Kramer launches MTX3-88-PR-PRO for advanced AV switching
Kramer has introduced the MTX3-88-PR-PRO all-in-one Pro Matrix system, designed for video processing and switching in both corporate and educational environments.
The MTX3-88-PR-PRO is now available globally, offering a range of features aimed at enhancing presentation quality and reliability. The system supports audio-visual and USB content management, delivering content with near-zero latency and clean switching for varied installation settings, including corporate offices, universities, and government buildings.
The unit is part of Kramer's Series 3 audio visual signal management (AVSM) portfolio and is intended to offer an integrated solution for professionals managing complex AV needs. Kramer stated that the MTX3-88-PR-PRO was designed to increase rack efficiency, minimise installation challenges and reduce the volume of cabling required.
The MTX3-88-PR-PRO delivers near-latency-free scaler-based clean switching, with transition times of less than one second, enabling uninterrupted content display during meetings and presentations. This feature is supported by multi-view and video-wall capabilities that allow users to present content from multiple sources on individual screens. The system includes configurable layouts, which can be amended on-the-fly or saved as presets for future use.
The product is suitable for environments where bring-your-own-device (BYOD) connectivity is a priority, with particular attention paid to educational institutions. The MTX3-88-PR-PRO incorporates dual USB device groups, which facilitate the seamless connection of DisplayPort Alternate Mode USB-C devices, supporting both local and extended USB host or device configurations.
Audio support is delivered via Dante interfaces and an integrated DSP, allowing for local mixing and distribution across multiple zones, in addition to a built-in amplifier. The unit also offers IP-based control capabilities, as well as AV streaming and recording, and incorporates features for enterprise-level IT networking and security.
On the connectivity front, the MTX3-88-PR-PRO is equipped with eight USB-C, HDMI, and air-casting inputs. The first two inputs also provide optional USB-C ports supporting multi-stream transport. There are eight interchangeable HDBaseT 3.0 input or output ports, eight HDMI outputs, and a streaming output supporting the H.264 and H.265 protocols.
Kramer emphasised that the device is compatible with the complete Series 3 range and can interface directly with Kramer's EXT3 and SWT3 equipment through HDBT3.0, removing the need for third-party integration. This compatibility is intended to provide greater flexibility and operational efficiency for various scales of installation - from small meeting rooms to large, multi-purpose venues.
The Series 3 AVSM portfolio is tailored for diverse and changing AV infrastructures, aiming to deliver reliable and easily integrated options for professionals. Dorit Bitter, EVP Product & Technology at Kramer, commented: "A landmark product, the MTX3-88-PR-PRO offers a high-performing all-in-one solution for meeting rooms and other presentation spaces of all sizes and levels of complexity. "It's a big world, and we're making it smaller every day through robust, reliable technology that can handle the most intricate installations while being simple to operate for every participant."
The MTX3-88-PR-PRO is now available to Kramer's partners and customers worldwide as part of the company's ongoing efforts to address the operational demands of modern collaborative and presentation spaces.
