Fx4-SDI Controller

4k display controller w/4 x SDI outputs

Live events and broadcast markets face similar challenges when deploying video walls. Fast transmission speeds are paramount to project success, with large distances needing to be covered by vast networks of cables.

The Datapath Fx4-SDI offers the perfect solution for staging and televised video walls. Delivering four SDI outputs and the ability to loop multiple units together, even the largest, most complex video wall installations are possible. Datapath’s intuitive Wall Designer software and fully featured API means that whole projects can be quickly set up and easy to manage.

A choice of 3G SDI, DisplayPort1.2 and HDMI1.4 inputs, the Datapath Fx4-SDI offers up to 4k 4096x2160p at 60fps.

Each output monitor can take its input from any region of the input image as all of the required cropping, scaling, rotation and frame-rate conversion is handled by the Datapath Fx4 hardware. These regions can overlap to allow any output to replicate another or can be configured to support any creative splice of the source material. This allows the support of many non-rectangular screen arrangements with uneven gaps, as well as any mix of monitor orientations.

The Datapath Fx4-SDI also allows users to pre-load an image for immediate display in those cases when the media source or cables malfunction and no signal is being received.

The Datapath Fx4-SDI has dual Ethernet ports to allow users to add the device to their networks. Only one Datapath Fx4-SDI in the chain requires connection to the physical LAN as Ethernet loop through is supported on the second port, meaning multiple devices can be connected.
