Description
AMX SDX-514M-DX Solecis 5x1 4K Multi-Format Digital Switcher with DXLink Output
The AMX SDX-514M-DX is a professional-grade digital switcher designed for multi-room recording studios, post-production suites, and networked audio/video facilities where source routing and 4K distribution demand reliable, low-latency switching. Its compact footprint integrates seamlessly into mobile rigs and permanent studio setups, handling five independent inputs without workflow interruption.
Video & Audio Processing
This switcher manages five inputs—three HDMI and two VGA with embedded audio—and routes them through built-in scaling that supports full 4K60 4:4:4 resolution, as well as cinema 4096 x 2160p formats at 24/25/30 Hz and 4:2:0 at 60 Hz. Audio processing includes Dolby TrueHD support, ensuring lossless surround content passes through uncompressed during recording and monitoring sessions.
Studio Routing & Remote Integration
Dual outputs provide an HDMI feed and a DXLink mirroring output that transmits video and control over shielded Ethernet cabling up to 100 meters, enabling distributed monitoring across isolated recording rooms or breakout spaces without signal degradation. USB Type B connectivity integrates with DAW control surfaces and studio automation systems for centralized session management.
