X8 Universal Video Processing
Product Information
The X8 is a video processing platform designed for
high-performance and demanding environments where 4K is the norm.
It comes with the industry-leading X series video processing
platform that takes a massive step into the 8K future. The X8
provides unparalleled multi-signal compositing, sync and switching
with low latency while maintaining and enhancing visual fidelity.
The X8 has a modular design that enables higher up times, ease of
maintenance, and operational efficiencies. The X8 supports 8K
multi-cable ultra-high resolution sources in conventional and
panoramic configurations, as well as standard 4K and 2K signal
formats.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the X8, connect your video sources to the input modules
and connect the output modules to your display devices. The X8
provides unparalleled multi-signal compositing, sync and switching
with low latency while maintaining and enhancing visual fidelity.
Open, switch and transition video layers seamlessly with full sync
even across multiple outputs. Transition between multi-signal,
multi-scene presets, and PIP over background layers, bringing
together 4K and spliced 8K sources on demand. The X8 lets you
process high resolution video without compression or loss. It is
4:4:4 native with wide bandwidth in device to process high-quality
video without compromise. Up-sampling of 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 content to
4:4:4 is also supported.
The X8 comes with RGBlink technologies that ensure high
performance very low latency hardware-based video processing.
Synchronisation and delivery of signals of any resolution across
multiple outputs is tear-free and scaled pixel-to-pixel. You can
leverage RGBlink OpenAPI to connect from almost any platform,
allowing integration capabilities that go way beyond simply
triggering presets or scenes. The X8 also comes with the RGBlink
XPOSE 2.0 control platform built right into it and accessible via a
web browser. You can create entire display systems comprised of not
only multiple resolution displays but also displays of any format
or type.
The X8 supports 8K multi-cable ultra-high resolution sources in
conventional and panoramic configurations, as well as standard 4K
and 2K signal formats. For display, configure ultra large displays
across multiple 4K outputs using multiple video layers. The X8
comes with RGBlink XPOSE 2.0, which provides an industry, intuitive
to use configuration and control platform for advanced RGBlink
processors including X8. Signals can be previewed live, multiple
display system containers built, presets created and managed.
Playback facilities include live and broadcast style as well as
scheduled timeline-based options and more. The X8 accepts
BlackBurst in and can synchronize and Genlock to other devices in a
video system. The dedicated HDMI is configurable for up to 64
windows for the ultimate in local monitoring capability.
