Asheridge announces availability of a new range of Purelink Modular HDMI Matrix Routers (7/5/2009)

Asheridge Communications, the specialist provider of home and commercial AV solutions, has introduced a new range of Purelink Modular HDMI Matrix Routers. Until recently HDMI Matrix Routers have had a very limited capacity with only a handful (including Purelink) being able to offer 8x8 switching. Now Purelink's new technology enables up to 36x36 matrix capability.

This new modular device still maintains all the benefits of a fixed input matrix, due to the high quality components used. The speed of changing sources remains a key feature with the MX-1800 and MX-3600 retaining handshake information from all screens and HDMI devices in order to provide the fastest possible switching time, and minimise blue screens during the handshake process. The Matrix retains RS232 and LAN control for maximum options and flexibility of control.

Purelink have an established high end AV background with their core business being in mission critical government and military applications, where the highest standards are required and hardware failure is not an option. Their products provide minimal degradation of the signal integrity, making them suitable for use as part of a much larger system without the need for additional signal boosters.

Despite the quality of the components and the breeding of these devices the new Purelink MX-1800/3600 HDMI Matrix is incredibly cost effective. When compared to comparative modular systems, the Purelink matrix costs between £5,000 - £10,000 less per loaded unit.

A choices of two chassis units are available with the MX-1800 able to matrix up to 18 x18 devices, and the MX-3600 36 x 36. Also you can mix HDMI and DVI input and output cards to give further flexibility.
