8×8 4K 60Hz HDMI Matrix Switch
ZT-115  ZT-MT88A

Introduction

The Zenty ZT-MT88A is the ultimate Audio-Visual solutions for consumers looking to integrate multiple source devices to multiple displays, such as for use in a restaurant or bar, a church or conference centers. With this matrix users can connect up to 8 4K source devices, and route to any of their 8 connected displays.
Each output has an individual SPDIF output, allowing for the audio to be extracted to a separate destination such as a sound bar, AV receiver, or Surround Sound System. Experience the best quality picture by using this matrix, which can support 4K HDR and YUV 4:4:4 Chroma subsampling. Match the display settings of your devices to that of your display using the EDID copy feature of this Matrix, which can set using RS-232 or IP control. When connected to the Matrix, you can set your EDID settings, control your Input and Output assignments, as well as your SPDIF output settings, and more.
It switches one of eight Ultra HD source to any destination with HDCP content protection. For ease of setup, the matrix includes a PC application for EDID configurations. HDMI 2.0 significantly increases bandwidth with some up to 18Gbps and adds key enhancements to enhance your video and audio experience. This matrix is ideal for residential and commercial applications where a number of AV sources must be shared to reduce the installed equipment footprint and to reduce the costs associated with multiple, redundant devices.
