Multi-Format Switchers with Scaling and HDCP

RGB Spectrum's new Linx™ Prime switchers offer built in scaling with HDCP compliance. Users can choose from a variety of analog and digital inputs, which are converted and scaled as required to DVI/HDMI® outputs.

Scaling is valuable in a number of ways: it resolves EDID compatibility issues between multiple display devices, it allows both legacy and unusual signal sources to be displayed on today's high-resolution devices, and it provides seamless switching.

Though scaling is common in single output presentation switchers, RGB Spectrum is among the first to offer HDCP compliant scaling in a matrix switcher. With the Linx Prime's mix-and-match architecture, each unit can be custom configured with just the required number of each I/O card type. Short loaded frames are field-upgradable. Linx Prime switchers are HDMI® certified and offer full HDCP compliance over both copper and fiber. Users can select from a mix of input signal types including DVI, HDMI®, HD/3G-SDI, RGB, YUV and DVI/HDMI® over fiber.

Any incoming analog or digital signal can be routed to any output. The full range of DVI-compliant signal resolutions are supported at up to 2048x1156, 1900x1200, and 1080p for single link and up to 3840x2400 for dual link. Embedded audio in HDMI® signals up to 7.1 is also supported.

Linx Prime comprises three frame sizes: 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32. Cards and power supplies are user swappable and require no special tools for installation.
