Press Release

RGB Spectrum, the leader in videographic processing technology, today announced that it has expanded the capabilities of its industry leading video walls and multiviewers, including the MediaWall® 4500, 4200 and SuperView® 5000 products, through the immediately available HD/3G-SDI Input Module. This new dual interface module opens up display capabilities for television broadcast and medical sources as well as serial digital graphic networks. HD-SDI and 3G-SDI are predominant standards for digital signal transmission in many domestic and international markets.

The HD/3G-SDI Dual Input Module complies with the SMPTE 292 interface standard. The module currently supports a maximum link rate of up to 3.0Gb/s. Through the use of standard YPbPr, 4:2:2 color space and 8 bit per component sampling, this new input module addresses a wide variety of serial digital sources. Additionally, automatic cable equalization enables a maximum cable length of 120 meters at 3.0GHz and a maximum of 200 meters at 1.485GHz.

The module is available with native support for the following resolutions:

1280x720P/60 and 59.94 Hz
1920x1080i/50 and 59.94 Hz
1920x1080PsF/24 Hz
1920x1080P/23.98, 24, 25, 59.94 and 60Hz

For installations requiring multi-format switching, the HD/3G-SDI input module for Linx Prime will be available late in Q4 2010.
