Kramer MTX3-88-SE 8x8 4K Seamless Matrix Switcher/Scaler

Kramer MTX3-88 Overview

The from Kramer is a high-performance video processing matrix with seamless switching and scaling for HDBaseT and HDMI signals, delivering resolutions at up to 4K60 4:4:4. The unit features eight HDMI inputs, nine HDMI outputs, an HDBaseT 3.0 input, and two mirrored HDBaseT 3.0 outputs as well as four 5-pin block ports for balanced stereo line-level outputs that facilitate audio de-embedding.

Flexible multiview processing and USB routing and extension are supported by the MTX3-88-SE as well as bidirectional infrared extension and intelligent EDID processing. Installation is a breeze thanks to the single-cable connectivity for HDBaseT signals and PoE (Power over Ethernet) power distribution. The sturdy aluminum enclosure also offers a single power mains connection.

Powerful Multi-Viewer

High-resolution flexible multi-view processor, simultaneously displaying dual quad-view presentations each from four inputs, or quad dual-view presentations each from two inputs, concurrently mirrored on dual remote displays.

Seamless Switching

Clean and instantaneous switching between inputs with smooth and uninterrupted transition between presented content on displays, which greatly enhances the presentation experience.

High-Performance Scaling

Built-in ProcAmp with high-resolution scaling technology for optimal up or down image scaling and video signal auto-adjustment with output-connected display capabilities.

HDMI Signal Switching

The unit is HDCP 2.3 compliant, supporting deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.

Simple Control

Remote IP-controller connection, browser operation webpage, or local panel buttons, and eight multiview preset configurations for easy and flexible user ports selection, signals routing, multiview switching, and matrix control.

Built-In Intelligent Control Gateway

Remote IP-driven intelligent serial control of connected devices to reduce installation complexity and costs, and to enable easy integration with control systems such as Kramer Control.

High-Performance Standard Extension

Professional HDBaseT extension, providing extended-reach signals over twisted pair copper infrastructures for remote input source and mirrored matrix dual outputs content on remote displays. Conveying multiple audio-visual, Ethernet, control, and power signals, matrix open-standard extension can be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension products. For optimum extension reach and performance, use recommended Kramer cables.

I-EDIDPro Kramer Intelligent EDID Processing

Intelligent EDID handling, processing, locking, and passthrough algorithm ensures plug-and-play operation for HDMI source and display systems.

Flexible USB Routing and Extension

USB 2.0 signals extension are flexibly routed between HDBaseT input and output links, enabling a remote active USB host connection to the remote USB devices connected to the routed HDBaseT extender endpoint, such as camera and audio devices, in parallel to its locally connected USB devices transmitter or receiver side, such as HID (Human Interface Devices) mouse or keyboard devices.

Audio De-Embedding

The digital audio signal passing through to the selectable outputs is de-embedded, converted to an analog signal, and sent to the stereo balanced analog audio output. This enables playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio system (such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (such as TVs with speakers).

Multi-Channel Audio Transmission

Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.

Ethernet Extension

Ethernet interface data flows in both directions, allowing extension of up to 1 Gb/s Ethernet connectivity for LAN communication and device control.

Bidirectional RS-232 Extension

Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control.

Bidirectional Infrared Extension

IR interface data flows in both directions, allowing remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.

Secured Operation

Standard IT-grade 802.1x authentication for secured IT LAN connectivity operation.

Comprehensive Management

Local panel-button operation, remote IP-driven firmware upgrading, and management via user-friendly embedded web pages, and remote IP or local serial service and management via API commands and responses communication for flexible service options.
