LDX-8×8+

The LDX-8×8+ is a professional flexible Digital Modular Matrix (DMM+) capable of selecting between 8 different devices to 8 displays. Seamless switching together with output video scaling provides a professional image selection whilst 4-way modular input and output cards cater for a wide range of signal formats.

Key Features

  • HDMI, DVI, HDBaseT, Fibre, VGA & SDI
  • Output video scaling
  • Web Browser
  • HDMI 1.3a compliant
  • 10.2GBps, 1080p@60Hz
  • HDCP 1.3 compliant
  • PC resolutions to 1920×1200@60 Hz
  • Seamless Switching
  • POC (remote powering receivers)
  • Front panel control

The LDX-8×8+ is a mid sized matrix offering a complete solution for switching and distribution of the most common AV signal types and standard connectivity. Differing signal types can be accommodated by the use of a modular construction. Removeable horizontal blades can be inserted or exchanged allowing inputs and outputs to be expanded in groups of 4 up to the maximum chassis size available. A variety of different blades are presented including: HDMI, DVI,  HDBaseT, 3G-SDI and fibre options together with an analogue card capable of accepting RGBHV, YPrPb, Y/C and PAL/NTSC.

All input signals types are converted to an internal standard format allowing the flexibility of conversion to any output signal format. The conversion into an internal co-timed format provides a seamless switching feature allowing images to be changed without frame rolls or the need to go to black. Each output blade has a individual internal scaler allowing every output image to scale to the native resolution of the connected display for a more professional presentation.

The LDX-8×8+ encompasses a comprehensive method of control including IP, an internal web browser, RS232, remote panel and front panel buttons with LCD display. The LDX+ range provides a cost effective modular solution for budget sensitive projects requiring standard routing features at shorter Cat 6 cable lengths of up to 70m.

Control signal routing is offered as standard allowing infrared and RS232 signals to be selected independently between the HDBaseT inputs and outputs. The signals can be connected via the blades directly or through the connected appropriate Cat 6/6A  transmitters and receivers. To aim ease of installation and improve power efficiency and heat dissipation, powering of the transmitters and receivers is achieved through the Cat 6/6A cable. DC power is sent via common mode connection across the 4 differential pairs of the network cabling.

The LDX-8×8+ routes the embedded multi-channel audio from the source device along with the video signal but can also be swapped with a locally generated audio signal and inserted via the HDMI or DVI blade. Similarly embedded audio is transmitted inside the output video signal but is also available as a stereo analogue signal on the HDMI and DVI output blades.

A preview card is also available as an output blade option. This features a streamed MPEG signal capable of displaying a composite of up to 4 input images. By using a streamed signal, remote monitoring of the matrix and the source devices is possible, ideal for inaccessible locations and in particular boats and luxury yachts.
