The MTX3-88-SE 8x8 4K Seamless Matrix Switcher/Scaler from Kramer is a high-performance video processing matrix with seamless switching and scaling for HDBaseT and HDMI signals, delivering resolutions at up to 4K60 4:4:4. The unit features eight HDMI inputs, nine HDMI outputs, an HDBaseT 3.0 input, and two mirrored HDBaseT 3.0 outputs as well as four 5-pin block ports for balanced stereo line-level outputs that facilitate audio de-embedding.

Flexible multiview processing and USB routing and extension are supported by the MTX3-88-SE as well as bidirectional infrared extension and intelligent EDID processing. Installation is a breeze thanks to the single-cable connectivity for HDBaseT signals and PoE (Power over Ethernet) power distribution. The sturdy aluminum enclosure also offers a single power mains connection.

High-resolution flexible multi-view processor, simultaneously displaying dual quad-view presentations each from four inputs, or quad dual-view presentations each from two inputs, concurrently mirrored on dual remote displays.

Clean and instantaneous switching between inputs with smooth and uninterrupted transition between presented content on displays, which greatly enhances the presentation experience.

Built-in ProcAmp with high-resolution scaling technology for optimal up or down image scaling and video signal auto-adjustment with output-connected display capabilities.

The unit is HDCP 2.3 compliant, supporting deep color, x.v.Color, CEC, HDMI uncompressed audio channels, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D as specified in HDMI 2.0.

Remote IP-controller connection, browser operation webpage, or local panel buttons, and eight multiview preset configurations for easy and flexible user ports selection, signals routing, multiview switching, and matrix control.

Remote IP-driven intelligent serial control of connected devices to reduce installation complexity and costs, and to enable easy integration with control systems such as Kramer Control.

Professional HDBaseT extension, providing extended-reach signals over twisted pair copper infrastructures for remote input source and mirrored matrix dual outputs content on remote displays. Conveying multiple audio-visual, Ethernet, control, and power signals, matrix open-standard extension can be connected to any market-available HDBaseT-compliant extension products. For optimum extension reach and performance, use recommended Kramer cables.

Intelligent EDID handling, processing, locking, and passthrough algorithm ensures plug-and-play operation for HDMI source and display systems.

USB 2.0 signals extension are flexibly routed between HDBaseT input and output links, enabling a remote active USB host connection to the remote USB devices connected to the routed HDBaseT extender endpoint, such as camera and audio devices, in parallel to its locally connected USB devices transmitter or receiver side, such as HID (Human Interface Devices) mouse or keyboard devices.

The digital audio signal passing through to the selectable outputs is de-embedded, converted to an analog signal, and sent to the stereo balanced analog audio output. This enables playing the audio on a locally connected professional audio system (such as DSP) and speakers, in parallel to playing it on the speakers connected to the AV acceptor device (such as TVs with speakers).

Up to 32 channels of digital stereo uncompressed signals for supporting studio-grade surround sound.

Ethernet interface data flows in both directions, allowing extension of up to 1 Gb/s Ethernet connectivity for LAN communication and device control.

Serial interface data flows in both directions, allowing data transmission and device control.

IR interface data flows in both directions, allowing remote control of peripheral devices located at either end of the extended line.

Standard IT-grade 802.1x authentication for secured IT LAN connectivity operation.

Local panel-button operation, remote IP-driven firmware upgrading, and management via user-friendly embedded web pages, and remote IP or local serial service and management via API commands and responses communication for flexible service options.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this output to an Atomos Ninja recoder?

A: Yes, you can use this with an Atomos. Just make sure the Atomos is set to receive the type of video output of the switcher.

Q: 2. Can you plug a laptop directly into an input and will the mixer properly recognize the signal?

A: How well the signal will be recognized will depend on the computer itself, but that being said you should be able to connect a computer to this switcher through HDMI. It is possible.

Q: 3. One of the reviewers said that The HDMI inputs have scalers/framesyncs on them so they will take almost any signal with no issue . Is it right? In official spec's there is such information: As with most HD video switchers, the SE-1200MU will expect all video inputs to beoperating at the same video standard as theswitcher itself .

A: The SE-1200 requires all the cameras to be the same resolution in order to work properly. So if you set SE-1200 to 720p, then the cameras need to be 720p, etc. However, it does have framesync. Side note, the HDMI will scale up to 1080p on the output, but if you use HDSDI, then you it will scale back to 1080i so maybe that is what you mean by scaling.Craig

Q: 4. Can I use SE 900 control panel for SE-1200MU switcher?

A: No, unfortunately SE-900 control panel is not compatible with the SE-1200MU switcher. SE-1200MU has a control panel, RMC-260, that you can purchase. Thanks!

Q: 5. Hi.. i just bought se 1200 switcher.. i wonder how can i set up the software to control it on my windows laptop.. pls guide me to set up it.. thank you..

A: If you are having issues setting up your SE-1200MU feel free to email us directly at provideo@bhphoto.com. We will be better able to assist you through email.

Q: 6. can i use it for mac?

A: If you are referring to setting up the switcher then I am afraid not, that will be only with a Windows computer. However it does have HDMI inputs if you wanted to feed a Mac in to it as a source.

Q: 7. Will the Datavideo DE-650 record each input into a separate MP4 video file?

A: Unfortunately it will not. That is not possible with this switcher. For ISO recording of each input you'd need to look at Software and Computer Based Switching solutions. The Telestream Wirecast Gear 110 is a great option to consider, BH #TEWCGEAR110. https://bhpho.to/2kPYog8

Q: 8. Am I reading correctly that the SE-650 is able to embed auxiliary audio input on the HDMI output, but not on the SDI output?

A: We're not quite clear as to where you were reading that, but according to the manufacturer, audio may be embedded on all digital outputs.

Q: 9. it is work with alpha key & fill inputs to make a layer inside it?

A: This switcher has the ability to Chroma Key and it also has two Downstream Keyers for bringing in graphics and titles.

Q: 10. Can I connect this switcher to datavideo NVD-20 IP, to record my video

A: No. You can not record video via Ethernet coming from SE-1200 ethernet port because it sends only multicam window over network.
