Extron has announced that its MGP 641 xi 5K multi-window processor is now shipping, designed to present up to four 5K sources on a single screen, including 5K and ultra-wide displays.
Video signals up to 5120x2880 are supported with 4:4:4 colour sampling and Extron’s Vector 4K scaling engine to support downscaled and upscaled content.
Four HDMI inputs are included that support data rates up to 18 Gbps, with the HDCP 2.3-compliant processors including an HDMI background input for presenting live, non-scaled content behind the source windows at resolutions up to 5K.
The MGP 641 xi 5K SDI model supports 12G-SDI sources, along with HDMI. An HDMI output accommodates a local display, while the DTP3 output that supports 4K/60 and 5K resolutions drives a remote display up to 100 metres away with identical content.
The processors also provide customisable window layouts, video and logo keying, window transition effects, and output rotations. Two-channel embedded audio can be extracted or passed to the video output.
An optional LinkLicense also allows users to annotate over live content to emphasise key points, such as free-hand drawing, shapes, lines and pointer arrows, each in selectable colours. This provides enhanced content presentation with on-screen annotation and more.
