What customers say
Professionals highly regard the AVPro Edge AC-MX-44HDBT for its exceptional reliability and robust performance, justifying its premium cost. Integrators value its set it and forget it stability, crucial for complex installations where downtime is unacceptable. The unit excels at handling high bandwidth 4K HDR signals, a common failure point for lesser matrices. Its superior EDID management consistently resolves source display handshake issues, significantly reducing installation time. The integrated HDBaseT extension provides clean, artifact free transmission over long distances, working well with major control systems. While the initial investment is high, the guaranteed performance and resulting reduction in service calls offer a strong return on investment for certified installers.
Know before you buy
Yes, the AC-MX-44HDBT supports 4K60 4:4:4 video signals and full High Dynamic Range (HDR), ensuring compatibility with modern high-resolution displays and media sources.
The mirrored HDMI outputs allow you to send the same signal to a local display or a secondary device without compression, ensuring the highest possible video fidelity alongside your HDBaseT long-distance runs.
The integrated audio matrixing allows you to independently route audio signals from your sources to different zones, giving you greater flexibility to manage sound systems separately from your video distribution.
The unit features robust RS232 control and flexible IR routing, making it highly compatible with most professional-grade third-party automation and control systems.
No, this specific model does not support Audio Return Channel (ARC/eARC) or Consumer Electronics Control (CEC). It is designed primarily for high-performance video and audio distribution rather than consumer-level display control.
The AC-MX-44HDBT supports a maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps, which is the standard required to maintain high-quality 4K60 4:4:4 video without signal degradation.
