A great way to share video content from blu-ray players, set top boxes, PCs or games consoles around the home or corporate building, avoiding the need to purchase multiple bits of hardware that sit idle for long periods of time. The perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication, we have worked alongside installers to create matrices that are simple to set up, include user friendly controls and enables continuous support off-site using our unique cloud monitoring portal.

Featuring 8 HDMI inputs and 8 HDBaseT Class B outputs plus 2 independant HDMI outputs and additional HDCP 2.2 support for 4K/Ultra HD video. Utilizing CEC control allows any supported TV to send key presses from the original TV remote through the HDBaseT link and the matrix will route these messages to the connected source devices.

The VHD-8x includes 8 VHR-1x HDBaseT Class B Receivers.

Note: When passing an IR signal from the control processor to the VHD-8x the OPT-1x is required. Sold separately.

VHD-8x 8x10, VHR-1x HDBaseT Receivers (8), IR Emitters (8), IR Receivers (8), OPT-1x IR Adapter Cable (2), Rack Mounting Kit (1), Power Cable (1)
