Simply stated, the AVPro Edge AC-MX-88X is a classic transformed into an icon. Our engineers focused on reimagining the venerable AC-MX-88, boosting bandwidth to an ultrawide 40Gbps with 8K input and output stages, for a world-first, Next-Gen 8 input / 8 output matrix switching platform providing a foundation for all possibilities that follow. “X ” marks the spot for high performance that is unmistakably AVPro Edge, as we once again redefine the face of the HDMI switching era. Gaming enthusiasts, rejoice – multiple inputs for multiple consoles! Select Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, or your Alienware Aurora Ryzen by control system or from the supplied IR remote and leave the cable juggling to Cirque du Soleil.  The AC-MX-88X, designed with the needs of Next-Gen users in mind, prepares your clients for tomorrow’s over-the-near-horizon signals, while ultrawide bandwidth supplies sure-footed dynamic headroom for hiccup-free performance with HDMI 2.1a devices. With the unmatched pedigree of AVPro Edge behind it tradition never fails, as the AC-MX-88X lets you break convention and seek perfection. 
 
NOTE TO DESIGNERS, INSTALLERS, AND TECHNICIANS
When used with an AVR or a Pre-processor as an HDMI video bypass around outdated onboard AVR or Pre-processor HDMI video signal technology, especially when introducing a Next-Gen video display into a system while retaining an existing AVR or Pre-processor that remains compatible with current immersive audio codec reproduction, the following must be noted: When the main HDMI video display output of the bypassed AVR or Pre-processor is left untethered to an EDID-producing device, the AVR or Pre-processor has no means for EDID negotiation or authentication. As a result, source devices fail to detect an active EDID-managed HDMI path. An AVR or Pre-processor may not fully activate or switch to the desired input for audio capture if no active output is detected or fails to enable proper input signal processing.
BEST PRACTICE is for the AVR or Pre-processor to terminate into a device that produces an active EDID, which serves to “trick” the AVR or Pre-processor into continuing to function as designed (with a video signal and multi-channel audio selected at one of its inputs, expected to transfer the video signal to a display device with EDID authentication). An AVPro Edge AC-SC-1X or AC-DA12-AUHD-GEN2 with EDID management is ideal for overcoming this anomaly as both have EDID management capabilities; however, any device capable of producing an EDID compatible with maintaining the AVR’s or Pre-processor’s stability may be utilized.
