Atlona Technologies AT-PROHD1616M-SR

Atlona Technologies will release the pro AV matrix switcher, the AT-PROHD1616M-SR, at InfoComm 2010. Integrators taking advantage of the many benefits of HDMI’s digital format have been hitting a wall when it comes to large format true matrix switching. While some matrix switches offer formats up to 8×8, many use what is called cross-point switching, allowing each input to be viewed only on a single output. Other switches that offer true matrix switching are not HDCP-compliant. The AT-PROHD1616M-SR, breaks down many barriers for integrators allowing true matrix HDCP compliant switching for up to 16 inputs. Price: $24,999
