IHSE USA now offers its 480 series of draco compact matrix switchers in a new XV (eXtreme Velocity) fiber-optic version supporting video resolutions up to 4K. The 480 XV models are offered in frames sized for 8, 16, 32, and 48 ports in 1RU and 64 and 80 ports in only 2RU, making them ideal where rack space is limited and 4K distribution is planned. The 480 XV supports all the Draco vario extenders for dual link DVI, HDMI, and 4K DisplayPort as well as auxiliary bidirectional data transports for audio, USB, and RS-232 serial interfaces. The system includes instant switching technology for all the popular video formats up to and including 3840×2160 for DisplayPort at 4K and is suitable for mobile broadcasting, command and control systems, board rooms, production studios, and small class rooms.
