AVPro Edge, distributed by Audio Visual Distributors, has launched its AC-DA-X2 HDMI 2.1b series of distribution amplifiers, including three models with different output configurations.

The models include 48Gbps support and extended EDID management, enabling integrators to overcome installation stumbling blocks while ensuring the best performance for current or legacy AV systems.

“We designed this lineup of AVPro Edge next-gen HDMI distribution amps as high-performance problem solvers for residential and commercial AV integrators across a variety of system applications,” AVPro Edge chief technology officer Matt Murray says.

“The output of each distribution amp can be scaled to provide a 3D immersive audio format signal to a decoding audio playback device that may still be viable for that purpose, though dated for video signal passthrough. This functionality effectively extends the life of costly AV receivers or preamp processors that would otherwise become obsolete.”

The AC-DA-X2 series HDMI distribution amplifiers enable mixed-display systems to coexist at their native rates, with plenty of available dynamic headroom. The AVPro Edge AC-DA-12X2 is a one-input to two-output, 48Gbps HDMI 2.1b distribution amplifier that divides incoming HDMI signals up to 8K/60fps into two separate output streams. The AC-DA-14X2 is a one-input to four-output version, and the AC-DA-18X2 is a one-input to eight-output model, completing the lineup of ultimate 8K/60fps HDMI distribution amplifiers for AV pros.
