Product Introduction
Media Axis™ is the world’s first large-scale matrix switching and extension system supporting Ultra
HD/4K60 4:4:4 via Native and IP architectures. With its dynamic, proprietary design features and
technologies, Media Axis™ provides a truly adaptive solution that works where and how you need it.
The Media Axis Matrix Switcher supports the following digital interfaces:
✓HDMI v2.0b (w/scaling)
✓12G-SDI (standard scaling)
✓CATx (HDBaseT) (w/scaling)
✓Fiber (w/scaling)
✓IP (10G)
✓Dante™/AES67 (IP audio)
Each Media Axis™ Matrix Switcher Chassis is custom-assembled from field-upgradeable Input/Output
cards:
•The MAX-20 can support a combination of up to (5) I/O cards
•The MAX-36 can support a combination of up to (9) I/O cards
•The MAX-72 can support a combination of up to (18) I/O cards
•The MAX-144 can support a combination of up to (36) I/O cards
•The MAX-216 can support a combination of up to (54) I/O cards
Media Axis™ is the first matrix switcher of its kind to provide both IP and native inputs and outputs in
the same chassis. Any input can be routed to any or all outputs, no matter what the format is. This gives
the end-user ultimate flexibility and room for expansion.
Note: 12G-SDI is not a licensed HDCP interface. If the content received from the HDMI signal is
protected by HDCP, there will be no output from the 12G-SDI card.

Features
Ultra HD/4K
Media Axis™ offers a complete catalog of distribution and extension solutions for 4K/60 4:4:4
connectivity that can be customized for any application. From 4K matrix switcher frames to 4K
extenders, all with TOTALWIRE™ (HDMI, HDBaseT, and Fiber) cabling, Media Axis delivers a more
complete 4K/60 4:4:4 solution than any other provider.
Cross-Platform Switching Technology
Media Axis's advanced Cross-Platform Switching Technology allows interchangeable switching between
any Input signal formats to any Output signal formats. Media Axis™ supports 4K HDMI v2.0, 12G-SDI,
Fiber Optic, CATx (HDBaseT), and IP signal formats with various Input and Output selection.
Available in various I/O sizes from 20x20 to 216x216
Media Axis™ offers a wide range of Input/Output configurations to match various sized installations. A
total of five fame sizes are available: MAX-20X (up to 20x20), MAX-36X (up to 36x36), MAX-72X (up to
72x72), MAX-144X (up to 144x144), and MAX-216X (up to 216x216).
Power Injection
Media Axis™ provides power to the MAX CATx Extenders (Transmitter or Receiver) at the remote
location over the same CATx cable that transmits Audio, Video, and Control. It eliminates the need of
having power connected directly to the MAX CATx Extenders. A single CATx cable for Audio, Video,
Control, and Power simplifies installations.
Note: RPS-1218 power supply sold separately. RPS-1218 injects power to MAX-CI and MAX-CO to
send power to MAX CATx extenders via ethernet cable.
RS-232 +
Media Axis’ RS-232 + simplifies the control and enables a single serial cable connecting the
controller to the Media Axis to also control the system on three separate levels:
1. Media Axis Matrix Switcher
2. Media Axis CATx and Fiber Extenders (both Tx and Rx)
3. Devices attached to Media Axis Extenders (both Tx and Rx)
RS-232 + simplifies control within most systems, increasing reliability while also lowering costs by
removing control design, hardware, and cabling.

Auto-Scaling
The Media Axis™ offers auto-scaling on both the switcher and extender receiver sides, increasing system
design flexibility and switching speed. The Media Axis' HDMI Output Card (MAX-HO), provides auto-
scaling for every Media Axis switcher. The CATx (MAX-CR102) and Fiber (MAX-FR102) Extender
Receivers have built-in auto-scaling, while the 12G-SDI (MAX-FH-12G) Extender Receiver’s auto-scaling is
directly driven by the Media Axis’ HDMI or Fiber Output Cards.
Audio Insertion/Extraction
The Media Axis’ HDMI Input Card (MAX-HI) provides a 3.5mm Stereo Audio Output, enabling easy
extraction of 2-channel PCM Audio from HDMI. Media Axis™ Extender Transmitters and Receivers
provide 3.5mm Stereo Audio Inputs or Outputs as well for the insertion/extraction of 2-channel PCM
Audio.
Audio Matrix
Media Axis I/O Cards offers independent built-in 3.5mm Audio on every I/O port.
Audio Attenuation and Muting
Every Media Axis allows volume attenuation and muting on the Audio Matrix Switcher's Output.
Signal Analyzer
Every Media Axis™ provides built-in comprehensive signal analysis of both incoming and outgoing
signals, via the front panel LCD touch screen or control command. Signal information provided includes
EDID, HDCP, transmission status, and resolution.
18 Gbps Data-Rate Frame
Ensures lossless 4K/60 4:4:4 digital AV signal switching and distribution.
Input Cards directly compatible with MAX Extender Transmitters
MAX CATx/Fiber Input Cards can receive a signal directly from MAX CATx/Fiber Extender Transmitters,
eliminating the need for a matching Receiver.
Output Cards directly compatible with MAX Extenders Receivers
MAX CATx/Fiber Output Cards can send a signal directly to MAX CATx/Fiber Extender Receivers,
eliminating the need for a matching Transmitter.

HDMI v2.0b Support
Adopting the latest HDMI version 2.0b enables Media Axis™ to support UHD (4K x 2K) 60Hz 4:4:4
resolution (optional) and 7.1 Channel Dolby TrueHD & DTS MasterHD
Standard Redundant Power
Every Media Axis™ is equipped with dual redundant power supply as a standard feature.
LCD Touch-Screen Display w/ Security Lock-Out
Every Media Axis™ has a front panel LCD Touch Screen for intuitive operation. Security Lock-Out feature
prevents unauthorized access to the Matrix Switcher. In lock-out mode, a password entered from the
touch screen or special command sent from a controller can disable the lock-out mode.
Auto-EDID (EDID Library, Emulation)
PureLink's EDID library and emulation feature failsafe EDID capture & storage to provide constant and
continuous EDID for source devices.
Modular, Field-upgradeable
Media Axis™ is designed to expand, upgrade, and be reconfigured in the field. The following
components are hot-swappable and field-upgradable: I/O cards, AirLift fan units, MCU, and power
supplies.
Preset
Multiple preset switching commands can be pre-programmed and saved in memory. Presets can be
recalled in the future for easy and timesaving switching.
Fan, Power Supply Monitoring
Media Axis™ provides real-time fan and power supply status on the front panel LCD touch screen.
MAX-Universal Input/Output Cards
MAX Input/Output Cards can be used in any size Media Axis™ frame.
USB Firmware Updatable
