Special Limited-time offer on
AVX-661-NR Systems! With features and functionality
superior to the Model
AVX-562, this
AVAtrix system offers a
truly outstanding value. The differences are
strictly mechanical and cosmetic - the AVX-562 is housed
is a single, black, 2U cabinet whereas this system is
housed in two silver-colored cabinets, with a stacked
rack-mountable height of 3U. And of course, this
system has local DVI functionality, whereas the AVX-562 does
not.
Reseller/Professional Installers:
Inquiries welcome.
This is Audio Authority's AVAtrix Cat 5 HD Matrix
Distribution System,
Model AVX-661-NR, a whole-House Routing System w/ Component
Video, local DVI and both digital and analog audio. This is
Audio Authority's flagship product. If you
consider elegance of design and functionally, you will
be hard-pressed to find any other system that puts such
a rich feature set and operational flexibility into a
single well-integrated modular system. There are
so many features that it may be hard to take it all in -
it may help to read the
1100-Series Brochure
to get an idea of how the various modules work together.
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
of the monitors can select between any of the six sources! 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.
If that is not enough, the system can be expanded to handle up to 36
receiver units by stacking additional Model 1176 six-port Cat-5 Matrix Router Expanders. The system provides an IR pathway from each remote wallplate, making it possible to control the system from multiple locations. In addition, there is also support for a local monitor/audio,
with this model adding local DVI support to the long
list of features offered by the Model
AVX-516-NR.
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.
Receiver units for the Model AVX-661-NR are sold separately - you can select the exact
combination of receiver styles that you prefer below. The standard AVX-661-NR system comes with a 4-port bus
cable, that can accommodate system expansion to as many
as 18 ports. If you plan to expand the system
beyond 18 ports, you will need to add an 802-568 7-port
bus cable.
Like most Audio Authority products, the Model AVX-661-NR comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

General Description
The AVAtrix AVX-661-NR 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 Cat 5 Receiver 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
Cat 5 Receivers
* 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 from Cable Solutions:
While it is certainly appropriate and
convenient to hire an installation specialist,
(as suggested in the next paragraph) the AVAtrix
system is not particularly difficult to install.
The driver unit requires many connections, but
certainly no more than a modern A/V receiver.
As for the receiver units, if you can install a
network jack, then you can just as easily
install an AVAtrix wallplate. We suggest
that you start by reading the
Quick
Start Guide and the
Installation and Operation
Manual, then decide if you can handle the job.
Naturally, if you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact us.]
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-NR is perfectly suited for home use,
restaurant television distribution, digital
signage, even retail demonstrations of HDTV.
