Extron DXP 44 HD 4K PLUS 4x4 4K/60 HDMI with 2 Audio Outputs

Product Description

The Extron DXP 44 HD 4K PLUS is a 4x4 HDMI matrix switcher that routes computer and video signals at resolutions up to 4K/60 with 4:4:4 chroma sampling. It independently routes any of four HDMI sources to any of four HDMI displays, making it a compact fit for conference rooms, divisible meeting spaces, briefing rooms, lecture halls, and control rooms that distribute multiple 4K sources to multiple displays. Supporting HDMI 2.0 with data rates up to 18 Gbps, the switcher passes HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, HD lossless audio formats, and CEC, and is HDCP 2.3 compliant for protected content.

This 4x4 4K/60 HDMI matrix switcher includes two audio output groups with built-in de-embedders that extract HDMI audio to discrete S/PDIF and analog stereo outputs, removing the need for external HDMI audio extraction boxes when integrating a local sound system. Automatic input cable equalization and output reclocking preserve signal integrity, equalizing 4K/60 signals to 35 feet (10.7 meters) with Extron HDMI Pro cables. The switcher installs in a 1U, full-rack-width metal enclosure and is operated over RS-232, Ethernet, or the front panel.
