EDID Management

The HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E provides comprehensive management of EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to ensure that every source is displayed at the optimal resolution and format. For applications requiring a custom configuration, the HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E enables assessment of the format and resolution capabilities of any device that is connected to an HDMI output of the switcher. The HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E provides the ability to configure signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.

HDMI Audio De-embedding

Embedded HDMI 2-channel LPCM audio can be extracted from the selected HDMI input and transmitted to either of the two AUX stereo audio outputs. Volume and mute control are configurable for each of the HDMI outputs and AUX audio outputs independently.

Device Control via CEC

Under the management of a control system, CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) over the HDMI connections can control the source and display devices, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters. CEC over the HDMI outputs can also enable the display devices to be turned on or off automatically without the use of a control system.

Enterprise-Grade Security

The HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E includes advanced security features and protocols. Using 802.1X authentication, Active Directory® credential management, PKI authentication, TLS, SSH, and HTTPS, the HD-MD8X8-4KZ-E provides a true enterprise-grade AV switcher.
