Distribute eight high-bandwidth HDMI sources to eight zones and provide separate two-channel audio for multiroom systems.
The AC-AXION-8 is a professional AVPro Edge solution designed for 8×8 18gbps matrix with per-input stereo downmix. Distribute eight high-bandwidth HDMI sources to eight zones and provide separate two-channel audio for multiroom systems. 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 eight-source, eight-zone routing, eight-input audio downmix and unaltered theater 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-8 is best evaluated as part of the complete signal chain: source, transport or routing hardware, control system and final playback equipment.
Features and capabilities
| Eight-source, eight-zone routing | Provide independent video selection for eight destinations from a centralized set of sources. |
| Eight-input audio downmix | Convert supported multichannel audio bitstreams to two-channel audio for stereo zones. |
| Unaltered theater audio | Downmix affects de-embedded audio while the primary HDMI/HDBaseT signal can retain its original soundtrack. |
| 4K60 HDR support | Original catalog lists HDMI 2.0 a/b video, 4K60, deep color and HDR formats including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. |
| Web-based management | Use the AXION interface to configure signal routes and troubleshoot source/display negotiation. |
| EDID management | Control source compatibility for displays with different resolution and audio requirements. |
| Multizone audio flexibility | Serve a high-end theater and simpler stereo listening zones from the same source infrastructure. |
| Automation readiness | Manufacturer describes integration drivers for major control systems; verify compatibility before commissioning. |
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.
