AMX DVX-2255HD-T - 6x3 All-In-One Presentation Switchers with NX Control and 70/100V Amplifier in Black Finish

The AMX Enova DVX-2255HD-T 6x3 All-In-One Presentation Switcher is a robust, all-in-one audio, video, and control solution designed to streamline and simplify the integration of AV systems in large and complex environments such as conference rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums. This 3U rackmount unit consolidates multiple components - matrix switching, video scaling, analog-to-digital conversion, audio processing, and amplification - into a single, space-saving chassis, reducing the need for separate equipment and minimizing integration challenges. The DVX-2255HD-T offers flexible support for both analog and digital video signals, along with advanced audio processing and a 70/100V amplifier, ensuring high-quality AV performance throughout the entire room.

At the heart of the DVX-2255HD-T is the next-generation NetLinx Integrated Controller, the NX-Series. This scalable platform integrates high performance with backward compatibility, providing a reliable foundation for future growth. Extensive network security features, such as dual NICs, IPv6 support, and wired 802.1X authentication, ensure the system operates securely in any network environment, protecting sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access.

For video, the DVX-2255HD-T features six multi-format video inputs, including two DVI-I ports (supporting HDMI/HDCP, DVI, RGB, S-Video, Composite, and Component), two HDMI ports, and two DXLink inputs. These inputs allow for seamless integration with a wide range of video sources, ensuring compatibility with both legacy equipment and modern digital devices. The switcher offers 6x3 matrix video switching, allowing any of the six inputs to be routed to any of the three outputs. The DVX-2255HD-T supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, with full HDCP support, and provides exceptional image quality through its SmartScale technology, which automatically adjusts the video signal to the optimal resolution for each connected display, eliminating the need for external scalers.

The DVX-2255HD-T's professional-grade audio capabilities are powered by a sophisticated DSP that ensures clear, high-quality sound in every corner of the room. The integrated 10-band parametric equalizer, independent input gain adjustments, and variable compression provide precise control over audio quality, while the system's three independently processed audio paths allow for up to four unique audio output mixes. This makes it ideal for applications that require complex audio routing and fine-tuning, such as audio/video conferencing, voice reinforcement, and integration with induction loop systems or audio recording devices.

One of the key features of the DVX-2255HD-T is its ability to perform audio breakaway. This feature allows stereo audio from any input - whether analog or de-embedded from HDMI - to be broken away from its associated video and routed independently to HDMI, analog, or S/PDIF outputs. Additionally, the audio matrix switching system supports full customization, allowing users to configure volume, EQ, ducking, sync delay, and mixing for each output path. Enhanced microphone processing, with independent EQ, compression, gating, and auto-ducking for each mic input, ensures crystal-clear communication in environments with multiple speakers or audio sources.

The DVX-2255HD-T also offers a robust amplifier section, with a 70V/100V mono amplifier capable of driving long speaker runs in large spaces. The amplifier delivers 75W of power, ensuring reliable and consistent audio coverage across the room. With the ability to choose between mono or stereo amplification, this unit can accommodate various speaker configurations and provide high-quality sound to suit the specific needs of the space. Whether used for direct amplification or as part of a larger audio system, the DVX-2255HD-T delivers exceptional sound quality with low power consumption.

Designed for simplicity and reliability, the DVX-2255HD-T features an HTML5 web interface for easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This eliminates the need for proprietary software and simplifies system setup, making it ideal for environments where ease of use is a priority. The integrated diagnostics and status indicators provide real-time feedback for quick issue resolution, while the system's energy-efficient design helps reduce operating costs over time.
