The FLX-44 can be controlled via the front panel, local or remote IR, RS232, Ethernet or via a Web browser and it’s spec’d to support bidirectional wideband IR, which allows the matrix to pass IR signals from the matrix to the display and/or vice versa. Each output supports RS232 tunneling through the HDBaseT extender. RS232 commands to remote displays can also be embedded in the control stream through the matrix from both the RS232 and Ethernet control ports, which will reduce the number of serial ports required for the control system. The extensive variety of control options makes the FLX-44 an easily accessible and extremely flexible matrix for any control system.
Each output of the iU rack-mountable FLX-44 also features analog audio outputs to feed the audio stream to audio amplifiers or DSPs. Each input of the matrix has the ability to have the HDCP compliance flag turned off, which will allow a non-HDCP encrypted signal to pass clearly to a video conferencing system.
