Description
The SmartAVI HDR-8X8-XT V2 is a high-performance 4K Ultra HD 8x8 HDMI matrix switch designed for professional AV environments that demand flexible routing, long-distance signal distribution, and centralized control. This enterprise-grade solution allows you to distribute eight HDMI sources simultaneously to eight local displays and up to eight remote displays over CAT5e/6, making it ideal for large-scale installations such as command centers, auditoriums, broadcast facilities, and digital signage networks.
Engineered for reliability and scalability, the HDR-8X8-XT V2 supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation by powering compatible receivers directly through CAT cabling. With support for resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, HDMI compliance, and advanced EDID management, it ensures consistent, high-quality video performance across all connected endpoints.
Flexible control options including front panel switching, IR, RS-232, and TCP/IP web-based management provide seamless operation and remote accessibility. Additionally, built-in Ethernet routing enables connected displays to access network connectivity through the same infrastructure, enhancing efficiency and reducing deployment costs.
Whether you are managing multiple video feeds in a control room or delivering immersive content across a venue, the HDR-8X8-XT V2 delivers dependable performance, extended reach, and total control.
