  • PDF

Octava launches the HD42CATMX-- an affordable 4x2 HDMI matrix switch combining HDMI inputs with dual integrated RJ-45 extender outputs to zones A and B.

OctavaThe RJ-45 outputs connect to the matching HDCATIR-RX in-room receiver over distances of up to 35m using either CAT5 or CAT6 cable, with support for 1080p60 signals. It is also 3D compatible and has a "Forced 3D" EDID mode handling a mix of 3D and non-3D displays, together with 4 other pre-configured user-selectable EDID modes.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology allows for clutter free installation at both remote zones, since the matrix powers the matching receiver units.

A USB port allows for simple firmware and custom EDID updates, while an RS232 port allows control system integration.
