2. Modular router concept
MX8x8HDMI-Pro and MX8x8DVI-HDCP-Pro are fixed I/O size matrix switchers
with eight inputs and eight outputs respectively.
MX32x32 series and MX16x16 series Pro routers are modular matrix switchers that
allow building custom I/O sizes that meet the user’s requirements. Different types
of input and output cards give the maximum flexibility for rental and installation
signal transmission.
