The Revolutionary Cat 5 Video & Audio Distribution System
HD Matrix Signal Distribution
The AVAtrix Model AVX-562 is an HD matrix that
delivers component video, digital audio and stereo audio
signals for distributed video and home theater systems.
Any of six sources may be routed to multiple remote
wallplates or to the main output at any time. Each of the
AVX-562’s outputs is terminated at a wallplate/receiver
which provides a connection point for component video,
digital audio, and stereo analog audio. Audio Authority’s
innovative balanced line architecture, along with our
Active Gain Equalization (AGE) technology, allows the
signal to be transmitted up to 1,000 feet while preserving
high definition signal clarity and vibrancy.
Cat 5 Wallplate Receivers
Audio and video signals are carried on two
Cat 5 cables to each wallplate/receiver. The
wallplates are powered from the head end
over Cat 5 – no power connection required
at the zone. A return pathway for IR signals is included in the
Cat 5 cable run. This pathway allows the AVAtrix to be remotely
controlled via IR, and it also delivers discrete IR control signals
to the sources.

Custom Options
The Model AVX-562 is easy to install right out of the box with virtually no setup or assembly required for basic installations. The
system is loaded with all the features and options needed for complex installations as well. It ships with its own IR remote control, and
the AVAtrix IR and RS-232 control codes are available for download from Audio Authority as well as several remote control companies.
Each source input can be given a custom name that is displayed on the fluorescent display. A flash memory slot allows easy firmware
upgrades and provides a way for installers to quickly perform setup tasks using a PC for configuration.

The Perfect HDTV Distribution Solution
The AVX-562 is your ticket to quicker, simpler, headache-
free installations. Two Cat 5 cables are all you need—they
do the work of six coaxial cable runs plus provide an IR
pathway for source control. Balanced line technology
allows for superior noise rejection and excellent picture
quality. The AVX-562 is perfectly suited for home use,
restaurant television distribution, digital signage, even retail
demonstrations of HDTV.

Expand and Extend the AVAtrix
Add Remote Zones
The 1176 HD Cat 5 Matrix Router expands an AVAtrix system to allow six
additional matrix outputs. Add up to five 1176s to the AVX-562 to increase
the total outputs to 36 remote locations. Connects via internal system bus
cable and four jack screws.
Interface with an Audio Distribution System
The 1172 Audio Interface is a breakout adapter that allows the easy
connection of whole-house audio amplifier components. It provides digital
and analog audio to independent audio systems with integrated switching
or systems with dedicated zone amplifiers. Connects via internal system bus
cable and four jack screws.
Bus Cable for Adding More than Two Expanders
The AVAtrix has an internal ribbon bus cable that allows for two expanders
(802-567). If you plan to add three to five expanders, the seven-port
802-568 bus cable is required.
Send IR Signals to or from the Head End
The 1109 IR Injector allows IR control signals to be sent from a device
near the AVAtrix out to IR emitters connected to wallplate/receiver jacks.
Connections for up to six wallplate/receivers with each pathway operating
independently to enable a mix of incoming and outgoing IR signals. Requires
no power source.
