Habitech Announces the Intelix HDMI 8x8 Matrix Switcher (1/12/2009)

Habitech is pleased to announce the launch of the new Intelix HDMI 8x8 matrix switcher. Building on Intelix’s reputation for compatibility and reliability of its existing 4x2 and 4x4 matrix switchers, Intelix has added the long-awaited 8x8 to the range.

The 8x8 is the only HDMI matrix switcher in the world that incorporates a 3.7” touchscreen for control and diagnostics. It is fully controllable via IR, RS232 and IP. The new switcher incorporates the EID memory chips sets for instant switching of sources, whether they are 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The new switch is most probably the most sophisticated HDMI matrix switcher available today, and has an SRP of GBP5495 ex VAT.

DIGI-HDMI-8X8 Features:

* Eight HDMI inputs.
* Eight HDMI outputs and eight twisted pair balun outputs.
* 1080i and 1080p compatible.
* HDMI 1.3b and HDCP compliant.
* Distributes eight IR signals from remote destinations to local sources.
* Front panel, Ethernet, RS232, and IR control.
* Diagnostic 3.75" touch screen for setup and control.
* Contractor locking and owner locking.
* Included wireless remote.
* Rack-mountable.

Why settle for mediocrity?

The Intelix DIGIHDMI-8X8 combines a professional-grade HDMI matrix with Intelix's industry-leading extenders. Each system provides eight HDMI inputs, eight HDMI outputs, and eight twisted pair outputs. Plus, a built-in touchscreen delivers front panel source selection and matrix routing with ease. Third-party control systems integrate seamlessly via RS232, Ethernet or IR.

In addition, the DIGI-HDMI-8X8 features eight pass-through IR channels which distribute remote IR commands from in-room controllers, through compatible Intelix twisted pair extenders, up to 150 feet over twisted pair cable, and out of the matrix, allowing complete control of remote sources from the destination.

The Intelix DIGI-HDMI-8X8 is the ultimate solution for whole-house and commercial audio/video distribution.
