Matrix 10x40 HDMI matrix

    We're looking to deploy an HDMI matrix switch at a bar to replace an existing component switch.

    There are 10 inputs, all mounted in one rack, as is the switch.

    There are 40 screens, the furthest about 120 feet away from the rack.

    The bar is wired with CATx to accommodate the runs from the rack to each screen.

    Any recommendations as to which HDMI matrix should we use?

    For a cleaner installation, it should probably be preferred to select a matrix switch that has extension capability built-in (rather than having additional 40 extension transmitters to install in the rack).

    That being said, such built-in extension generates quite a bit of heat, which is why manufacturers typically limit the number of outputs per matrix.

    Conceptually then, it would make sense to deploy a system consisting of two (or three) matrix switches.
    Example: Two 10x20 matrix switches, each supporting 10 inputs and 20 outputs.
    - Each input will get connected to a two-way splitter, so that all inputs can be hooked up to both switches.
    - First matrix will control displays 1 through 20. Second matrix will control displays 21 through 40.

    Here are two solutions to consider:

    Smart-AVI solution, including:
    10x two way HDMI splitters
    2x expanded MXCore-UH matrix switches, each supporting 10 inputs and 20 outputs.
    40x CATx HDMI receivers
    Price point ~ $45,000
    This solution supports 1080p.
    This solution can be controlled by RS-232, or remotely over IP (control system not included).

    Key Digital solution, including:
    10x three way HDMI splitters
    3x KD-HD16x16ProK matrix switches, each supporting 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
    48x CATx HDMI receivers
    Price point ~ $99,000
    This solution supports Ultra HD/4K.
    This solution can be controlled by iOS devices (via Compass Control) or RS-232 (control system not included).

    Please let us know if you need a detailed quote at this time.

    Finally, we have a question: how are you controlling your current Component system?
