Extron SMX 88 HDMI

HDMI Matrix Switcher Boards The SMX HDMI Series Matrix Switcher Boards are designed for routing HDMI video signals with HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. They support computer video to 1920x1200 and HDTV to 1080p as well as embedded audio and control signals, and enable the routing of content from Blu-ray Disc players and other content-protected sources to one or more displays. SMX HDMI matrix boards provide +5 VDC, 250 mA of power on each output for external peripheral devices. They are available in four I/O sizes: 4x4, 4x8, 8x4, and 8x8.

- 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
