Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810

The Atlona AT-PRO5-MX810 is a rack-mount 8×10 matrix switcher designed for large-scale commercial AV distribution — lecture halls, divisible conference rooms, courtrooms, sports-bar video walls, houses of worship, and multi-zone retail or hospitality venues. It accepts eight HDMI sources and routes them to two local HDMI outputs and eight SDVoE extension outputs, each capable of driving a separate PRO5 Series receiver over CAT6a copper (up to 100 m with PoE for the receiver) or fiber optic cable (38 m to 10 km via an optional SFP+ module). Part of Atlona's PRO5 Series, the switcher is HDCP 2.3 compliant, supports 4K60 4:4:4 HDR, and combines an independent audio matrix, comprehensive CEC display control, and deep integration with the Atlona Velocity control platform.

SDVoE 10GbE: Copper or Fiber per Output

Each of the eight SDVoE extension outputs carries its own RJ45 port and SFP+ cage, so cable type is chosen per output rather than system-wide. Over CAT6a UTP the reach is 330 ft (100 m) with IEEE 802.3af PoE delivered to the connected receiver — no local power brick needed at the endpoint. Swapping in a compatible SFP+ fiber module (sold separately) extends reach from 38 m up to 10 km, which is practical wherever a facility already has dark fiber in conduit between buildings or floors. Signals carried include video, embedded audio, Gigabit Ethernet, and bidirectional RS-232 and IR — everything the remote display needs over a single cable run. Note: copper and fiber cannot be active simultaneously on the same output.

True 4K60 4:4:4 HDR — HDCP 2.3 Throughout

The AT-PRO5-MX810 handles HDMI data rates up to 18 Gbps and passes 4K60 content at full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling — the format that matters for sharp text rendering on presentation displays and confidence monitors. HDR formats covered include HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, ensuring compatibility with current and near-future display panels. HDCP compliance is implemented at version 2.3, the latest standard, while also being backward compatible with 1.4 and 2.2. Importantly, HDCP enforcement can be selectively disengaged via API, RS-232, or the web GUI to allow unprotected computer signals to pass to non-compliant displays or capture devices — a practical feature in classrooms and conference rooms where PCs routinely connect alongside licensed content sources.

8 sources. 10 zones. Copper or fiber — your choice.

Independent Audio Matrix with Balanced Outputs

Beyond video switching, the PRO5-MX810 operates a fully independent audio matrix: HDMI audio can be de-embedded and routed to any of the eight balanced analog stereo outputs, completely independently of the video routing. Volume and mute are individually adjustable for each analog output on the matrix, and for each connected receiver (up to 16 stereo channels total). This makes it straightforward to feed a separate multi-zone audio system or a mixed AV-plus-audio infrastructure without an external audio matrix. Pass-through supports the full range of HDMI audio formats including LPCM 7.1, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X — so Blu-ray and streaming sources reach displays and audio systems at full quality.

Video Wall and 4K Scaling via PRO5-101-SC-RX

When paired with the separately available AT-PRO5-101-SC-RX scaling receiver, the system gains 4K upscaling and downscaling with frame rate conversion, aspect ratio control, and motion-adaptive deinterlacing for 1080i sources. Video wall processing supports 2×2, 1×3, and 2×4 configurations — directly applicable to sports-bar, student center, lobby, and retail display arrays. Ten preset configurations can be saved and recalled, enabling instant layout changes in divisible rooms or multi-event venues. This processing is at the receiver rather than the matrix, which means individual zones can be scaled independently, giving integrators per-zone flexibility without additional hardware.

Per-Output CEC Display Control

The matrix sends CEC power on/off and volume commands independently to each SDVoE extension output and each local HDMI output. CEC behaviour per output can be individually customised to match the connected display's command set — important because CEC implementation varies significantly between manufacturers. Control can be set to trigger automatically when a source signal appears or disappears at that output, or manually via IP or RS-232. In practice this means displays in unattended zones power down when there is no active source, reducing energy use and screen wear without requiring a dedicated control processor to manage each display individually.

EDID Management and HDMI Signal Regeneration

The switcher actively manages EDID communication between sources, the matrix, and displays — allowing integrators to lock a source to a specific resolution and audio format regardless of which display is connected downstream. Custom EDIDs can be uploaded and edited directly in the web GUI. The matrix also regenerates the HDMI clock, which resolves compatibility problems with legacy sources (such as cable TV set-top boxes) that do not support the HDMI clock stretching protocol but are regularly found alongside newer displays in commercial installations. HDCP compliance status is automatically reported back to the source based on the downstream sink, and a green splash screen gives a clear visual indicator when protected content is blocked from reaching a non-compliant display.

Velocity-Ready with Flexible Third-Party Control

The AT-PRO5-MX810 integrates natively with Atlona's Velocity AV control platform for centralised device management, firmware updates, and room automation. Control is also available via Telnet, SSH, HTTP/HTTPS API, and RS-232, ensuring compatibility with Crestron, Extron, AMX, and other third-party control systems. IR control of source devices from each remote receiver location is supported bidirectionally, so a user at a distant display can switch inputs or control a source as if sitting at the rack. Firmware can be updated over the network through the web GUI or Velocity Device Manager — useful for multi-unit deployments where on-site visits for firmware maintenance are costly.
