1. Product Introduction
The MMX1616 is a high-performance video and audio modular matrix switcher
supporting max 16 input signal sources and 16 output display synchronously. It
supports different video signals with cross switching. Every video or audio signal is
transmitted and switched independently to decrease signal attenuation. The matrix
supports various changeable cards including HMDI, DVI, VGA, SDI and HDBaseT etc.
Users can choose to insert different signal card for different application.
The matrix boasts power off memory and audio signal can be switched separately or
jointly with video signal. It has 1 RS232 port and 1 optional TCP/IP port for convenient
control from third-party.
With its flexible design, the matrix can be used for different project and tend to be an
all-in-one solution. It is the combo solution for multimedia conference rooms, control
rooms, broadcasting rooms, shopping center etc. It will handle all the audiovisual
management, including the switching, driving, scaling etc.
