Extron has introduced the IN1804, a series of four-input scalers that support HDMI 2.0b data rates up to 18 Gbps and incorporate Vector 4K scaling engine with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and 30-bit internal video processing.
Offering features including switching effects, logo keying, still image recall, and optional twisted pair input/output capability.
Two available IN1804 models provide signal extension over shielded twisted pair cable. The IN1804 DI includes a DTP2 twisted pair input that can receive signals from remote DTP and DTP2 transmitters mounted at a conference table, lectern or wall. The IN1804 DO has a DTP2 twisted pair output that can send signals to a DTP or DTP2 receiver mounted behind a flat panel display, above a ceiling mounted projector, or in other remote locations.
DTP transmitters and receivers are available in low-profile enclosures, plus wallplate and floorbox form factors to suit a range of professional environments.
In addition to supporting DTP endpoints, the IN1804 DI and IN1804 DO can be integrated into an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher system. This is suitable for facility-wide AV system applications with a centralised AV signal distribution infrastructure, as well as several presentation spaces with local AV switching and processing.
An IN1804 DI in a room can connect into an XTP CrossPoint matrix switcher in a central equipment rack or closet to receive shared AV resources, or a connected IN1804 DO can distribute a local presentation to several destinations in a facility.
