Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810 8x10 Fiber/Copper 4K HDR Matrix Switcher

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810 is an 8x10 HDMI matrix switcher engineered for large-scale commercial AV distribution, combining eight HDMI inputs with two HDMI outputs and eight SDVoE extension outputs over 10GbE copper or fiber optic cable. Designed for AV integrators deploying multi-zone 4K HDR signal distribution in universities, hospitality venues, courtrooms, and corporate facilities, the PRO5-MX810 supports 4K/60 4:4:4 at HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. This SDVoE matrix switcher extends AV, Gigabit Ethernet, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR control to PRO5 Series receivers up to 330 feet over CAT6a or up to 10 kilometers over fiber, making it a complete long-distance 4K fiber matrix switching system for enterprise AV installations.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810 is the centerpiece of the PRO5 Series, a self-contained 8x10 matrix switching and SDVoE extension platform built for high-performance AV distribution in demanding commercial environments. Each of the eight SDVoE extension outputs features both an RJ45 port for copper extension up to 330 feet (100 meters) over CAT6a with IEEE 802.3af PoE to power receivers, and an SFP+ cage for compatible fiber optic modules supporting distances from 38 meters up to 10 kilometers. The switcher is HDCP 2.3 compliant and supports 4K/60 4:4:4 and all major HDR formats including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG at up to 18 Gbps. An independent audio matrix allows de-embedded HDMI stereo audio to be routed to any of the eight balanced analog outputs for integration with multi-zone audio systems, with volume and mute control across up to 16 stereo channels. Multi-channel audio pass-through supports PCM, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and all major compressed formats. EDID management allows integrators to force preferred resolutions and audio formats at each input. The PRO5-MX810 includes comprehensive control system integration: a TCP proxy translates IP commands to RS-232, CEC provides independent display control per output, and an open JSON API enables third-party control platform integration including Atlona Velocity. Eight IR input and eight IR output ports provide full IR routing alongside AV switching. Video processing is available via the AT-PRO5-101-SC-RX scaling receivers, supporting 4K upscaling and downscaling with frame rate conversion and video wall configurations in 2x2, 1x3, and 2x4 arrangements. The PRO5-MX810 mounts in a standard 19-inch rack in 2U, with temperature-controlled quiet cooling fans rated below -20 dBSPL at 1 meter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What receivers are compatible with the AT-PRO5-MX810?

The PRO5-MX810 is designed to work with the AT-PRO5-101-SC-RX (4K HDR SDVoE Receiver with Scaler) and the AT-PRO5-101-RX (4K HDR SDVoE Receiver). The SC-RX adds 4K upscaling, downscaling, and video wall processing capabilities.

Q: Can the AT-PRO5-MX810 extend signals over existing fiber infrastructure?

Yes. Each SDVoE extension output includes an SFP+ cage that accepts a compatible fiber optic transceiver module. Atlona offers the AT-SFP-PLUS-10GE-SR for OM3 multimode fiber up to 300 meters. Third-party OM3 modules from FS, Ubiquiti, Proline, and StarTech have also been validated. Fiber extension distances range from 38 meters to 10 kilometers depending on the module and fiber type.

Q: Does the PRO5-MX810 power the receivers over the network cable?

Yes, when extending over copper CAT6a cable, the PRO5-MX810 supplies IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the AT-PRO5-101-SC-RX and AT-PRO5-101-RX receivers. PoE is not available when the SFP+ fiber port is in use — receivers extended over fiber require local AC power.

Q: What video wall configurations does the PRO5 Series support?

Video wall processing is available through the AT-PRO5-101-SC-RX scaling receivers. Supported configurations include 2x2, 1x3, and 2x4 arrangements. Ten presets can be saved and recalled for quick video wall switching in multi-configuration environments.

Q: How does the PRO5-MX810 integrate with third-party control systems?

The PRO5-MX810 provides TCP/IP and RS-232 control, a TCP proxy that translates IP commands to RS-232 for device control at remote endpoints, independent CEC display control per output, and an open JSON API. It is also compatible with the Atlona Velocity AV control system and Velocity Device Manager for centralized enterprise management.

Q: What audio formats does the PRO5-MX810 support?

The PRO5-MX810 passes through all major HDMI audio formats including LPCM 2.0, 5.1, and 7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. It also de-embeds HDMI stereo audio for routing to eight balanced analog outputs for integration with multi-zone audio systems.

Q: Where can I purchase the Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810?
