AVPro Edge AC-FRESCO-44 – 4x4 HDMI Matrix & Video Wall Processor

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-FRESCO-44 is a dual-mode 4x4 HDMI matrix switcher and 2x2 video wall processor built for commercial AV installations that need both individual source routing and a unified video wall image from the same chassis. This HDMI video wall matrix switcher lets integrators retrofit a traditional 2x2 video wall with instant HDMI source switching, or run the same hardware as a standard four-input, four-output matrix for independent displays. It is suited to commercial video wall installations in government, command-and-control, and worship environments that need flexibility between a single combined image and four discrete sources.

Product Description

The AC-FRESCO-44 operates in two modes from a single chassis: as a 2x2 native video wall processor for a unified single-source image (cascade-capable for larger arrays), or as a 4x4 HDMI matrix switcher routing four independent sources to four displays. Switching between a unified video wall image and four independent programs happens with delay-free, instant HDMI source switching, which suits monitoring and command-and-control environments where an operator needs to punch up a single source immediately. A built-in browser-based Web GUI lets integrators plot default picture mapping coordinates for each display in the video wall, and a front panel LCD with four-button navigation provides local control without a laptop. HDMI source loop outputs, paired with extracted analog and S/PDIF audio, allow multiple AC-FRESCO-44 units to be cascaded into larger arrays without additional distribution hardware. The unit supports 4K/60 Hz 4:4:4 video with up to 12-bit color depth, and includes 4K-to-1080p downscaling to retrofit legacy displays into a modern video wall design. Extracted audio can be delayed up to 630 ms per output to maintain lip-sync in cascaded or long-distance installations. Built-in EDID management and test pattern generation help installers verify signal paths during commissioning. LAN and RS-232 control with a documented API support integration with third-party AV control systems, and user-level web credentials can restrict access to video wall and source assignment functions while keeping admin settings secure. The chassis mounts in a standard rack with included 1U brackets and is covered by AVPro Edge's 10-year, no-hassle warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the AC-FRESCO-44 switch between video wall mode and matrix mode without rewiring? Yes. It switches between a unified 2x2 video wall image and a 4x4 independent matrix with instant HDMI source switching, controlled from the front panel or Web GUI.
• How is the unit installed and mounted? The AC-FRESCO-44 ships with 1U rack mounting brackets and rubber feet, allowing either standard rack mounting or tabletop placement.
• Can multiple units be cascaded for a larger video wall? Yes. HDMI source loop outputs allow multiple AC-FRESCO-44 units to cascade into arrays larger than 2x2 without additional distribution hardware.
• What control systems can integrate with this matrix switcher? The unit supports LAN and RS-232 control with a documented API for third-party AV control processors.
• Does the AC-FRESCO-44 support legacy 1080p displays in a 4K video wall? Yes. Built-in 4K-to-1080p downscaling allows legacy displays to be integrated into a modern video wall design.
• How is audio synchronized across a cascaded installation? Extracted audio can be delayed up to 630 ms per output to correct lip-sync issues introduced by cascading or long cable runs.
• What warranty does AVPro Edge provide? The AC-FRESCO-44 is covered by AVPro Edge's 10-year, no-hassle warranty.
• Can access be restricted for day-to-day operators? Yes. User-level web credentials can limit access to video wall and source assignment functions while keeping admin settings secure.
