AMX SC-N8012 – N-Series Enterprise Matrix Controller

Product Overview

The AMX SC-N8012 is an enterprise-grade N-Series matrix controller designed for large-scale AV-over-IP distribution and switching across commercial facilities. Built for IT-centric environments, it provides web-based graphical matrix control with unlimited device and user support, making it well-suited for enterprise deployments requiring centralized AV management. The SC-N8012 integrates Active Directory, SSL/TLS, and HTTPS to meet enterprise network security standards.

Product Description

The SC-N8012 delivers multi-user, web-based graphical matrix control for AV-over-IP systems running on a single Ethernet network. Administrators can switch between live video streams and locally stored content, schedule and execute display tasks, and manage multiple streams simultaneously without requiring a dedicated host PC. The system supports wall builder, scripting, and panel builder tools for flexible AV environment configuration. Third-party device control is included, extending integration reach across complex installed systems. With dual Ethernet interfaces and enterprise authentication support, the SC-N8012 is built to operate reliably within secured corporate network infrastructure.

Key Features

• Web-Based Graphical Matrix Control: Point-and-click interface for distributing and switching AV sources across the network without specialized software.
• Unlimited Device and User Support: No license caps on connected devices or simultaneous users, supporting large enterprise deployments.
• Scheduled Content Management: Tasks can be created, edited, and executed immediately or scheduled for future display across connected endpoints.
• Live Stream and Local Content Switching: Seamlessly toggles between live video streams and locally stored media for flexible content distribution.
• Wall Builder and Scripting Tools: Built-in tools for constructing video walls, automating behavior, and designing custom control panels.
• Enterprise Security Compliance: Supports Active Directory authentication, SSL/TLS encryption, and HTTPS for integration into secured corporate networks.
• Dual Ethernet Interface: Two Ethernet ports for flexible network topology integration in data-center or rack environments.
• Third-Party Device Control: Extends control beyond AMX endpoints to integrate with third-party AV and facility systems.
