Linx Prime CrossXFormat Switcher with HDCP

Linx Prime CrossXFormat switchers support a wide range of modular input and output cards. Unlike other switchers that accept multiple signal types but can only route "like-to-like" signals, Linx Prime switchers accept multiple input formats and convert them to DVI. They also offer copper-to-optical and optical-to-copper conversion, requiring only a single strand of fiber for video plus real time EDID. All DVI-capable cards are HDCP compliant.

Linx Prime switchers can be configured with a mix of input and output card types to match system requirements. Inputs include DVI/HDMI, DVI over fiber, analog RGB, YPbPr or HD/3G-SDI signals. Outputs are DVI/HDMI, with or without scaling: and DVI over fiber. Scalers match output signals to particular monitors and allow synchronization of outputs. This offers optimal resolution when routing a signal to multiple display devices of differing resolutions as well as enabling seamless switching.

Additional features include HDCP Extended Mode, which allows routing of an HDCP compliant source to as many as 32 display devices; a Java based GUI, color space conversion and additional pin power on outputs. Dual Link DVI support is also available.

Linx Prime is available in three frame sizes: 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32. With their modular architecture, the mix of cards can be easily changed and a short loaded frame can be expanded over time. Cards and power supplies are user swappable and require no special tools for installation.

Linx Prime provides the user with unprecedented flexibility and a foundation for future development to address the ever evolving requirements of video display systems.
