AT-HDR-H2H-88MA

The Atlona AT-HDR-H2H-88MA is an 8×8 HDMI matrix switcher for high dynamic range (HDR)
formats. It is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma
sampling, as well as HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. The AT-HDR-H2H-88MA is ideal for
professional HDMI signal routing in residential and commercial applications were a number of AV
sources must be shared throughout eight zones to reduce the installed equipment footprint and
to reduce the costs associated with multiple, redundant devices. It is compatible with all video

resolutions, audio formats, and color space formats supported in the HDMI 2.0b specication,

plus the ability to pass metadata for HDR content. The HDR-H2H-88MA includes EDID and
HDCP management features, and can send CEC display control independently to each output.
An unbalanced analog audio output is paired with each HDMI input for sending de-embedded
HDMI audio to a whole-house audio system. The HDR-H2H-88MA can be controlled via Ethernet,
RS-232, and IR. A handheld IR remote control is included.
