Kramer 34x34 8K Flexible Modular Matrix Chassis

Kramer MTX3-34-M Overview

The 34x34 8K Flexible Modular Matrix Chassis from Kramer allows you to add optional I/O cards to switch up to 34 input and 34 output audio and video signals in any I/O configuration. A central CTRL card is included to provide management, and it supports up to 17 separately available dual or quad (wired or fiber) cards to switch HDMI, SDI, VGA, digital audio, and analog audio signals.

The unit supports embedded audio, up to 4K60 4:4:4 resolution, and features EDID management, HDCP 2.2 support as well as Gigabit Ethernet IP and RS-232 serial control. With a separately available upgrade, the chassis can also support up to 8K using its 50 Gb/s backplane data rate. The 4 RU enclosure allows you to easily fit the matrix onto a standard rack.

Applications

• Professional large audio-visual switching systems in large facilities.
• Enterprise and government applications requiring flexible and secured large-scale multi-format AV distribution over long distances.

High-Resolution Audio-Visual Experience

The MTX3-34-M is a professional, 8K-ready matrix for switching multi-format AV signals. The modular matrix cards support high 4K60 4:4:4 multi-format AV signal distribution, and the matrix central control is ready for 8K audio-visual signal switching, enabling future upgrades to 8K-capable matrix cards.

HDMI Signal Switching

The matrix is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, lip sync, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified by the HDMI 2.0 standard.

I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing

Intelligent EDID management of each input port by a processing algorithm that manages locking and passthrough, ensuring plug-and-play operation for HDMI sources and display systems.

Robust Signal Distribution

Kramer Equalization and re-Klocking technology professionally rebuilds switched digital signals, preparing them for distribution over long-distance copper and fiber optic cables.

Comprehensive Matrix Control Options

Control can be remote, using the Kramer Control application, or locally using the touch screen. A user-friendly web UI provides high-level remote service control. Locally, the RS-232 service port can be used for high-level Protocol 3000 APIs and there are front-panel control buttons and an LCD screen, which can perform switching operations, storage, and recall of switching presets and configuration switching.

Security-Certified Operation

The matrix is certified for OWASP-10 (Open Web Application Security Project) standard compliance, ensuring secured web-UI user access and communication as well as secured remote operation and management.

Simple Professional Management

Compatibility with the Kramer enterprise management platform enables remote matrix operational management, including matrix automatic discovery and configuration, remote matrix switching operations, matrix and card diagnostics, and firmware upgrade management.

Any Input/Output Mix

Flexible matrix card slot support for either input or output card service. Mix setup and deployment flexibly to match usage needs.

Multi-Format Distribution

The matrix card range supports multiple market-available audio-visual signals, such as HDMI, VGA, and SDI, with analog and digital audio signals. Kramer Core technology enables long-distance signal distribution over standard HDBaseT copper cables and fiber optic infrastructure wiring.

Independent Signal Switching

Modular matrix switching is fully non-blocking, where any matrix input signal can be distributed to any single or multiple output ports.

Secured Operation

Optional redundant power supplies for ensuring continuous and secured matrix operation in mission-critical deployments.

Market-Standard Interoperability

The matrix complies with HDBaseT standards and interoperates with market-available HDBaseT-certified endpoints. For best reach and high-resolution distribution performance, use Kramer HDBaseT cables and Kramer transmitter and receiver endpoints.

Easy Maintenance

Front-panel LED indicators, an LCD display, and a low-noise field-replaceable fan cooling unit make for easy matrix maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrades can be performed via a USB port, and a reset button is provided for convenient, lasting, field-proven deployment.
