AMX shows at ISE 2016 the advantages of SVSI for 4K compression

The demonstration was carried out with two 4K screens, side by side. One shows uncompressed 4K, via HDMI signal directly from the source to the monitor, and in the other the same signal from the 4K source is displayed, but passing through the encoder, via CAT5 standard, to the decoder.

AMX is one of the companies that exhibits its products in WHEREAS 2016, integrated into the stand Harman Professional Solutions. And it is doing so to invite attendees to learn about the benefits of using AMX SVSI for 4K video compression through a real-time demonstration over Ethernet without visual loss..

“Carrying 4K video over a network has been a challenge, since we had to bring the Ultra HD bandwidth to a manageable size. Customers need to know that their AV infrastructure will not become obsolete, being able to deliver 4K Ultra HD compressed video over a standard 1 gigabit we make sure this is not going to happen”, explica Kevin Deasy, program manager en Harman Professional Solutions.

Quality and efficient JPEG-based visual lossless compression 2000 used in AMX SVSI encoders and decoders, allows the transport of 4K video over standard networks 1 Gbps and fiber links 10 a 40 Gbps. This compression achievement helps keep infrastructure costs and bandwidth budgets within a reasonable price range., making 4K Ultra HD distribution convenient.

“We are applying compression to transport the 4K signal over a standard gigabit network, but we are not sacrificing quality in any way.. An ISE 2016 we are showing two 4K screens side by side. An uncompressed 4K sample, via HDMI signal directly from source to monitor. The other shows the same signal from the 4K source, but going through our encoder and, via standard CAT5 copper cable, to the decoder. "You can't tell the difference.", Deasy adds..

Encoder/decoder

The NMX-ENC-N2151 4K Encoder and NMX-DEC-N2251 4K Decoder provide the same flexible solution, powerful and scalable than the rest of the AMX SVSI N2000 series with resolutions up to 4096x2160.

JPEG compression 2000 allows Ultra HD media to be switched and distributed over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks. The Ultra High Definition signals that the NMX-ENC-N2151 encoder provides at the same time are, on the one hand, a data stream 200-600 Mbps with JPEG compressed signal 2000 via RJ45 connector, y, on the other, an uncompressed data stream through the SFP+ connector compatible with fiber or copper.

Any source can be sent to any number of displays routed through layer switches. 3. System scalability is only limited by the bandwidths of the bonding and stacking connectors., but can support up to 100 Ultra HD video sources at once.

These devices maintain the standard features of the series, such as input and output scaling, bidirectional serial port, AND, embedded audio 7.1 and KVM over IP extension. The size of the NMX-ENC- N2151-C and NMX-DEC-N2251-C makes them compatible with the 2 RU Rack Mount NMX-ACC-N9206 for High Density Applications.

The NMX-ENC-N2151 is the ideal solution for any low latency application and where video matrices smaller than 32x32 are needed.. The most common applications include classrooms, conference rooms, performing arts spaces and restaurant spaces.

Features:

• Video scaling at the output for seamless switching from any source, resolution, screen or projector, preserving video fidelity.
• Infrared emitter to control economical display devices that only have IR.
• N-Series encoders and decoders are equipped with control capabilities by sending TCP/UDP commands to another IP controllable device..
• HDMI interface with Pass-through for easy installation with local display.
