RGB Spectrum Adds HDBaseT to Its Linx Matrix Switcher Systems
RGB Spectrum is unveiling HDBaseT capability for its Linx™ Matrix Switchers with a line-up of UTP/STP extender products, including input/output cards and endpoints that incorporate HDBaseT transmission technology, at InfoComm 2013.
RGB Spectrum's Linx matrix switchers provide connectivity solutions for a variety of applications that require signal distribution within rooms, and across buildings and campuses, by accommodating any mix of copper, fiber, or STP/UTP cable connections. The new HDBaseT-certified CAT-Linx™ cards complement existing DVI/HDMI® and fiber cards to expand the capabilities of the system.
"The new CAT-Linx cards offer tremendous opportunities for custom installation professionals to fully capitalize on installation cost savings," said Jed Deame, vice president of marketing at RGB Spectrum. "CAT-Linx cards are incredibly easy to integrate into a Linx matrix switcher system, instantly providing installers with a cost-effective solution for long cable runs, including those transferring HD and 3D signals."
To take advantage of HDBaseT technology, users can simply install a CAT-Linx card into any available slot of a Linx switcher chassis. CAT-Linx cards allow HDMI® (with embedded audio) and serial data to be reliably transmitted between the switcher and CAT-Linx endpoints that can be located up to 150 meters away.
CAT-Linx cards utilize Power over HDBaseT (PoH) technology to provide power to endpoints through the same cable that carries the signal, effectively eliminating the need for external power supplies. Additionally, because CAT-Linx cards are HDBaseT certified, they work seamlessly with certified third-party endpoints as well.
