FUNCTION
The Smart-e
SDS-2500
is a highly integrated compact unit capable of multiple functions using its
internal
Hydra
processing engine. The
SDS-2500
can be used as a 4x4 seamless switching and
scaling matrix, 2x2 video wall processor and the added ability to act as a quad-split PIP/POP
processor with multiple user selectable layout options.
Four multi-format video inputs are available, each able to accept HDMI, VGA or composite video
signals. Stereo audio can also be added separately or use the embedded audio within the HDMI
connection. All analogue video inputs are digitised and up-scaled where necessary to create a
seamless image.
The
SDS-2500
provides four HDMI outputs designed to connect to four HDMI compliant monitors
accepting resolutions up to 1080p.
Multiple control options are provided including: front panel button control, infra-red control via the
provided handset or remote-control options of RS232 or TCP/IP for interfacing to an external
control system.
The
SDS-2500
has comprehensive EDID management allowing users to assign a number of EDID
values from 480i to 1080p to any of the four inputs. EDID commands can be issued either by the
front panel controls or the RS232 serial commands. Using the serial communications user defined
EDID strings can be issued or EDID values can be read directly from screens connected to any of the
four HDMI outputs. Infra-red connectivity is provided on the rear of the unit to direct infra-red
commands from and to the displays back to the sources providing a convenient of control for users.
