1.0 Introduction
The SC04.MX88 matrix switches 8 x HDMI inputs to 8 x HDMI outputs in a true matrix environment, any input to
any output simultainiously and supports 18Gbps bandwidth with resolutions up to 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, HDR10+ and
Dolby Vision™. Each output has the facility to down scale the video resolution from 4K to 1080P.
The matrix supports LPCM 7.1, Dolby True HD™, DTS-HD Master Audio and extracts digital and analogue audio
from the HDMI outputs. Additionally the ARC (audio return channel) ensures synced audio with the display on the
digital audio output.
It’s advanced EDID features provide auto detection, copy and built in standard settings ensuring compatibility with
all source and sink devices.
The matrix is controlled with switches located on the front panel, IR remote control, RS232 and TCP/IP web GUI.
