INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM07U3-S1 8x8 HDMI Deep Color & full 3D over single Cat.X matrix 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 four 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 four HDMI
sources using the push-in 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!

●HDCP compliant
●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 to any HDMI inputs by push-in button, IR
remote control, RS-232 control, and Ethernet control
