AVPro Edge 6x2 ConferX Auto Switching Matrix – HDBaseT Inputs & Outputs

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge 6x2 ConferX Auto Switching Matrix (AC-CX62-AUHD) is a purpose-built HDBaseT matrix switcher for conference rooms, boardrooms, and corporate huddle spaces that require reliable multi-source video distribution. Supporting six HDBaseT inputs and two HDBaseT outputs, it consolidates AV routing and microphone-level audio management into a single rack-mounted unit. Automatic input switching eliminates the need for manual source selection, making this an ideal HDBaseT auto switching matrix for professional conference room AV installations. Integrators seeking a 6x2 HDBaseT matrix switcher for dual-display conference environments will find this a direct and cost-effective solution.

Product Description

The AC-CX62-AUHD is part of AVPro Edge's ConferX product line, designed specifically for the demands of modern unified communications spaces. All six inputs and both outputs use HDBaseT, allowing video, audio, control, and power to travel over a single CAT cable to remote transmitters and displays — reducing cabling complexity across the installation.

Auto-switching logic monitors active sources and selects inputs by priority or last-connected rules, ensuring the display switches to a presenter's laptop the moment it's connected — without any button presses or control system commands. Microphone, line-level, and volume audio paths are handled natively, supporting the room's audio DSP or conferencing system without additional breakout hardware.

The unit is rack-mountable and compatible with third-party control systems via RS-232 and IP, allowing full integration with room scheduling and control platforms. It is available from Creation Networks with full manufacturer support.

Key Features

• 6x2 HDBaseT Matrix — Routes six independent HDBaseT sources to two HDBaseT display outputs simultaneously.
• Auto-Switching Logic — Automatically selects the active or last-connected input without control system commands, reducing user friction during meetings.
• Integrated Audio Management — Supports microphone-level, line-level, and volume-controlled audio paths for conference room DSP integration.
• HDBaseT I/O — All inputs and outputs use HDBaseT over CAT cable, combining video, audio, control, and power into a single run.
• Rack-Mountable Form Factor — Standard rack-mount chassis simplifies installation in AV closets and equipment rooms.
• Third-Party Control System Compatible — RS-232 and IP control ports allow integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and similar platforms.
• ConferX Product Line — Part of AVPro Edge's dedicated conference room AV ecosystem, ensuring firmware and accessory compatibility across the ConferX range.
• 4K AUHD Signal Support — Designed to handle 4K Ultra HD signals throughout the signal chain.

Typical Applications

• Dual-display corporate conference rooms with multiple presentation sources (laptops, video conferencing codecs, desktop PCs, wireless presentation systems)
• Higher education classrooms requiring automatic switching between instructor workstations and guest presenter connections
• Boardrooms with structured cabling infrastructure where HDBaseT wall plates feed a central rack-mounted switcher
• Government and legal meeting rooms where consistent, unattended switching behavior is required
• Multi-room AV systems where two independent zones need to receive selectable sources from a shared input pool

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AC-CX62-AUHD require a separate control system to perform auto-switching?

No. Auto-switching is a native firmware feature of the AC-CX62-AUHD. The matrix monitors source activity and applies priority-based or last-connected switching logic without any external control system. A control system can still be connected via RS-232 or IP to override or customize switching behavior if needed.

What type of cable is required for the HDBaseT inputs and outputs?

HDBaseT connections use standard CAT6 or CAT6a cable. For maximum distance performance at 4K, CAT6a is recommended. Each HDBaseT port carries video, audio, control signals, and in many cases PoH (Power over HDBaseT) over a single cable run, eliminating the need for separate HDMI and power cables to each endpoint.

Can the matrix handle microphone audio from a conference room ceiling or table microphone?

Yes. The AC-CX62-AUHD includes microphone-level audio inputs, allowing a conference table or ceiling microphone to connect directly to the matrix. This is a differentiating feature compared to matrices that only pass HDMI-embedded audio, and it reduces the need for a separate audio DSP breakout in simpler room configurations.

Is the AC-CX62-AUHD compatible with third-party control systems such as Crestron or Extron?

Yes. The matrix exposes RS-232 and IP (Telnet/Web GUI) control interfaces that are compatible with any third-party control system, including Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Savant. Integrators can send standard ASCII commands to control input selection, volume, and other parameters.

What video resolutions does this matrix support?

The AC-CX62-AUHD is designed to handle 4K Ultra HD (AUHD) signals. Specific maximum resolution and HDR support details should be confirmed in the AVPro Edge product datasheet, as bandwidth capabilities may vary depending on the connected HDBaseT transmitters and cable runs.

How does this matrix fit into a larger ConferX ecosystem?

The AC-CX62-AUHD is part of AVPro Edge's ConferX product line, which includes HDBaseT wall plate transmitters, receivers, and room audio accessories. Using ConferX components together ensures firmware compatibility and simplifies multi-device configuration in conference room deployments.
