INTRODUCTION
The MA-5288V2 8x8 HDBaseT Lite matrix with PoC provides the most flexible and cost effective
solution in the market to route high definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel) digital
audio from any of the eight HDMI sources to the remote displays at the same time. Through only one low
cost Cat-5/5e/6 LAN cables, not only high quality video and audio can be transmitted to the display sites,
but also users can switch among eight HDMI sources using the push button or remote control.
Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function makes users at display site access the DVD player, PS3 or
any HDMI supported devices directly! In addition, MA-5288V2 also supports PoC (Power over Cable)
which can power both units from TX with power supply.
FEATURES
●Support HDMI Deep Color & full 3D (HDBaseT Technology)
●Extend the transmission up to 60m (198ft) from the HDMI source at Full HD 1080p 48-bit
●Support PoC(Power over Cable) which can power both units from TX side with power supply
●HDCP compliant
●Bi-directional IR pass-though
●Allows controlling local HDMI sources or display through control path
●Allows to control main matrix center through control line at remote receiver
●Pure unaltered uncompressed 7.1ch digital HDMI over Cat.5/5e/6 cable transmission
●Allows any source to be displayed on multiple displays at the same time
●Allows any HDMI display to view any HDMI source at any time
●Supports 7.1 channel digital audio
●Supports default HDMI EDID and learns the EDID of displays
●The matrix master can switch every output channels from any HDMI inputs by Push button, IR remote
control, RS-232 and IP control, web-interface control
●Easy installation with rack-mounting
●Fast response time – 2~4 seconds for channel switch
