VFX-248 Flexible Modular Video Matrix Chassis
This Device Has Been Discontinued
The VFX-248 is a high-performance modular matrix switcher chassis providing 32 card slots that allow for flexible AV matrix combinations from 1 x 31 to 24 x 8. Twenty-four flexible card slots support single HDMI, HDBaseT, VGA, analog audio, and microphone input/output cards, while eight fixed slots support output signal cards.
The flexibility of VFX-248 makes it a highly customizable Audio/Video signal matrix switching & video scaling solution for any commercial multimedia application, such as conference rooms, control rooms, hotels, or shopping centers.
The VFX-248 enables cross-point switching from any input card to any output card and supports UHD 4K video. The HDBaseT outputs deliver HDMI video over a Cat5e/Cat6 cable to an VHR-1 HDBaseT receiver up to 130 feet (40 meters) away.
All signal input and output cards support plug & play and hot swapping. Every video or audio signal is transmitted and switched independently to decrease signal attenuation. The VFX-248 can be controlled via IR, RS-232, Ethernet or via front panel touch screen.
- Supports flexible audio/video matrix combination from 1 x 31 to up to 24 x 8.
- 24 flexible card slots for input or output signal cards, and 8 fixed slots for output signal cards.
- Input and output cards for HDMI, HDBaseT, VGA, analog audio, and microphone available.
- Switching Speed <100ns.
- HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting up to HDMI 2.0.
- Built-in scaling functionality allows for adjustable output video resolution up to 4K.
- Powerful EDID management.
- HDBaseT outputs transmit HDMI@1080p up to 230 feet (70m) over a Cat5E/6 cable (130ft/40m at 4K).
- Supports multiple control options, including front panel touch screen, RS-232 IR, and TCP/IP.
- LCD shows connection status, switching status, HDCP status, and output resolution.
