WHY IT’S WORTH PUSHING FOR VIDEO DISTRIBUTION IN YOUR NEXT INSTALLATION
- Published , by Tom Devine
When you get the opportunity to offer a video distribution system to a client, it's a big deal! Video can be daunting to many consumers when every TV has smart functions. So how does an integrator sell the idea that a matrix switcher is worth the investment? Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X, and HDR are the reasons. Delivering unmatched image and audio quality throughout a whole home run with a professional control system is the recipe for continued installs with good word of mouth.
When a customer can watch a 4K film at 60 frames per second in their home theater with over 30 channels of object-based audio, then run to the kitchen to grab snacks and see/hear the same source played through in-wall speakers and kitchen TV, it delivers an experience beyond their expectations. You can provide this set-up with the new AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT-AVDM matrix switcher from AVPro Edge.
AVPro Edge has rounded out its HDBaseT/HDMI down-mixing matrix line-up with this 4x4 version! Like its 16x16 and 8x8 big brothers, this matrix is a high bandwidth audio/video matrix switcher with the ability to down-mix bitstream audio beyond 7.1 channel into a 2 channel audio signal via all 4 inputs, including Dolby Atmos and DTS-X.
This AC-MX44-AUHD-HDBT-AVDM matrix switcher allows the user to deliver 24+ channels to a Dolby Atmos home theater while simultaneously delivering 2 channel to the rest of the zones. This is possible by enabling the down-mixing only to affect the de-embedded audio outputs. The HDBaseT and HDMI ports leave the audio unimpeded, allowing users to distribute full Dolby Atmos and DTS HD through them.
