics cards, 4K media players, and other similar signal sources, as well as 4K native resolution displays.
With a maximum data rate of 18 Gbps, they support computer and video resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz with 8-bit colour in 4:4:4 colour space.
To maintain signal integrity, they feature automatic cable equalisation on inputs and output reclocking to reshape and restore timing of the video signal at each HDMI output.
