About the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Matrix Switchers
The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series are high performance HDMI matrix switchers for computer and video resolutions up
to 4K @ 60 Hz. They support HDMI 2.0b specifications, including data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR Deep Color up
to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. These switchers are HDCP 2.3 compliant and incorporate Extron
technologies including SpeedSwitch, EDID Minder, and Key Minder. HDMI input equalization and output
regeneration ensure reliable system operation. Digital audio can be de-embedded from any input and assigned to
digital or analog stereo outputs. The following models are available in fixed matrix sizes:
•
DXP 42 HD 4K PLUS — 4 inputs by 2 outputs with 2 audio outputs
•
DXP 44 HD 4K PLUS — 4 inputs by 4 outputs with 2 audio outputs
•
DXP 84 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 4 outputs with 2 audio outputs
•
DXP 88 HD 4K PLUS — 8 inputs by 8 outputs with 2 audio outputs
•
DXP 168 HD 4K PLUS — 16 inputs by 8 outputs with 4 audio outputs
•
DXP 1616 HD 4K PLUS — 16 inputs by 16 outputs with 4 audio outputs
The DXP HD 4K PLUS Series are designed for use with computers equipped with 4K graphics cards, media
players and similar signal sources, and 4K native resolution displays. With a maximum data rate of 18 Gbps, the
switchers support computer and video resolutions up to 4096x2160 @ 60 Hz with 8-bit color in 4:4:4 color space.
To maintain signal integrity, these switchers feature automatic cable equalization on inputs and output reclocking
to reshape and restore timing of the video signal at each HDMI output. These features combined with Extron Pro
Series High Speed HDMI Cables allow longer 4K signal runs, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning
equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss on long cable runs. Additionally, +5 VDC, 250
mA power is available on the outputs for peripheral devices.
