Magenta Research Exhibits World Class HDMI and DVI Signal Management Products at ISE 2010

Magenta Research will exhibit its full range of MultiView and Infinea product offerings for the Pro-AV and digital signage marketplace on Stand 1K5 at Integrated Systems Europe, 2-4 February 2010, Amsterdam RAI.

[UKPRwire, Wed Dec 09 2009] Magenta Research, a recognised leader in video, audio and control signal distribution over structured cabling, will exhibit its full range of MultiView and Infinea product offerings for the Pro-AV and digital signage marketplace on Stand 1K5 at Integrated Systems Europe, 2-4 February 2010, Amsterdam RAI. Highlights include the Infinea M-HDX™ extension product and Infinea Opto Matryx™ single switching platform for native signal connectivity in the HDMI and DVI signal domain.

Infinea M-HDX – eXtreme eXtension for DVI and HDMI
At ISE Magenta will show its new M-HDX digital signal extension solution, which offers robust 24/7 reliability and signal performance for demanding applications, including driving video walls, sport event presentation, clustered or grouped display installations, real-time feed presentation, analytical or laboratory environments, lecture hall and educational presentation work.

The M-HDX link is based on technology that can transport full bandwidth, full motion and full colour depth HDMI 1.3 1080p/60 or VESA 1920 X 1200 over a single strand of multimode fibre. M-HDX supports fibre distances of 1ft to 2,000ft (over 600m) and offers industry exclusive features for integrated auxiliary signaling. In addition to carrying full-HD HDMI or high resolution DVI, the M-HDX supports full duplex serial communication and fully separate (from embedded HDMI audio), CD quality stereo audio. In keeping with Magenta’s commitment to performance and product value, the M-HDX transports the HD audiovisual signals without introducing any form of compression or latency. To avoid operational instability or failure, Magenta’s HDCP channel uses an innovative technique to seamlessly support the EDID and HDCP handshake.

Opto Matryx – scalable and modular digital switching platform
Also on the stand will be Magenta’s Opto Matryx, a chassis-based system providing an expandable building block approach to native digital audiovisual switching. Currently available Opto Matryx I/O modules support HDMI (without HDCP) and DVI signals that are ported through standard HDMI connectors. Modules that support local I/O for stereo audio and full duplex serial will be available shortly. Full matrix HDCP capable I/O modules and M-HDX compatible fibre optic output modules are also scheduled for imminent release. All current and future Opto Matryx modules share full compatibility with the chassis, so a simple and seamless system upgrade path is assured.

Each chassis provides fully redundant power, filtered cooling and sophisticated control capabilities. By selectively populating a single chassis with the octal I/O modules, it can be configured to support matrix dimensions of 8 X 8 to 32 X 32 in steps of 8. Even larger switches can be built by cascading multiple frames together. Matrix dimensions can be expanded to 96 X 80 with many other sizes and I/O ratios being possible.

The Opto Matryx is fully compatible with the M-HDX and together they provide a world class, digital audiovisual connectivity solution. To find out more visit Magenta Research on Stand 1K5.

About Magenta Research
Magenta Research is the industry-recognised leader in the adaptive distribution and switching of video/audio/control signals over CatX cable, DVI over fibre and/or Cat6 and more recently, HDMI over Cat6. Over ten years, Magenta has developed the highest-performance, broadest and most flexible video-over-CatX product line, the MultiView™ Series. The company utilises proprietary technologies to enable WUXGA/1080p video distribution at 2,000 feet (610m). MultiView Series transmitters, receivers, switchers and distributive systems have been installed in a large variety of A/V applications, especially dynamic signage for retail, airport, fast food, museum, casino, theatre, courtroom and corporate applications. In 2006, Magenta introduced the Mondo Matrix, the first multimedia Cat5 matrix switcher that can be scaled incrementally from 16x16 to 256x512. The Mondo has quickly become the new standard for larger-scale video plus audio and/or serial matrix switching. In 2006, Magenta launched the Infinea DVI Series and an industry-first – unlimited DVI extension over optical fibre and/or Cat6 using digital signal repeaters at 10km of fibre or 600 ft. (183m) of Cat6. Based in Connecticut, USA, Magenta utilises a network of international distributors, manufacturers’ representatives and resellers to market its enabling technology worldwide.
