2 Product outline
FDX-32 has 32 inputs and 32 outputs. Since this HDMI/DVI Digital Matrix Switcher supports HDCP, video
whose copyright is protected, such as Blu-ray, can be input. HDMI signals can also be input via a conversion
cable.
Combining HDBaseT or optical I/O slot board that supports a long-distance extension enables simple
configurations around the matrix switcher.
Combining built-in scan converter output slot board, the FDX can seamless switching with one black frame
between different resolution or synchronization video signals, and output to sink devices. The switching seed
is faster than if system has digital frame synchronizer after matrix switcher.
The FDX has RS-232C and LAN as its communication ports for external control so that you can control each
setting remotely.
