AVPro 18Gbps HDMI-HDBaseT™ Matrix Switch
This unit includes 4 or 8 HDMI inputs and 4 or 8 HDMI/HDBaseT output blocks, and these output blocks have an HDBaseT and HDMI port. The matrix mirrors these ports, and both are active. This matrix supports HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.2 or earlier, 4K video resolution, and 18Gbps bandwidth. You can pass 18Gbps through category cable using HTBaseT's Invisible Compression Technology (ITC). This switch allows any source – including Blu-ray, UHD Blu-ray, satellite receivers, game consoles, PCs, and more – to be shown on any of the connected displays. This matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal can be transmitted through long HDMI cables without losing quality.

     Solve common issues as audio arriving before video and mixed systems with lower capability displays with this matrix. Audio delay is on-board, so you can manage lip-sync issues before they become problematic. Also, with built-in scalers, you don't have to forfeit that 4K signal because you have a couple of older displays. Full EDID management allows maximum flexibility with today's broad mixture of sources and displays.
HDBaseT Compatibility Mode (HDBT-C)
This AVPro Edge technology converts high bandwidth signals from 18Gbps to 10.2Gbps. The conversion uses a proprietary algorithm that impacts the original image as little as possible so you can transmit high bandwidth signals over long distances to displays that don't support 18Gbps. HDBT-C is managed on a per-output basis, giving you complete control over what individual runs are down-clocked.
Audio Delay
With this switch, you can manage balanced or digital output audio delay. The audio delay features up to 630ms, eliminating lip sync problems. Audio delay can be managed directly from the front panel for ease of use and simple setup with the push of a button.
4K Up/Down Scaling
Like other AVPro Edge matrix switchers, this unit has scalers built in on each of its outputs. With this scaler, you can upscale an HDMI output from 1080p to 4K. With the HDBaseT outputs, you can scale from 4K down to 1080p for HDBaseT compatibility when using third-party HDMI extenders.
*There is a limitation to scaling with this unit: You cannot downscale on the HDMI outputs, and you cannot upscale on the HDBaseT outputs. 
Extreme EDID Management
With 29 onboard EDIDs, including HDR EDIDs, not getting a picture is simply a thing of the past. You can manage the input side of the switch by selecting a preloaded EDID. We can INSTANTLY read an EDID from any connected display and apply it to the desired input, all with the push of a button.
Dual Audio De-Embedding
Our unique Audio De-Embedding allows for:
The user extracting 2 Channel PCM audio from each output (Balanced 5-Pin Terminal Block, pre-made conversion to L/R cables available).  NOTE:  The Analog Port only supports 2CH PCM -for downmixing, check out AC-AVDM-AUHD or our AXION line of matrix switchers.
Four digital optical Toslink outputs supporting 7CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, and DTS Master Audio.
Extracted audio routing options including:      
Bind to output (extracted audio switches with the video, this is the default mode)
Bind to input (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number)
Independent (extracted audio can be routed however you like, and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix)
ICT Technology on HDBaseT Outputs
ICT (Invisible Compression Technology) is an HDMI extension revolution. This proprietary technology can compress high bandwidth HDMI signals into a more manageable size to fit through a CAT Cable pipe. The ICT algorithm can manage all flavors of HDR, as well as signals up to 18Gbps. The architecture of ICT allows it to be compatible with all chroma subsampling types, color spaces, and HDMI deep color up to 12 bit. It is not only invisible to the human eye but also to HDMI test gear and other sink devices. What comes in is what goes out. What makes ICT special is that we preserve HDR Metadata and color information and depth in its full, original integrity. Other compression technologies sacrifice these to save space, causing banding evident banding, color shifting, and motion artifacts in the image. 
Built-In Test Pattern
The unit features an internal test pattern per output that can be initialized to verify that the infrastructure after the matrix is intact. Test patterns save hours of painful troubleshooting and allow you to preemptively identify problems.
Receiver Options
There are two receiver options:
AC-EX70-444-RNE (recommended) – supports full 18Gbps & HDR up to 70m and 100m on 1080P
AC-EX70-UHD-R – supports up to 4K 60 4:2:0 (10.2Gbps) up to 40m and 70m on 1080P
