players, HDTV receivers, media servers, game consoles, multimedia
computers, surround processors and high-def displays. The HD-MD8X2
model features eight HDMI inputs, and two independently switchable HDMI
outputs to feed two separate displays, or to support a single display that
has built-in PIP capability.
HDMI is the standard for interfacing high-definition AV equipment, and it
is key to handling the latest HD video and audio formats. As the leader in
HDMI and control system technologies, Crestron has designed its
QuickSwitch HD switchers to provide unparalleled performance,
functionality, and custom integration capability. The HD-MD8X2 supports
HDMI with HDCP, Deep Color and 3D, handling 1080p60 HD video and
WUXGA computer resolutions, and multi-channel HD lossless audio.

Technology
Handling high-definition digital media means handling HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the encryption scheme that content
providers use to protect their DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and broadcast signals
against unauthorized copying. Viewing HDCP encrypted content requires
a source device to “authenticate” each display and signal processor in
the system and issue each one a “key” before the content can be viewed.
Ordinarily this causes a complete loss of signal for up to 15 seconds each
time a new source or display is selected anywhere in the system. To make
matters worse, every source device has a limited number of keys
available, so connect too many displays and the source will simply stop
outputting a signal without warning.
Not to worry — Crestron QuickSwitch HD manages the keys for every
HDCP-compliant device in the system, maintaining continuous
authentication for each device to ensure fast, reliable routing switching.
EDID Format Management
With HDMI comes a multitude of confusing video and audio formats to
keep track of, and chances are not every device in your system
supports all of the same formats. Such conflicts can wreak havoc any
time you route one source to more than one display or audio component.
For instance, the Blu-ray player that’s feeding your 1080p projector may
restrict itself to a lower resolution, or even shut off completely, if you try to
view the same signal on a lower resolution display at the same time. And,
instead of enjoying 7.1 surround sound from your main audio system, you
may find yourself limited to 5.1 or even plain old stereo.
The HD-MD8X2 eliminates such conflicts by managing the EDID (Extended
Display Identification Data) that the devices use to communicate their
capabilities. Via Crestron Toolbox
™
software, the format and resolution
capabilities of each device can be assessed, allowing the installer to
configure EDID signals appropriately for the most desirable and predictable
behavior. Signal information such as resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio,
color depth, and audio format can also be sent to the control system and
displayed on a touch screen to allow custom functionality and
enhanced diagnostics.
High-Definition Scaler Option
High-performance scaling capability can be added to the HD-MD8X2 using
the optional HD-SCALER
[1]
. The HD-SCALER features fully automatic
operation and is compact enough to install right at the display location,
ensuring an optimal image no matter what source is selected. It also
provides analog video and audio inputs to accommodate additional
analog sources.
