Digital signal technologies are now very much a part of commercial A/V system designs. Integrators working with digital signals face three primary challenges – maintaining signal integrity throughout the system, ensuring compatibility between devices, and working with content protection schemes such as HDCP. The new HDMI and DVI Pro matrix boards for the Extron SMX System MultiMatrix are engineered with the intelligent technologies you need to succeed and thrive in the digital era.
HDCP Status Reporting and Compliance Checking actively reads and reports HDCP status for all connected sources. Non-compliant displays are sent a green signal, providing visual indication that the signal path is intact and protected content cannot be displayed.
EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between the display and input source, ensuring that digital sources power up properly and maintain their video output.
Input equalization compensates for weak source signals or signal loss due to long or poor quality cables. SMX DVI Pro and HDMI matrix boards can equalize cables up to 50 feet at 1920x1200 and 1080p @ 60 Hz.
Output reclocking restores signal amplitude, timing, and clock rate, resulting in a signal that’s equal to or better than the original.
