Description
The Atlona AT-HDR-MX1616 is a 16×16 HDMI to HDBaseT matrix switcher designed to route multiple 4K HDR HDMI sources to distributed displays and AV endpoints. It supports 4K/UHD at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and is HDCP 2.2 compliant. The unit integrates an audio matrix and HDBaseT extension to centralize signal distribution across medium and large AV deployments.
Key features include 16 HDMI inputs, 16 HDBaseT outputs each mirrored by an HDMI output, and support for HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision HDR formats. The switcher provides visually lossless, zero-latency compression for long-distance 4K/60 4:4:4 extension over HDBaseT. A built-in audio matrix de-embeds up to 16 two-channel PCM sources to 16 unbalanced stereo analog outputs with independent volume control.
Performance supports 18 Gbps data rates and pixel clocks up to 600 MHz when paired with compatible receivers. Chroma subsampling options include 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 and color depth up to 12-bit. Range over Category cable reaches up to 330 feet/100 meters for 1080p and 4K signals depending on cable category and receiver compatibility.
Connectivity options include 16 HDMI inputs, 16 HDBaseT outputs, mirrored HDMI outputs, IR ports, RS-232, and Ethernet. The unit supports TCP/IP, RS-232, IR, CEC, and a web-based GUI for configuration and control. It can remotely power compatible HDBaseT receivers and proxy serial communications to connected endpoints.
The AT-HDR-MX1616 is suitable for lecture halls, boardrooms, hospitality venues, and digital signage environments that require centralized signal distribution. It handles multi-source routing and zoned audio distribution while preserving HDR metadata and HDCP compliance. The matrix supports automatic and user-defined EDID management to optimize source/display interoperability.
Installation is simplified by rack-mountable 4U form factor, captive screw connectors, and active cooling for continuous operation. Front-panel controls and an integrated web server provide local and remote management. The switcher is built for 24/7 commercial use and supports industry standard cabling and control systems for integration into existing AV infrastructures.
In summary, the AT-HDR-MX1616 delivers dense HDMI input capacity, HDBaseT extension, HDR support, and integrated audio routing for centralized AV deployments. Its combination of long-distance extension, EDID management, and multiple control options reduces system complexity and accelerates deployment. The unit provides a professional solution for distributed 4K HDR signal distribution and zoned audio integration.
