ZyPer4K “Challenge what you know about video distribution,” says ZeeVee as it launches ZyPer4K.

ZyPer4K supports distribution of Ultra HD, uncompressed video, audio and other data signals using off-the-shelf 10Gb Ethernet switching technology with ZyPer4K transmitter and receiver modules. 

ZyPer4K can also be used in a point-to-point configuration to transmit a 4K video source across a dedicated fiber connection to a display up to 30km away.

ZyPer4K can distribute HDMI sources connected into an off-the-shelf 10Gb Ethernet switch to an almost infinite number of displays using either single-mode or multi-mode fiber.

Other features:

  • Supports stereo and embedded audio channels up to 7.1 channels
  • 1GbE network port exposed on all transmitters and receivers
  • Source and display control (Infrared and RS232)
  • HDCP v1.x and v2.x compliant
  • API for system control/monitoring using either ZeeVee management platform or 3rd party control systems or applications (AMX, Crestron, iOS, Android)

Applications include: 

  • Digital signage content distribution for Public Information Displays, Way-finding or advertising
  • High-end graphic requirements in simulation centers, command and control, and graphic studios
  • In-room guest/patient entertainment systems
  • Broadcast facilities
  • Live event video distribution (stadiums, concert halls)

Extron Ships New 4K Distribution Amplifiers for DTP Systems

  • PDF

Extron Electronics announces immediate availability of four DTP twisted pair distribution amplifiers – two DTP HD DA 4K 230 models and two DTP HD DA 4K 330 models.Extron DTP HD DA

These 4K distribution amplifiers provide one HDMI input with loop-through, and either four or eight DTP outputs. Each twisted pair output sends HDMI, audio, and control over shielded CATx cable to Extron DTP-enabled products. 

The DTP HD DA 4K 230 models extend these signals up to 230 feet (70m); and the DTP HD DA 4K 330 models extend signals up to 330 feet (100m). 

All models also accept analog stereo audio signals for simultaneous transmission over the same shielded CATx cable. They support video signals at resolutions up to 4K, including 1080p/60 Deep Color. The DTP HD DA 4K offers bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-through at each DTP output, plus system level RS-232 device control via Ethernet insertion. It features remote powering of DTP receivers, EDID Minder, Key Minder, selectable output muting, and compatibility with HDBaseT-enabled devices.

Casey Hall, VP Sales and Marketing for Extron, says "They are ideal for accommodating presentation overflow rooms, digital signage, and a range of other multi-display applications."

The DTP HD DA 4K offers several integrator-friendly features such as an HDMI input loop-through for local monitor support or system expansion, and the ability to independently mute each twisted pair output. 

It also features automatic input equalization which conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss over long input cables. Automatic color bit depth management based on the display EDID prevents color compatibility conflicts between the source and display.  

To streamline installation, the DTP HD DA 4K can send power to each of the four or eight DTP receivers over the shielded twisted pair cable. It offers convenient options for remote control, including Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 for easy integration into a variety of environments. 

Configuration of the DTP HD DA 4K is made simple via Extron’s PCS (Product Configuration Software), which allows for expedited setup and EDID management.

The DTP HD DA 4K can be integrated with Extron switchers, scalers, or other DTP-enabled products to provide multiple, simultaneous outputs for signage and presentation overflow room applications. 

For additional integration convenience, each twisted pair output can be configured for compatibility with HDBaseT-enabled displays to send digital video and embedded audio, plus bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals over shielded CATx cable.

AdderLink Infinity

Adder Technology will unveil three new IP-based KVM products at InfoComm 2014: the AdderLink Infinity 1002, AdderLink XDVI-PRO DL and the AdderLink CCS4 PRO.

AdderLink Infinity 1002 is a high performance digital KVM and USB 2.0 extender with 1920x1200 resolution at 60Hz and a new fiber port offering redundancy which can be easily deployed over an IP-based network (allows a user and computer to be separated by almost any distance without loss in capabilities, reduction in video resolution or quality).

AdderLink X-DVI PRO DL is a high performance KVM extender that enables you to locate your critical computing hardware in a secure and temperature controlled environment away from the user work station, while maintaining the same user experience. It can transmit a dual link video stream, USB 2.0 and analog audio over a single CATx cable (making it ideal for the digital signage market).

Summit X440 Series

AVnu Alliance announces the first AVnu-certified AVB series of switches from Extreme Networks: the Extreme Networks Summit X440 Series of stackable switches has passed all testing for certification and will now bear the AVnu-certified Logo.

Extreme Networks' AVB Summit X440 Series is a stackable switch that extends the benefits of the ExtremeXOS operating system to intelligent, affordable, edge switching for professional audio/video applications, where data, audio and video co-exist on a single standards-based network.

IT managers and AV integrators benefit from simplified deployments, enhanced quality of service and reduced costs from a converged network.

The Summit X440 Series Switch was demonstrated in the AVnu Alliance Pavilion at ISE 2014.
