    The SmartMatriX² is fully HDCP compliant, meaning that you will be able to use the SmartMatriX² to accept HDCP protected sources and route them to any HDCP protected outputs. As Analog Way is a licensed HDCP adoptor, this also means that the SmartMatriX² is prevented from displaying any HDCP protected images on any non-HDCP compliant outputs (as is the case for all licensed HDCP compliant devices).

The SmartMatriX²-H (Ref. SMX250-H) is fully compliant with the HDBaseT Specifications. Equipped with HDBaseT receivers and transmitters, the SmartMatriX²-H is able to input video, embedded audio, Ethernet pass-through and manage a Power over Ethernet feed (30W) and to output video, embedded audio, Ethernet, plus a bidirectional Serial connection and a IR connection.
  • Page 80 10.2 HDBaseT™ 5. Thou shalt keep your cables away from power sources Cables should be kept at a distance of at least 12 inches from power cables. In an environment prone to high EMI, it is best to use shielded cables. Most Cat5e cables are unshielded, which makes them more flexible, durable and inexpensive.
