Atlona 8×8 4K UHD HDR HDMI Matrix Switcher

Product Description

4K HDR 8×8 HDMI Matrix Switcher

The Atlona AT-HDR-H2H-88MA is an 8×8 HDMI matrix switcher for high dynamic range (HDR) formats. It is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, as well as HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps. The HDR-H2H-88MA is ideal for residential applications with the latest as well as emerging 4K/UHD and HDR sources and displays. It is compatible with all video resolutions, audio formats, and color space formats supported in the HDMI 2.0b specification, plus the ability to pass metadata for HDR content. The HDR-H2H-88MA includes EDID and HDCP management features, and can send CEC display control* independently to each output. An unbalanced analog audio output is paired with each HDMI input for sending de-embedded HDMI audio to a whole-house audio system. The HDR-H2H-88MA can be controlled via Ethernet, RS-232, and IR. A handheld IR remote control is included.

The HDR-H2H-88MA is designed to deliver dependable, pristine-quality image presentations in residential as well as commercial applications. It includes Atlona’s award-winning 10 year limited product warranty and customer support services, so that integrators can specify, purchase, and install with confidence.

(Note: The HDR-H2H-88MA de-embeds HDMI two-channel PCM audio. For extracting and downmixing Dolby® and DTS® audio, Atlona recommends the AT-HDR-M2C or AT-HDR-M2C-QUAD audio converters.)

* Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona does not guarantee the function of CEC with all televisions. We can confirm proper operation with many current Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and LG TVs. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command when sent from a source and older TVs use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports those TVs that follow CEC command structure from HDMI 1.2a and support the “off” command when issued by a source. We encourage any dealer to get evaluation product from Atlona prior to designing a system around this control technology or be prepared to use other methods to control their displays if Atlona CEC is not compatible with the installed displays.
