Seamless 4K Distribution for Every Important Screen.
Distribute four HDMI sources across four zones while separately producing two-channel audio from compatible multichannel sources.
The AC-AXION-4 is a professional AVPro Edge solution designed for 4×4 18gbps matrix with audio downmixing. Distribute four HDMI sources across four zones while separately producing two-channel audio from compatible multichannel sources. It is intended for integrators who need to match the signal path to the connected equipment rather than rely on a generic consumer accessory.
Purpose-built AV performance.
Reliable performance begins with a system design that considers the source signal, destination capabilities and cabling. For this model, the most important considerations are four-source, four-zone switching, audio downmix on every input and preserved immersive hdmi audio. The specifications and feature descriptions below distinguish the capabilities of this model from other products in the AVPro Edge range.
Choosing the correct equipment is particularly important when different rooms, receivers or displays have different capabilities. The AC-AXION-4 is best evaluated as part of the complete signal chain: source, transport or routing hardware, control system and final playback equipment.
Features and capabilities
| Four-source, four-zone switching | Route four connected source devices to four independently selected destinations. |
| Audio downmix on every input | Produce two-channel audio for distributed stereo zones from supported multichannel bitstreams. |
| Preserved immersive HDMI audio | Downmix processing applies to de-embedded audio; HDMI/HDBaseT routes can retain their original immersive soundtrack. |
| 18Gbps-class video handling | Designed for HDMI 2.0 a/b source and display installations, including supported 4K HDR formats. |
| AXION user interface | Configure routes, EDID and system behavior through the integrator-oriented management interface. |
| Custom EDID control | Coordinate source output formats with the capabilities of the connected screens and processors. |
| Mixed theater and stereo zones | Send immersive audio to a main theater while supplying stereo audio to secondary rooms. |
| Automation integration | Manufacturer describes drivers for major automation systems; confirm the driver and firmware revision for the project. |
Connections and system design.
Connect sources to the matrix and plan each output for its destination's video and audio capabilities. Use supported EDID, scaling and automation controls to accommodate mixed generations of equipment.
Verify HDMI bandwidth, HDCP, output processing and any required HDBaseT receivers for the specific source/display combination.
