About Kramer Electronics MX-88

Experience the superior performance of the Cobra MX-88 8x8 Twisted Pair Matrix Switcher by Kramer Electronics, a renowned name in high-definition distribution. This advanced switcher is meticulously designed to cater to the needs of both professional video facility installation experts and high-end HDTV home cinema enthusiasts.

The Cobra MX-88 boasts the capacity to seamlessly switch between up to eight twisted pair (RJ-45) inputs to any or all eight twisted pair outputs simultaneously. This feature-rich device is compatible with HDTV signals and supports high-resolution displays up to WUXGA and 1080p, making it a versatile addition to any setup.

Working in harmony with Kramer Electronics' Cobra series transmitters and receivers, the MX-88 offers an impressive system range of up to 1300 feet (400 meters). This makes it an optimal solution for transmitting computer graphics video and HDTV signals over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, such as a standard CAT5 Ethernet network cable.

The robustly built Cobra MX-88 is equipped with a variety of switch control options, including serial RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 control ports via a captive screw block connector and uni-directional RS-232 to 19.2k baud serial data transport. Its high-quality video transport circuitry supports a wide range of signals including RGBHV, RGsB, S-Video, Component, YUV, HDTV, Y/C, NTSC, and PAL (model and configuration dependent).

For added convenience, the front-panel controls feature Enter, Cancel, Store, and Recall buttons. Its compact standalone design can be easily mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack using the optional Cobra DM rack adapter.

Incorporating Kramer Electronics' reliable signal transmission technology, the Cobra MX-88 is an ideal solution for long-distance cable distribution, making it a preferred choice for broadcast studios, presentation and multimedia applications, as well as security and military installations.

Kramer Electronics MX-88 Features

  • Twisted pair (RJ-45) cabling uses 2 conductors (forward and return) that are twisted together in a specific fashion (pitch/twist rate per meter) to cancel out electromagnetic interference and crosstalk (noise) from external sources and its environment
  • This technology enables a system range up to 1300' (400 m) at a maximum resolution up to WUXGA and 1080p HDTV. Note distance, video transport and max. resolution is receiver dependent with additional compatible Cobra receivers/and or transmitters
  • Supports WUXGA and HDTV Signals: Its video transport circuitry supports RGBHV, RGsB, S-Video, Component, YUV, HDTV, Y/C, NTSC, PAL signals, with maximum resolution up to WUXGA and 1080p (receiver dependent)
  • RS-232 Serial Control: Use the RS-232 serial control/command port when installing an external control system; the MX-88 will echo each command character that is received via the RS-232 port
  • I/O Assignment: Input/Output assignment is a breeze with its front panel keypad set-up; assign an input (source) channel to an output (destination) channel with the illuminated key selection, then press the Enter key to update the matrix of the MX-88; it's that simple
  • Large Venue Solution: The MX-88 is an ideal distribution solution for schools, transportation hubs, hospitals, financial institutions, commercial/retail installations, virtually any large venue that requires high-quality, long distance video distribution
