With an increasing amount of content being released direct to home streaming, a state-of-the-art as well as future-ready home theatre system is needed to fully immerse yourself in the movie experience.

With its advanced customization and processing capabilities, the MX180 allows for full enjoyment of today’s 4K video plus tomorrow’s 8K content as it becomes more available.

The MX180 A/V Processor supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz on all seven of its Ultra High Speed HDMI ports (five inputs and two outputs). Each support HDCP 2.3; 4:4:4 Colour; Rec. 2020; Dynamic Lip-sync; Quick Media Switching (QMS) that eliminates the delay that can result in blank screens before content is displayed; and 3D Video pass-through.

The HDMI outputs can either simultaneously output the same source material to two separate screens, or they can output different content from two different sources to two separate screens at the same time.

Up to 16 channels of discrete decoding are available. Analogue audio is output to your home theatre amplifiers via balanced outputs for popular 15.1 or 9.1.6 surround sound speaker configurations among others. This allows you to have a multitude of home theatre speakers to create an enveloping cinematic soundstage. Depending on your speaker arrangement, four of the outputs can be used for bi-amping some of your speakers or to drive additional subwoofers.

It also features sophisticated RoomPerfect room correction technology that will measure and adjust the audio output to compensate for the specific acoustic properties of your space (calibration microphone and stand included).

To create the most life-like and realistic picture possible, the MX180 supports a myriad of high dynamic range formats: HDR (static HDR); Dynamic HDR; HDR10+; HLG; and Dolby Vision (including low latency). These technologies will ensure every moment of a video is displayed at its ideal values for depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and colour – on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.

Other enhanced HDMI video features included in the MX180 will improve gameplay performance by bringing an added level of smooth and seamless motion and transitions.

• Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) allows the ideal latency setting to automatically be set allowing for smooth, lag free and uninterrupted viewing and interactivity.
• Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces latency for smoother no lag gaming, and real time interactive virtual reality.
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, stutter and frame tearing for more fluid and better detailed gameplay.
