Details

Extron DXP 42 HD 8K (part number 60-1879-01) — a fixed 4x2 HDMI matrix switcher built for next-generation single-room installations.

This switcher routes any of its HDMI sources to any or all of its outputs while extracting audio for separate distribution, letting an integrator combine video switching and audio de-embedding in a single chassis instead of stacking separate boxes. It passes 7680x4320 (8K) at 30 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 sampling video at data rates up to 40.1 Gbps, keeping pace with HDCP 2.3-protected sources and full HD color depth without a transcoder in the signal path.

Key Capabilities

Fixed 4x2 matrix with independent, simultaneous routing to every output
Video bandwidth up to 40.1 Gbps, supporting 7680x4320 (8K) at 30 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 sampling content
Analog stereo audio de-embedding on every output for legacy amplifiers and speakers
HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision pass-through for high-dynamic-range source content
Control via USB-C or Ethernet with Extron SIS commands (no RS-232 port on this model)

Where It Is Used

Built for facilities migrating to 8K and high-frame-rate 4K workflows, this compact switcher fits control rooms, medical imaging suites, and premium huddle spaces where a small number of HDMI 2.1 sources must reach up to two displays without giving up bandwidth headroom.

Specifications at a Glance

Matrix size: 4x2
Max. data rate: 40.1 Gbps
Mounting: half-rack, 1U shelf or optional under-desk mount
