Extron has announced the introduction of the SW2 HD 8K, a new two-input HDMI switcher with analog audio de-embedding designed to provide system integrators with video and audio integration for a wide range of AV environments.
The switcher supports video resolutions up to 8K, including 21:9 and 5K wide aspect ratio content, and in addition to the HDMI output, an analog audio output provides extracted stereo HDMI signals to feed a sound system or other audio equipment.
“The SW2 HD 8K is purpose-built to support the evolving demands of modern AV environments,” says Casey Hall, chief marketing officer for Extron. “With support for 8K and ultra-wide video formats, along with analog audio de-embedding, this switcher delivers the performance and flexibility integrators need to design forward-looking systems with confidence.”
The SW2 HD 8K offers a range of features that include automatic input cable equalisation, user-selectable HDCP authorisation, and multiple control options. The HDMI output can power external peripheral devices, such as active HDMI cables to support signal transmission over longer cable runs. The SW2 HD 8K is a fit for Microsoft Teams Front Row applications, immersive presentations, and next-generation collaboration spaces.
