The DisplayPort input signals are transformed to HDMI for signal management. Input signals that do not fit in the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth of 18GHz can be converted to 4:2:2 while maintaining bit depth, thus allowing for HDR transmission. The switcher has outstanding port density making it particularly suitable for fix-install applications and for future-proof operation centres, for installations where a huge number of DisplayPort 1.2 compliant input and output ports are required. This router supports 3D, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and also HDR and Dolby Vision. Proprietary Lightware technologies like Pixel Accurate Reclocking and Advanced EDID Management are included and can be controlled via the built-in website.

MX2-48x48-DH-24DPio-A-R allows embedding audio to, and de-embedding audio from the signal stream at dedicated analog audio I/O ports.

Crosspoint switching functions are available via keys on the front panel.

MX2-48x48-DH-24DPio-A-R is an R-type model, with a dual redundant power source, with two, independent, rugged power connectors and reinforced RS-232 and Ethernet ports.

The matrix is recognized by the connected DisplayPort source as a DP-to-HDMI converter, and video input signals of 3840x2160 4:4:4 RGB 10 bit are converted to 3840x2160 4:2:2 YCbCr 10 bit or 3840x2160 4:4:4 RGB 8 bit on the DisplayPort input.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that DP Multi-Stream (MST), Dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), Adaptive-Sync and FreeSync™ are not supported, and neither is HDR on DisplayPort outputs.
