AC-AXION-X

Axion is a customizable video distribution system built for luxury environments, allowing installers to build and design a matrix switcher for the exact Installation. With up to 16 inputs & 16 outputs of various types, Dolby Atmos audio downmixing and built-in scaling, this device was engineered to be the ideal choice for the custom integrator.

  • 18Gbps Bandwidth Support
  • 4K60 4:4:4 Support
  • Ultimate HDR Support (HDR 10 & 12 Bit, Dolby Vision, HLG)
  • Dolby Atmos & DTX-X Audio Downmixing

A SWITCH BUILT JUST FOR YOUR NEXT INSTALLATION

AXION X defines AVPro Edge’s expression for the current state-of-the-art in 4K matrix switchers. Featuring a chassis-based modular card architecture and custom-configurable for as many as 16 inputs by 16 outputs, AXION X is a world-class device deserving of your full attention.

Design and engineering was focused at fully addressing the needs expressed by custom integrators for a complete, synergistic, diversified product solution that would effectively manage any 4K video signal containing static or dynamic metadata, a companion high bitrate audio codec providing an immersive soundtrack, plus assorted system control signals.

AXION X is outfitted with a sophisticated suite of flexible features enabling integrators to autonomously craft input and output signal routing for audio, video, or control to meet any system requirement and to overcome unexpected on-site obstacles head-on.

 

HOW TO ORDER THE AXION CUSTOMIZABLE MATRIX SWITCH:

  1. Order the Base Chassis
  2. Determine the needs of the Installation
    • How many Inputs? (inputs come in pairs per card, so you will always have an even number)
    • How many Outputs? (outputs also come in pairs per card)
    • Will I need Audio Downmixing? How many sources will I need to downmix?
  3. Order Input and output cards
  4. If you have any HDBaseT, you will want to make sure you have transmitters or receivers to work alongside them.

KEY BENEFITS OF USING THE AC-AXION-X

Invisible Compression - ICT is a technology we developed to ensure 18Gbps distribution over standard category cable. That means what you put in is what you see on the screen. No need to worry about compression artifacts and banding like you find with other compression methods.

 

Ultimate HDR Support - This matrix supports all flavors of HDR in all formats. Including HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, BBC, and NHK. All of them are permitted in up to 4K 60Hz and up to 12 Bit Deep Color. All color space compressions are compatible.

 

Extreme EDID Management - With 29 onboard EDID's, including HDR EDID's, not getting a picture is simply a thing of the past. You can manage the input side of the switch by selecting a preloaded EDID. It also can INSTANTLY read an EDID from any connected display and apply it to the desired input, all with the push of a button. Goodbye, EDID problems...

 

Front Panel Screen - Make setup a breeze! The front panel allows you to do basic configurations, including; EDID, Audio, Matrixing, and network. All without connecting a PC or hooking anything up. This additional mode of control is a welcome resource on the job site.

 

AVPro Edge User Interface – In 2021, AVPro Edge gave the User Interface a significant overhaul, putting the full power of the switch in the integrator's hands. We designed The AVPro Edge User Interface with mobile devices in mind, so feel free to use your phone or tablet for real-time control of switching, scaling, EDID, signal health, control routing, audio routing, and much much more.  

 

MCS (Mission Critical Scaling) Technology – with MCS technology, the power is given to the integrator to choose what types of signals end up on the screen. Scaling is ideal when working with different kinds of TVs and Projectors in the same system.  

 

Audio Downmixing - There is no need to set your source to 2-channel, no matter what kind of audio this matrix switcher receives. Converting audio to 2-channel in the matrix allows you to deliver Dolby Atmos sound to a home theater and 2-channel audio to a bedroom simultaneously.

 

Dual Audio De-Embedding - Our unique Audio De-Embedding allows:

  • The user can extract 2 Channel PCM audio from each output. NOTE: the Analog Port only supports 2CH PCM
  • It features four digital optical Toslink outputs with support for 7CH LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital +, DTS, DTS Master Audio.

Extracted audio routing options include

  1. Bind to output (extracted audio swaps with the video, this is the default mode)
  2. Bind to input (extracted audio is fixed to the corresponding input by the same number)
  3. Independent (extracted audio is routed however integrators like and there are commands to allow it to function as a separate matrix)

 

Volume Control - The ability to manage the sound of an installation is essential. AVPro makes that process easier by allowing you to control the volume of each of the de-embedded audio outputs separately via control commands.  

 

Easier Installation - With the AVPro Edge User Interface, many easily accessible tools are available inside our web-based user interface. Installers of all experience levels can fully deploy large video distribution systems more effortlessly than ever before. Companies will do more jobs and increase profits by finishing installs quicker and saving experienced technicians time and energy to direct towards new installations.

 

Identify Issues Before Leaving the Job Site - The AVPro Edge User Interface allows integrators to follow up and check each video signal's health. Integrators can use the HDMI and HDBaseT diagnosis tools to narrow down a problem with the cabling, EDID, or resolutions if there is an issue. Ensure integrator technicians are working on new installs instead of fixing systems that have already been wrapped up. Integrators can leave a site confident that they won't have to be back while conveying an expert installation to their clients and earning more money.

 

Built-In Simple Video Switching Control - With Admin control, integrators can set up a user with limited access to the User Interface. This feature is perfect for smaller bars and restaurants that need to have their staff control straightforward source switching without having access to the entire setup, diagnostics commands, or volume controls. In some instances, this can help integrators work around some clients' budget restraints, gaining installations they might not have won without the flexibility AVPro Edge products provide.
