PIXELHUE P20

P20 is one of two new, sophisticated and powerful presentation switchers produced by Pixelhue. Based on a high-performance FPGA hardware architecture, it is capable of processing 4K 60p 4:4:4 10-bit resolution video with high-performance image de-interlacing.

It comes with a wide variety of 4K connectors to interface with all the latest video devices. Inputs include HDMI 2.0, DP1.2, 12G-SDI and 8 x 10G fiber optic ports. This ones and #34;copy and #34; the HDMI 2.0 outputs to allow the switchers themselves to transmit signals to the LED display controllers over a distance of up to 10 km without fiber converters, with obvious savings also in costs.

The available inputs are 8 x DP 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 and #43; 4 x 12G-SDI, while the outputs are 8 x HDMI 2.0. Added to these, there are 4 x HDMI 1.3 AUX outputs which can, in fact, be connected to auxiliary devices such as teleprompters and a dedicated Multiviewer output provided for live monitoring of all inputs and outputs from a display.

Pixelhue P20 can work in both switcher and splicer modes based on the type of application. In the first case, there are two 4K x 2K and #64; 60 Hz outputs. In splicer mode, viceversa, 8K x 4K, always at 60 Hz. Thanks to this double working mode, real 4K inputs/outputs without sub-sampling of the colour, high quality video processing with smooth transitions and smooth views, flawless image mosaic, various transition effects, this P-series presentation switcher is the perfect solution for medium sized live events and many fixed installations that require high reliability, ease usability, the best possible image quality and state-of-the-art 4K live processing capabilities.

In terms of layers, P20 supports 7 (3 x 4K layers and #43; 4 x 2K layers or 4 x 4K layers) with the possibility for users to be able to freely organize their arrangement. In addition, up to 128 presets are available to meet your different needs. High resolution images can be captured from live inputs and outputs and used as background. In addition, the P20 is equipped with advanced DSK features including luma key and chroma key, and supports SDR, HDR10 and HLG with conversion between these formats.

The control options are very flexible, making it an extremely versatile device that is also simple to use. These options include backlit front panel keys and a 5 graphical LCD display for direct access to functions, or alternatively by the U5 live console, using an intuitive web GUI interface and stream deck. Various backup methods are also supported, including input source backup, output backup and device backup to safeguard your events. Switching from primary to backup device is instantaneous.

Finally, we point out the excellent construction quality and electronic components that characterize P20, making it extremely reliable in the most demanding conditions of use. The manufacturer has carried out series of rigorous drop tests, shock and amp; vibration tests and thermal tests, ensuring it can survive in any kind of road trip in order to guarantee perfect functionality even in extreme conditions of use, such as in touring and rental, 24/7 with zero downtime.
