1. Introduction

1.1. About MMX6464

MMX6464 is a high-performance video and audio modular matrix switc her supporting
max 64 i nput signal sources and 64 output display synchronously. It supports different
video signals wi th cross switching. Every video or audio signal is transmitted and
switched independently to decrease signal attenuation. MMX6464 supports various
changeable cards including HM DI, D VI, VG A, SDI and HDBaseT etc, and all the cards
support hot plug & play. Users can choose to insert di fferent signal card for different
application.

MMX6464 have power fail memory function and audio can break away from or follow
the video to switch. It has RS232 port for serial control and optional IP port for TCP/IP
control, can be easily controlled by third-part devices.

With its flexible design, MMX6464 can be used for different project and tend to be an
all-in-one solution. It is the com bo solution for multimedia conference rooms, control
rooms, broadcasting rooms, shopping center etc. It will handle all the audiovisual
management, including the switching, driving, scali ng etc.

1.2. Features

 Modular chassis with configurable I/O slots, ranging from 4x4 to 64x64.
 Various I/O cards, includes HDMI, HDBaseT, SD/HD/3G-SDI, DVI and VGA cards

(Compatible with YUV, YC & CVBS.) to configure any matrix.

 Truly cross-point switching, any input to any output, regardless signal format.
 Support HDMI1.4a, support 3D.
 Integrated HDBaseT technology.
 Controllable via button, RS232 & optional TCP/IP, also compatible with 3rd parties

control.

 HDCP compliant.
 LCD display.
