Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMIX - 8x2 Multipurpose AV Production Switcher

Product Overview

The Vaddio AV Bridge MatrixMIX (SKU: 999-5660-000) is a rack-mount multipurpose AV production switcher that consolidates switching, camera control, audio mixing, graphic overlay, and USB/IP streaming into a single appliance. Designed for live production, lecture capture, and unified conferencing applications, the 8x2 video mixer with 11x7 audio matrix handles analog, HDMI, USB, and IP audio channels. Simultaneous RTSP IP and USB 3.0 streaming outputs support concurrent delivery to conferencing platforms, IP encoders, and local recording systems from a single commercial-grade AV switcher.

Product Description

The AV Bridge MatrixMIX is purpose-built for environments that need production-level AV switching without separate hardware for audio mixing, streaming, and graphics. Its 8x2 video matrix provides multiviewer output, enabling operators to monitor all connected sources simultaneously while selecting program and preview signals. Two graphic keying layers per output channel support real-time overlay of logos, lower thirds, and presentation graphics—meeting the production quality requirements of corporate broadcast, house of worship, and higher education live streaming workflows.

The 11x7 audio mixer accommodates analog line-level, HDMI-embedded, USB, and IP audio sources, eliminating the need for external audio format conversion in most commercial installations. This versatility makes the AV Bridge MatrixMIX suitable for integration into existing AV systems regardless of installed signal types. Simultaneous RTSP IP and USB 3.0 streaming outputs allow the same switched program to be delivered to a UC platform (Zoom, Teams, Webex), an external IP encoder, and a local recorder at the same time.

When paired with the optional PCC MatrixMIX Camera Controller (available as the 999-5660-500 Production System bundle) and Vaddio PTZ cameras, the AV Bridge MatrixMIX forms a complete live production system. It also supports remote IP control, enabling centralized management of multiple rooms from a network operations center—a practical capability for large enterprise or multi-campus deployments.
