Each channel can be programmed with unique EDID information based on the system requirements. This information is available to external sources even when the unit is turned off.

The MatrixPRO 8x8 DVI router accepts inputs up to 2048 x 1080 (including 1920 x 1080) resolutions. Each input is re-clocked as it passes through the router maintaining the DVI signal strength. Each output channel can also display an internally generated test pattern. The test patterns are available with or without any valid input signals.

The unit is controlled from the built-in front panel, the MatrixPRO remote panels, the MatrixPRO software and the Encore and ScreenPRO-II controllers.The front panel includes an easy to read VFD display and a knob for simple navigation of the menus. The menu structure is similar with the rest of the MatrixPRO router family. Communication with the remote panels or the software is established by either Ethernet or RS-232 protocols. The MatrixPRO 8x8 DVI is also automatically recognized by the Encore and ScreenPRO-II controllers. This allows for easy integration into complete Barco production systems.
