DN-225-TX - DVIGear - DisplayNet® AV Solution: Matrix Switch, Video Wall, MultiViewer, Extender. DisplayNet (DN-200 Series) HDMI, AV Transmitter
DN-225-TX (AV Transmitter)
Description:
The DN-200 Series is the flagship product of the DisplayNet AV-over-IP product line. It leverages the latest SDVoE technology to distribute uncompressed AV signals with resolutions of up to 4K /60p over a 10GbE Ethernet network. The DN-200 Series adds support for HDMI 2.0 with up to 12-bit color, HDCP 2.2, DisplayPort 1.2, and High-Speed USB 2.0 with virtual hub support. A high-performance scaler in both the Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) units enables very Fast Switching, Advanced MultiViewer, and Advanced Video Wall processing. Each Tx unit accepts multiple source signals including HDMI (with embedded audio and HDCP), DisplayPort, analog stereo audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232, and 1GbE Ethernet. These input signals are packetized into a single 10GbE link and are distributed to destinations via an off-the-shelf 10GbE network switch. The DN-200 Series supports twisted pair (CAT6a or CAT7) media up to 328 ft. (100 meters), or Fiber Optic media using an industry standard SFP+ module supporting extension distances up to 18 miles (30 km). The 10GbE switch provides a highly efficient and reliable means of distributing AV signals from many sources to an array of Rx units, which convert the packetized 10GbE data to AV output signals at the destination in real time without introducing frame latency or any loss of image quality. The DN-200 Series distributes video with resolutions up to 4K /60p with 8-bit color (4:4:4) and 4K /60p with 10-bit or 12-bit color (4:2:2 or 4:2:0) without image artifacts and without frame latency. When the video signal exceeds the bandwidth limits of 10GbE, very light compression (maximum ratio of about 1.4:1) is used. Video signals may be routed in Point-to-Point, Matrix Switching, Video Wall, and MultiViewer modes all in the same system. For optimum flexibility, each signal layer (Video, Embedded Audio, Downmixed Audio, Analog Audio, IR, RS-232, and 1GbE) can each be routed completely independently from one another. Advanced audio features are supported, including: networked audio, audio embedding, de-embedding and down-mixing. DN-200 Series transmitter and receiver units are controlled by a DisplayNet Server® (DNS-200), which includes powerful DisplayNet Manager® web browser-based software that enables the system to be managed using any third-party controller using simple Telnet commands.

Specification:
Benefits:
• Leverages decades of proven networking technology and massive global deployment of 10GbE networks
• AV assets no longer need to be aggregated at a central location using an expensive AV Matrix Switcher
• Eliminates the need for costly, redundant AV networks as all AV assets can now reside on existing IT networks
• Enables IT Managers to easily manage and distribute AV assets within corporate network environments
• 10GbE network switches can be up to 60% smaller than typical AV switches and up to 1/10th the cost
• Scalable – system array limited only by the number of installed endpoints and size (ports) of 10GbE switch
• High-speed uplinks on many 10GbE switches allow increased port capacity without obsoleting existing hardware
• Capable of concurrent Video Wall, MultiViewer, and Matrix Switching operation - supports diverse range of applications
• Embedded Local Management – DisplayNet auto-configures all connected devices even in the most complex networked systems, thus eliminating the need for complicated network switch configuration
