Yes it is a full fledged first generation digital media switcher. The reason it was inexpensive was because it's discontinued, only 1 output and it can't support the 4K DM devices being released. For now though that is alright for my needs especially considering the price.

I have a collection of different 2 series and Ni processors or testing code. I'm going to use my AV2 for control and the Crestron App on my iPad mini.

I'm a certified Crestron programmer and renewing my certification for AMX. The parts are indeed inexpensive if you know what to look for and don't mind gear that is a few years old.

That said I like the 3 series processors a lot because of SIMPL Sharp but I'm not spending thousands on just the processor in my house. :)
