INTRODUCTION
Grandbeing’s MX0808-310 is an 8-by-8 DVI/HDMI true matrix. It allows any of the
eight source (Blue-Ray player, HD DVD player, satellite receiver, game system,
etc.) to be routed to any of the eight displays simultaneously, no matter the
source is HDCP or not. Users can choose several different ways to control the
matrix: by using infrared extension receiver, RS232 ,RS485, LAN and supplied
remote control. IR emitters in the matrix are for controlling the sources , the IR
control signal could be from remote locations via STP/UTP type HDMI
connection on the rear panel.
MX0808-310 has the ability of equalization and amplification to ensure HDMI
signal's transmission through long cable without quality loss. The transmission
distance of STP/UTP outputs reaches up to 30 meters under the vedio format of
1080P, together with infrared control signal.
MX0808-310 offers solutions for digital entertainment center, HDTV retail and
show site, HDTV, STB, DVD and projector factory, noise, space and security
concerns, data center control, information distribution, conference room
presentation, school and corporate training environments.
