Interworld Electronics has released the SM-8X8-C6HDR-POE-HDBT high-definition HDMI video matrix switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE allows the switch to be powered from a remote DC supply via its CAT6 Ethernet cable.

The matrix switch uses HDBase-T technology to route uncompressed digital HDMI video and IR control signals from multiple HDMI video sources to multiple displays and speakers. The technology allows the matrix switch to support HDTV resolutions up to 1080p with an uncompressed bandwidth of 225 MHz (6.75 Gbps), effectively eliminating video compression artefacts.

The product provides direct HDMI inputs and CAT6 outputs that support a maximum extension of 100 m from the switch to remote CAT6 to HDMI receivers. Up to eight HDMI video sources can be connected in any combination to eight video displays.

The device is HDCP compliant and supports 12-bit Deep Color, x.v.Color, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS 7.1 and LPCM, Lip Sync, 3D and Consumer Electronic Control (CEC). Users can configure and control the matrix switch by using the front panel buttons, via a serial port connection or by using the IR remote control.
