RGB Spectrum Introduces the QuadView HD

May 14, 2008, Alameda, CA - RGB Spectrum introduces the QuadView® HD, a new type of intelligent display processor for applications requiring the display of multiple images on a single monitor or projector.

The QuadView HD offers the most powerful image processing available in a multi-viewer, with outstanding image quality, a web based control, dynamic window sizing, borders and titling, smooth zoom/pans and more. RGB Spectrum introduced the first QuadView multiviewer in the industry almost ten years ago. The concept of displaying four graphics and video signals simultaneously on a video screen has won significant traction in the industry. The new QuadView HD far exceeds the capabilities and image quality of our previous systems - and that of our competitors.

The QuadView HD accepts high resolution DVI, RGB, HDTV, S-Video, component and NTSC/PAL composite video. Up to twenty-four sources can be connected, any four of which can be displayed simultaneously. The QuadView HD offers the highest quality graphics and HDTV rendition, with state-of-the-art deinterlacing and scaling. Picture quality sets a new standard for the industry.

An agile video switcher accepts up to sixteen video inputs, user configurable as sixteen composite, eight S-Video or five component video inputs, in any combination. Up to sixteen video inputs can be cycled through a single window with user selected timing.

The QuadView HD supports real time, dynamic movement and resizing of windows. Each input can be scaled and positioned anywhere on the screen, as well as panned and zoomed to emphasize areas of interest. Display alternatives are virtually infinite, and include quad split, side-by-side, picture-in-picture, and overlapping windows. User-selectable output resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200p and up to 2048 x 1080p ensure a perfect match with any display. With DVI inputs and outputs, a completely digital signal path can be maintained from signal source to display.

Two exciting new options are offered. The Background Video Option includes a package of capabilities, including an on-screen-digital clock, logo or other foreground graphic, a live background or static backgrounds loaded over the Ethernet. A second option offers KVM capability to provide control of any computer or network controllable device displayed. Best yet, KvM™ is RGB Spectrum's patent pending implementation of traditional KVM, with full bandwidth video directly connected to the processor; only control signals are passed over the network. This implementation guarantees real time video performance, unavailable in other systems.

All functions are easily set up and controlled using a command line interface from either the USB or Ethernet ports, or graphically via a standard web-browser.

Built on RGB Spectrum's long tradition of quality and reliability, the QuadView HD is an excellent solution for all multimedia display, including the most demanding mission critical applications. And, it's available in a space saving 1 RU enclosure.
