The HD-MD2X1-8K is a 2x1 8K AV Switcher and Smart Display Controller that provides a variety of options for controlling displays without a control processor. Ideal for unified communications, digital signage, and presentation spaces, the HD-MD2X1-8K can be configured to automatically power displays on and off based on schedule, room occupancy, or video sync detect. The HD-MD2X1-8K can also be utilized in residential systems to control a variety of devices such as garage doors and TV lifts.

CEC Control

CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) can control the source and display devices via the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for dedicated serial cables or IR emitters, as well as eliminating the need for a control system. CEC over the HDMI output can also enable the display devices to be turned on or off automatically.

Device Control via RS-232, IR, Relay, and Digital Input Ports

The HD-MD2X1-8K includes built-in COM (RS-232), IR, relay, and digital input ports for control of source devices and accessories.

Automatic Switching of Inputs

Automatic switching between two HDMI inputs can occur based on the last connected input or on the routing priority assigned to each input. Switching behavior is configurable using the web interface or programmable using a Crestron control system. In addition, input selection push buttons on the front panel of the HD-MD2X1-8K enable the desired input to be selected manually.

Built-In Web Interface

Full configuration of the HD-MD2X1-8K can be accomplished using the built-in web interface. To simplify system installation, the configuration of a single unit can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device and then uploaded to multiple HD-MD2X1-8K units.

EDID Management

The HD-MD2X1-8K provides comprehensive management of EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to ensure that every source is displayed at the optimal resolution and format. For applications requiring a custom configuration, the HD-MD2X1-8K enables assessment of the format and resolution capabilities of any device that is connected to the HDMI output. The HD-MD2X1-8K provides the ability to configure signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable behavior.

8K60 4:4:4 and HDR Support

The HD-MD2X1-8K supports video resolutions up to 8K60 with 4:4:4 color sampling. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision® are also supported.
