AliceDesigned to give Savant integrators an advantage by enabling them to deliver premium distributed AV content to residential and commercial clients, Savant has unveiled an ultra-high-performance ‘pixel-perfect’ 4K video over IP switching platform at ISE 2017.
Shipping in Q3, the new product line delivers 4K/60 4:4:4 HDR video distribution over IP with zero frame latency, and Savant is confident that integration professionals will appreciate the convenience of a centralised 10GbE switch, enabling Ethernet connectivity throughout the project with both fibre and copper options.
According to the manufacturer, the video and audio distribution capability of the switch cost effectively meets the demand for the highest quality experience across any job size, with the added advantage of scalability only limited by the size of the network, allowing installations from 2-128 zones or more.
A transmit chassis for centralised sources and distributed receivers has been designed with ease of installation in mind, while audio down-mixing capabilities and audio breakout options make the new switching platform ideal for use with Savant’s recently released Pro Audio 4 IP-based switch with unlimited audio zone support and access to a number of streaming services via Savant Music.
Video processing features supported by the new platform include multi-video/video tiling, video wall and multi-switching applications.
“In prior ventures with Excel Switching, we led the telecom industry’s evolution to IP-based switching systems; today Savant is leading a similar evolution in video switching,” states Savant CEO, Robert Madonna. “These new best-in-class 4K switching solutions deliver the same advantages to the A/V integration professional within a complete suite of products that give them a competitive advantage in the luxury home and commercial markets.”
Savant 4K Ultra HD video over IP switching solution is on display at ISE in hall 5, Stand R114.
