This is the Audio Authority model AVX-661 AVAtrix Whole-House Routing System
w/Component Video and local DVI.
Audio Authority has combined their highly-respected electronic switching
technology with a CAT-5 distribution system to create an amazingly flexible
routing system. The system makes it simple to distribute high-definition
component video at up to 1080p, as well as digital audio, stereo audio, and IR.
Any monitor can select between any of six sources! If that is not enough,
the system can be expanded to handle up to 36 wallplates. Watch and listen
to the same source at all remote locations, or watch/listen to any mix of the
six sources at each remote location.
In addition, there is also support for a local monitor/audio. Compared
to the AVX-561-NR, the AVX-661-NR adds local DVI video
switching, in addition to component video and analog/digital audio, but keep in
mind that the DVI inputs are not converted to component video, and are not
distributed to the remote monitors.
The system provides an IR pathway from each remote wallplate, making it possible
to control the system from multiple locations.
The CAT-5 driver system can transmit video and audio up to 1000 feet without
any frequency roll-off or signal attenuation, so colors and details are
faithfully preserved for your maximum enjoyment.

General Description
The AVAtrix AVX-661 provides DVI (or HDMI with adapter) and component
video connection of sources, and distributes HD signals up to 1,000 feet
away to convenient Wallplates mounted wherever televisions are to be
located.
The local DVI output offers native DVI video up to 1080p (or HDMI with
adapter) and converted component video content from the analog component
video inputs. This feature allows you to easily integrate component
video and DVI sources so that you don't have to switch TV inputs; both
analog and digital sources are available on the local AVAtrix DVI
output.
- 6-in x 7-out matrix router; any of six sources may be routed to any
remote output, or the local output
- Local DVI output also delivers converted content from component video
inputs (analog YPbPr is converted to digital DVI-D)
- System is expandable up to 36 remote Wallplate outputs
- Resolutions: Any, up to 1080p
- Maximum Distribution Range: 1,000 feet over Cat 5e
Source Inputs (up to six)
- Component video
- Digital audio (coaxial and optical)
- Analog stereo audio
Audio and Video Outputs
- Local Output: DVI, component video, digital audio (coaxial and optical)
and analog stereo audio
- Six Wallplate outputs (two Cat 5 cables each) for matrix distribution to
remote Wallplate/receivers
-
Choice of three wallplate
styles that feature component video, digital coaxial
audio, stereo analog audio, and 3.5mm minijack connection for IR
control signals
* This system is compatible with consumer DVI sources and displays. It
is not compatible with the digital DVI output from a PC.
Homeowners - The AVAtrix is perfect for sending your favorite media from
a central location to anywhere around your home. Simply plug your
sources into the AVAtrix, run the Cat 5 cables to where you want to
watch TV, connect the Wallplates, and select what you'd like to watch.
It keeps electronic clutter out of sight while delivering pristine high
definition anywhere you want it. Note: While the AVAtrix is ideal for
new construction or an existing home, it does require special knowledge
and tools to install. We suggest you contact a local custom home
installation specialist. Many installation specialists are members of
the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association and can be
located through the CEDIA website.
Integrators - This is your ticket to quicker, simpler, headache-free
installations. Two Cat 5 cables are all you need - they do the work of
six coaxial cable runs plus provide an IR pathway for source control.
Balanced line technology allows for superior noise rejection and
excellent picture quality. The AVX-661 is perfectly suited for home use,
restaurant television distribution, digital signage, even retail
demonstrations of HDTV.
