Signal Switching and Routing
When it comes to delivering AV signals from multiple sources over long distances to multiple video displays, the traditional matrix switcher has evolved to accommodate 4K HDR, HDMI, and HDCP 2.2 content protection.
Products in this category are finding new ways to enhance the traditional capabilities of the matrix switcher, while also offering alternatives in the form of AV-over-IP solutions and even blended technologies that allow for a gradual transition from one technology to another.
AV over IP (AVoIP) now brings AV onto the same single platform with IT networks. Multiple display products require signals to travel over long distances without loss of quality signal strength. Mixing various devices/sources to output onto single or multiple screens also requires matrix switching.
Customers across all verticals have been looking for ways to bring together a variety of distributed sources and then switch them to single or multiple different outputs that could also be distributed far away from the switch. So, to complement HDBaseT and fibre solutions,
AVoIP with a network switch where decoders are placed at each source, wherever they are located, while decoders or multiviewers can be placed directly at the display. The user interface can be accessed via any web browser, allowing the operator to be located anywhere and have full access to the entire system.
ACT is at the forefront of technology to ensure that signal quality is maintained from the source to the display device…enabling seamless switching/interfacing of sources and displays—distance notwithstanding.
HALL and WYRESTORM offer a full range of signal distribution that includes 4k quality devices.
