Vaddio AV Bridge Matrix PRO - 4-Camera USB Conferencing Switcher

Product Overview

The Vaddio AV Bridge Matrix PRO (999-8230-000) is a commercial-grade 4-camera USB production switcher and 8-channel audio matrix for conference rooms, lecture capture, and live streaming. It aggregates up to four video inputs and eight audio inputs into a single USB 3.0 stream for PC-based conferencing and recording, bypassing the one-camera, one-audio-device limitation of standard PC USB ports. The unit streams H.264 to up to five simultaneous IP clients, making it a complete, rack-mountable production hub for multi-camera commercial AV deployments.

Product Description

The four-channel video mixer uses Vaddio Quick-Connect technology on three inputs, allowing any Vaddio camera to connect over Cat-5e with power, video, and RS-232 control delivered through a single cable — no separate power supplies or control wiring per camera position. All four video inputs and the three Quick-Connect inputs include HDMI ports to support non-Vaddio cameras, laptop content, or other HDMI sources. A Quick-Connect Display output sends video over Cat-5 to a room display in HDMI, DVI, RGBHV, or HD Analog Component format.

The eight-channel digital audio mixer supports up to four Vaddio MicPODs and four additional balanced or unbalanced audio inputs, each with integrated AEC, noise reduction, AGC, parametric EQ, and configurable filters. This built-in DSP processing eliminates the need for a separate audio processor in most conference and lecture capture deployments. Four independent audio outputs with individual gain control support discrete speaker zones or broadcast routing.

Video processing features include picture-in-picture (PIP), scene transitions, camera control unit (CCU) settings, and on-screen text overlay. Up to five simultaneous H.264 IP streaming clients can receive the mixed output, and the unit handles both USB record and USB playback channels for full-duplex conferencing. Audio configuration is managed entirely via web browser with no dedicated software required on the control PC.

• Houses of worship with multi-camera production and live streaming
• Training rooms with remote participant feeds and local recording
• Auditoriums and all-hands rooms with complex audio routing requirements

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Vaddio cameras are compatible with the Quick-Connect inputs?
All Vaddio Quick-Connect cameras including RoboSHOT, ZoomSHOT, WideSHOT, and ConferenceSHOT models. Browse compatible cameras at creationnetworks.net/collections/vaddio.

Does the AV Bridge Matrix PRO replace a DSP processor?
For most conference room and lecture capture applications, yes. Built-in AEC, noise cancellation, AGC, parametric EQ, and automatic microphone mixing handle processing typically managed by a standalone DSP.

How many PC applications can receive the USB stream simultaneously?
The USB 3.0 stream is presented to one host PC. However, up to five simultaneous IP streaming clients can receive the H.264 stream over the network independently of the USB output.

Can non-Vaddio cameras be connected to the video mixer?
Yes. All four video inputs include HDMI ports. Any HDMI-output device can connect to any of the four inputs.

What rack space does this unit require?
The AV Bridge Matrix PRO is a standard 1U rack-mount unit, fitting any standard 19-inch equipment rack.

What is the warranty?
Vaddio provides a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for pre-sales design assistance or post-sale support.
