The AVAtrix AVX-661 provides DVI (or HDMI with adapter) and component video connection of sources, and distributes HD signals up to 1,000 feet away to convenient Wallplates mounted wherever televisions are to be located. The package is also available as a AVX-561 at a lower cost using the 1156 component video (YPbPr) switcher rather than more expense 1166 DVI/YPbPr model. This is the only difference between these two Home Theatre Routing packages.

The local DVI output offers native DVI video up to 1080p (or HDMI with adapter) and converted component video content from the analog component video inputs. This feature allows you to easily integrate component video and DVI sources so that you don't have to switch TV inputs; both analog and digital sources are available on the local AVAtrix DVI output.

The AVAtrix is perfect for sending your favorite media from a central location to anywhere around your home. Simply plug your sources (CableBox, DVD, Satellite Box, Tivo/DVR, etc) into the AVAtrix, run the Cat 5 cables to rooms where you want to watch TV, connect the Wallplates, and select what you'd like to watch. It keeps electronic clutter out of sight while delivering pristine High Definition anywhere you want it.

This technology provides a simpler, headache-free installation. Two Cat 5 cables replace six coaxial cable runs, providing HD video, audio and an IR pathway for source control. Balanced line technology allows longer cable runs and superior noise rejection for excellent picture quality.
