INTRODUCTION

Atlona Technologies’ AT-HD-V88M is an 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher designed to work as a switcher for mul­tiple Audio/Video sources and displays. This Atlona matrix unit is capable of switching HDMI signals between
eight sources and eight displays. Because it is a matrix switch, any or all of the 8 inputs can simultaneously be
switched to any or all of the outputs. Along with supporting HDMI 1.3, HDCP 1.1 and DVI 1.0, this devise will
support high denition video in multiple resolutions of up to 1080p or 1920x1200. The input EDID of this unit
is independent, allowing each input to switch between the TV EDID or pre-recorded EDID information. With
manual, RS232, as well as IR Remote control options, Atlona’s AT-HD-V88M Matrix Switcher is perfect for all
applications involving HDMI devices, PC monitors, Plasma TV displays and HDTVs.
