Seamless Hybrid Matrix and HDBaseT for Control Rooms

Control rooms, command centres and multi-screen venues place a specific set of demands on signal distribution: many sources, many displays, long cable runs, and absolutely no tolerance for a black screen during a switch. Amtune's seamless hybrid matrix and HDBaseT distribution range is engineered for precisely those conditions.

The Amtune HD video seamless hybrid matrix family — available in 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 configurations — combines HDMI, DVI, SDI, HDBaseT and fibre connectivity in a single platform. The hybrid design lets integrators mix copper and optical links to match the physical realities of a building, running 4K video over Category cable for moderate distances and switching to fibre for long-haul routes. Seamless, glitch-free switching means an operator can move between sources without the interruption that a conventional matrix produces, which is essential when the display is a control wall that the whole room is watching.

For distribution beyond the rack, Amtune's AV extenders and converters carry high-definition video, audio and control data over Cat cable and fibre, preserving EDID and HDCP behaviour while supporting the Power-over-HDBaseT and control pass-through features that keep installations tidy and serviceable. Where a facility needs to monitor or route many signals at once, the HD video multi-viewer consolidates multiple feeds onto a single display, and the seamless hybrid matrix multiview processor combines switching and multi-window video processing in one unit. For venues that also distribute audio, the HiFi DAC preamp family delivers high-resolution playback alongside the video chain.

Applications span control rooms and command centres, broadcast suites, digital signage networks, conference and collaboration spaces, and large-format retail and hospitality installations. Because every element — matrix, extender, converter, multiviewer and networked audio module — comes from a single manufacturer, integrators can standardise on one supply partner for a project's entire signal chain, simplifying procurement, certification and long-term support. All Amtune products are manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality system and tested to CE, FCC and RoHS standards, with OEM and ODM programmes available worldwide.
