AMX VPX-1701 - 7x1+1 4K60 Scaling Presentation Switcher with 5 HDMI Inputs and 2 VGA Inputs in Black Finish

The AMX SDX-514M-DX is a powerful 7x1+1 multi-format scaling presentation switcher designed for use in various professional environments, including conference rooms and classrooms. The device features 7 input sources - 5 HDMI and 2 VGA - making it ideal for scenarios where multiple video devices, including legacy analog sources, need to be switched and displayed in high-quality 4K60 resolution. The SDX-514M-DX supports full 4K60 4:4:4 video and is compatible with the latest HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern AV sources and displays. With built-in video scaling, the switcher automatically adjusts the input video to match the optimal resolution for the connected display, ensuring a seamless viewing experience.

In addition to its HDMI and VGA inputs, the SDX-514M-DX features a mirrored HDBaseT output, which allows users to transmit video, audio, control, and power over a single shielded Cat6A or Cat7 twisted pair cable. This functionality is ideal for point-to-point installations with compatible receiving devices like the DXLink 4K HDMI Receiver Module. Additionally, the HDBaseT output supports USB 2.0 pass-through, enabling the connection of peripherals such as web cameras or microphones, making it an excellent solution for collaborative environments. The switcher also provides audio extraction with volume control, offering a way to route the audio to powered speakers or an amplified soundbar for enhanced audio output.

Designed for ease of use, the SDX-514M-DX offers multiple control options. It features simple front panel push buttons for quick source switching, and it also supports contact closure for integration with source selector buttons. The device is NetLinx Native, which makes it easy to integrate into AMX automation systems, while its open control API ensures compatibility with third-party control systems and simplifies integration into larger AV ecosystems. The SDX-514M-DX is also compatible with AMX HydraPort modules, enabling streamlined installation and control in modern AV setups.

With its combination of flexibility, simplicity, and high-performance video management, the AMX SDX-514M-DX is an ideal solution for installations that require seamless switching and distribution of 4K video signals in compact spaces.
