Your project can be accommodated to a 4U high device to serve the custom project requirements. Robust mechanics and logical interface design guarantee easy installation and operation. The chassis offers:

Custom design, custom manufactured, made of steel to serve robust mission critical projects

Regulated fans with very low noise level for long terms and stable operation

Dual, redundant, hot swappable power supply option

Frame design optimized for the best cooling and easy board exchange

You can supervise and check visually the health of the remote chassis by the help of the remote Web based user interface. Continuous health service for supervision of fan rotation, external power supplies, internal power supplies and internal temperature of boards/chassis are possible. The status of these parameters is permanently displayed over the remote user interface while user can check all the status information in detail. The status of these parameters is saved to special log files also.

The chassis contains internal power supplies supporting all of the international mains electricity standards from 90V up to 265V. The optional second redundant power supplies give high reliability as they are:

• Fully redundant, sharing the system load among the units
• Hot swappable, so they can be exchanged during full operation
• Provide altogether 2 units for the 4U chassis
The system operation can be switched on and switched off by the mains switch on the front of the chassis.

The front panel LED displays status information for setup and control. There are push buttons for navigation and control inside the setup to handle setting up of basic configuration information

• Setting of DHCP or fixed IP address and additional LAN parameters
• Function assignment of signal driving push buttons
• Setting of RS232C signals’ connection parameters
• OSD display settings
• Factory reset setting

There is a set of push buttons for input signal and a separate set for output signal management. They can work for multiple purposes:

• The input buttons can select a certain input signal to be displayed on a certain output channel identified by the output button. This can be used for signal display one-by-one, usually for testing.
• The user can generate layouts and can assign them to push buttons. In this case the push of a certain button recalls the pre-designed layout on a rather straightforward way.

The DMX101 products contain different control interfaces for the easy local or remote control

• 1 x DVI output connector to display local monitor for system setup and control
• 4 x USB2.0 connectors for firmware upgrade, save/reload configuration information or
• 1 x local mouse for system control
• 1 x local keyboard for system control

• 2 x LAN connection to be connected to TCP/IP networks, to be used for setup and remote control
• 1 x RS-232C connector to handle remote control commands

Convenient local control of the box by mouse, keyboard and local monitor

The DMX101 products provide chance for local control using the locally connected peripherals. Full functioning graphics user interface on the locally connected monitor handles user login and layout management by the mouse and keyboard. The operator sitting in front of the device can manage the full operation without any LAN connection. So system security can be enhanced significantly.

• 4 x HDMI 4K 60Hz signals, 4 x audio, up to 4K 60Hz resolution
• 8 x HDMI 4K 60Hz signals, up to 4K 60Hz resolution
• 4 x HDBaseT signals with RJ45 connenctors, 4 x audio, up to 4K resolution
• 4 x SDI, HD-SDI, 3GSDI, 4 x audio
• 4 x Universal input for legacy signals as DVI, RGB, YUV progressive, YUV interlaced, composite video interlaced, S-video interlaced, up to 1920x1200 resolution 
• 4 x HDMI for interlaced signals, 4 x audio, up to 1920x1080 resolution
• 16 x composite video inputs, progressive and interlaced, 4 x audio as NTSC, PAL, SECAM

• 4 x HDMI 4K 60Hz signals, 4 x audio, up to 4K 60Hz resolution
• 8 x HDMI 4K 60Hz signals, up to 4K 60Hz resolution

 Universal L,R audio handling at the input ports & Universal audio handling at the output ports

 The 4 x Phoenix connectors handle base line L, R analogue audio signals. The audio connectors have 2 roles depending on user interface setting
• Input of base line, L, R analogue audio signal for internal matrix switch and output audio generation
• Output of audio signal de-embedded from the corresponding HDMI or HDBaseT or SDI input channel

 

The output signals contain embedded audio where the independent audio matrix can assign audio of any input channels to be embedded. Additionally the 4 x Phoenix connectors handle base line L, R analogue audio output signals for the direct connection to external processing equipment.

The DMX101 family introduces the new concept of section. Each of the sections may have assigned input signals to handle, outputs to control and users with different access rights. The hierarchical user right system ensures user access and control to selected sections and so selected inputs and outputs only. The world class DMX101 products provide free setup for the administrator to
• define sections and name them
• assign specific input channels
• assign selected out channel
• define operation mode as presentation matrix, routing matrix or video processor
• assign users
• assign different rights for each user
Rather sophisticated architectures and operation modes can be designed and performed with these new tools.

Remote preview of input signals for the total management of the system
The graphics user interface has the built-in option to display stamp sized preview of multiple input signals. This live preview makes possible the check the input signal validity and content by the operator continuously. Great chance to have the total overview what is happening and what must be displayed. This is a remote preview so the operator can see remotely without any direct access to any of the inputs.

The products offer professional HDCP handling as supporting HDCP 1.4, 2.0 or 2.2 standards for the perfect integration of the boxes to complex environments. The user can set up at the input side to reflect handling of
• No HDCP
• HDCP 1.4
• HDCP 1.4 or 2.0 or 2.2
The device handles all HDCP standards at the output side depending on the peripheral connected. All the HDCP rules are strictly kept when displaying signals with different HDCP standard.

The EDID handling at the output and input side has been developed to support easy system integration. Different EDID handling method include the chance to develop custom EDID to be presented to special input sources.

The DMX101 devices can be controlled remotely from a Web browser of any platform.
Remote control compatibility:

  Windows

  iOS

  Linux

  Android

The graphics user interface supports users with the option to select a local language for the operation. A lot of different local language options are supported:

  English as default

  Italian

  Korean

 French

 Polish

 Japanese

The web based remote user interface includes handling of different users with different rights. There is an Administrator account that is able to define other administrators or users with different access and control rights.

The user can perform device and layout management operations by simple mouse clicks. The interface is rather easy to understand and supports all the functions for the remote device control.

 A large set of different test patterns and schedules can be recalled and run to each of the output channels where static or even moving test patterns are available. The sequence of different settings with coloured picture can be generated with a single mouse click.

Special area of push buttons can be used to recall pre-designed signal assignment patterns. From 8 up to 32 layout controlling buttons can recall full system assignment pattern in a glimpse. The buttons can have own name, colour for active and inactive state, even sequential display of patterns can be set up by assigned stepping time and sequence.

The advance internal scheduler can be programmed to start or to stop layout display and to send command strings through the RS232C interface to achieve external device control.

You can initiate precise logging procedure that saves all the system parameters to files for later revision. The device has 6 levels of logging to save critical data of the configuration and operation.

You can connect a standard keyboard or a programmable keypad (X-keys) to recall any of the layouts. The user can control the device operation by simple key buttons and display pre-designed layout according to his wish.
