Apantac Unveils Plans For ISE 2014

Apantac has expanded its CRESCENT Series of Video Walls and will demonstrate the new models at the upcoming Integrated Systems Europe 2014.

ISE is a pan-European event for the emerging markets of professional AV and electronic systems integration. Apantac will be at ISE 2014, stand 10-S114.

The newest configurations to the CRESCENT Video Wall Series are:

• CRESCENT WALL 2×8: Accepts one HDMI input, which is displayed in a 2×8 portrait-style configuration.
• CRESCENT WALL 2×3: Accepts one HDMI input, which is displayed in a 2×3 landscape-style configuration.
• CRESCENT WALL 3×4: accepts one HDMI input, which is displayed in a 3×4 landscape-style configuration.

CRESCENT Video Wall models include:

• CRESCENT 4K:  Accepts one HDMI input, which can be displayed as a 2×2, 1×3 and 1×4 portrait-style configurations.
• CRESCENT WALL 3×3:  Accepts one HDMI input, which is displayed across nine monitors in a 3×3 configuration. Additional configurations for this model include: three 2×2, 1×3 and 1×4 wall. This model also supports the new 2×3 landscape-style configuration.
• CRESCENT WALL 4×4:  Accepts one HDMI input, which is displayed across 16 monitors in a 4×4 configuration. Additional configurations for this model include: four 2×2, 1×3, or 1×4 wall. This model also supports the new 2×8 portrait-style or 3×4 landscape-style configurations.

The video walls output resolution can be set for 1920x1080P or 1366x768P and they accept 720P, 1080i or 1080P source signals. The hardware is a compact ½ rack unit or 1 RU chassis size, and includes a built-in extender per every output for extending the DVI/HDMI video signals over CAT 6 cable.

Controlling the CRESCENT WALL series is straightforward via front panel buttons, which allows setting the display mode and compensate for the monitors bezel width. A built-in web control, accessible from any computer browser, allows the user to configure the video wall, compensate for the monitors bezel width and adjust the color temperature.

The built-in CATx extenders allow the source to be up to 35 meters (115 feet) from video wall hardware.

The CRESCENT Video Wall series is a natural evolution based on the Apantac’s image processing technology that has placed Apantac as a market leader in the Multiviewer industry.

Apantac Expands Line of HDBaseT Technology Solutions for ISE 2014
Apantac will demonstrate its expanded HDBaseT solutions at the upcoming Integrated Systems Europe 2014.

ISE is a pan-European event for the emerging markets of professional AV and electronic systems integration. Apantac will be at ISE 2014, stand 10-S114.

New at ISE 2014 is the 4×4 HDBaseT HDMI Matrix with built-in output extender over CATx for switching HDMI video with embedded audio and IR. The maximum distance between the matrix and the receiving devices is 70 or 100 meters, depending on the Apantac HDBaseT receiver model.

The 4×4 complements the HDBaseT 8×8 and 16×16 HDMI Matrices. The entire range of HDBaseT HDMI Matrices supports DVI resolutions up to 1920×1200 and HDMI resolutions up to 1080P (HDMI 1.4 with 3D, and 4K support).

Also new at ISE are two HDBaseT transmitters / extenders that pair with a new HDBaseT receiver. The HDBT-EAP extender accepts an HDMI signal, and the HDBT-EAPv extender accepts an HDMI or VGA (converted to HDMI) signal. These transmitters extend HDMI (or VGA converted to HDMI – the HDBT-EAPv), IR, RS232, and a GPI contact. They also feature bi-directional POE (power over Ethernet), whereby power is provided on one end of the pair and sent over the CATx cable to the other end. The extenders and receiver set support DVI resolutions up to 1920×1200, and HDMI resolutions up to 1080P (HDMI 1.4 with 3D, and 4K support).

The MT HOOD line of signal processing solutions also includes a full line of VGA, HDMI, DVI, KVM, universal, and touch-screen extenders, HDMI matrices and splitters, HDBaseT matrices and splitters, and pattern generators.

Apantac’s full line of HDBaseT technology for transmission of uncompressed video, audio, and control signals will be on display at ISE 2014, stand 10-S114.
