AXON releases Synapse 3Gb/s, HD, SD modular multiviewer

Mar 14, 2008 8:50 AM

             

AXON’s modular infrastructure and communications system, Synapse, has been enhanced with the release of GQW200 — a 3Gb/s, HD, SD-SDI quad-split-to-QWXGA converter that forms the building blocks of the modular multiviewer.

The GQW200 quad-split cards can be used to build a flexible multiviewer system, which can easily be expanded by the addition of another GQW200 per four channels, resulting in an eight-channel multiviewer. Every additional GQW200 provides an additional group of four channels. The unit supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and includes a tally and UMD OSD.

Besides the GQW200, AXON also has released an HQW200 (HD/SD version) and SQW200 (SD only). Both the HQW200 and SQW200 can easily be upgraded to handle 3Gb/s signals.

Some of the key features of the GQW include:

  • Modular/linear expansion
  • Starts with four inputs, but can grow to 40 inputs when needed
  • Extremely low latency
  • 20ms for 50Hz video
  • 17ms for 60Hz video
  • Compatibility up to 3Gb/s
  • Output choice of DVI up to 1920 x 1200 and 3Gb/s SDI for 1080p
  • Preset-based storage of all graphical settings
  • One mouse click or ACP command can reorganize the multiview graphical settings

The system can be combined with a choice of more than 130 other infrastructure and conversion products from the Synapse range in the same frame.
