- 1080p @60Hz Deep Colour
- 3D compatible & HDCP compliant
- Transmits over a single 100m CAT 6/6A cable with POH

The Smart-e Digital Modular Matrix (DMM) series of matrices house various input/output blades allowing you to design your matrix to the exact requirements of the installation. (I/O Blades found on next tab).
On the MDX-16×16, each input blade has a total of 4 input or 4 output connectors, each blade slot can take either a digital or analogue blade. This approach provides exceptional flexibility, enabling the installer/user to choose the appropriate input/output blades for their system requirement. Product lifespan is optimised as it can be re-deployed for an alternative purpose, simply by changing the input/output blades. Likewise, maintenance burden is reduced with the ability to readily swap-out and exchange blades.
The MDX-16×16 chassis has full matrix switching capablilities, allowing any blade input to any blade output. Analogue inputs will be digitzed and scaled to 720p or 1080p automatically. (controllable)
EDID read/write and HDCP is fully supported to ensure stable source-display connectivity.
The MDX-16×16 can be controlled in various ways, including IR, RS232 and TCP/IP.
The chassis is supplied complete with an AC100-240V 50/60Hz adaptive power supply built in with a standard IEC socket.
The MDX-16×16 is designed in 3RU 19-inch rack mountable form factor for installation to equipment racks or credenzas.
