Smart-e has kicked off its Pluto video processing range with the SDS-2500 unit, otherwise known as Hydra.
Hydra can act as a 2x2 video wall processor, a 4x4 seamless switching and scaling matrix and a quad-split PIP/POP processor with multiple user select layouts. It is fully HDCP compliant and supports four multi-format (HDMI and VGA) inputs, and four HDMI outputs, with additional support for analogue audio and composite video inputs. The unit outputs at full 1080p @60Hz 36-bit colour depth.
Comprehensive EDID management comes as standard. The quad-split unit within the Hydra allows it to display up to four different images on a single screen. Control is via front panel buttons, infra-red handset and remote-control using RS232 and TCP/IP. Hydra is suited to use in a monitoring command and control centre and meeting/boardrooms.
