8×8 HDBaseT Matrix Switcher with 4K60 & CAT Extension (150m)

The KanexPro MMX-8X8CAT-150M is an 18Gbps 8×8 HDMI matrix switcher with long-range HDBaseT extension up to 492ft (150m) per output, purpose-built for large-venue and enterprise AV installations requiring 4K60 distribution across entire floors, wings, or buildings from a single equipment room. Eight HDMI 2.0b sources are routed simultaneously to up to sixteen displays — eight via direct HDMI and eight via HDBaseT to the included PoC-powered receivers — over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable per run. 24V Power over Cable eliminates the need for local power at each remote receiver. For 1080p signals the maximum extension reaches 492ft (150m); 4K60 4:4:4 is supported to 394ft (120m).

Unlike the 70m model, the MMX-8X8CAT-150M includes coaxial audio de-embedding (3.5mm stereo mini-jack) and balanced analog audio outputs (5-pin Phoenix connector) on every HDBaseT port — enabling direct connection to amplifiers, DSPs, or audio distribution systems without a separate extractor. Analog performance specs: PCM 2.0CH, Vmax 2Vrms, SNR >90dB, THD+N <0.1%, frequency response 20Hz–20kHz ±0.5dB. Full 18Gbps video bandwidth supports 4K2K@60Hz (YUV 4:4:4), all HDR formats (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG), and HD audio pass-through including LPCM 7.1, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-X. Each output includes an independent 4K-to-1080p downscaler for mixed-resolution environments. An OLED front panel displays live routing status and configuration. Control via front panel, IR remote, RS-232, TCP/IP LAN, and Web GUI — integrates with Crestron, AMX, and third-party control systems.

The 2U chassis houses the full 8×8 switching fabric with all ports on the rear panel. Ideal for performing arts centers, houses of worship, university lecture halls, broadcast facilities, and large corporate campuses where sources must reach distant displays with full audio de-embedding and professional analog outputs.
