British image processing manufacturer Calibre will use InfoComm as the platform to show several HQUltra processing innovations in the Americas for the first time.
Additionally, visitors to the Calibre stand can play a true to life 1980’s themed Arcade game on a giant 4K LED video walls that will be powered by LEDView scaler technology. The individual whogets the overall highest-score across the show days will win their choice of a LEDView or HQView 4K scaler-switcher.
“The entire range of HQUltra 4K scaler-switchers are designed to be future proof, reliable and produce outstanding image quality. As well as video scaling and switching we have models that also perform audio switching. All products and technologies are supported by the Americas expert team,” says
Tim Brooksbank, CEO at Calibre UK.
HQUltraFast 4K Presentation Scaler-Switchers
Calibre is showing the latest products in the HQUltra line of 4K compatible ultra-fast scaler-switchers. As the industry’s fastest single channel scaler-switchers, HQUltraFast promises input channel switching in typical 0.25 seconds.
For video switching and scaling, Calibre offers the HQView625 presentation switcher, which is ideal for entertainment, visitor attractions, live events and corporate installations requiring scaling of 4K video content.
On show with a live interactive demo will be Calibre’s first ever-combined video & audio 4K scaler-switchers (HQView620A, HQView625A, HQView630A and HQView670A). These are aimed at reducing the level of equipment in installations and making installation simple.
As well as powerful image processing performance, these presentation scaler-switchers have analogue and embedded audio switching, microphone inputs with mixer, balanced line-level outputs and integral 15W+15WRMS stereo power amplifier, all within a 1U enclosure.
HQUltra 4K LEDView700-series LED scalers
All models use a dedicated LED videowall image scaling engine based on Calibre’s proprietary class-leading HQUltra 4K image processing technology switching. They are able to scale with outstanding clarity and switch input channels typically in a quarter of a second.
The flagship LED screen models are LEDView730 and LEDView770. These scalers provide a wide range of input connectivity and can handle 11 inputs and provide 3 duplicate video outputsincluding 4K HDMI, DVI/HDMI and 3G SDI, ideal for today’s digitally connected ProAV world where LED screens are becoming commonplace. Modern digital formats and analogue legacy formats are supported. LEDView770 adds inbuilt 4KHDBaseT In and Out. For in-camera use, a Genlock input is provided that is compatible with bi or tri-level sync or black and burst.
Two additional cost-effective 4K HQUltraFast LED scaler-switcher models are LEDView720 with 8 video inputs and 2 duplicate inputs for fixed installations, digital signage and mobile LED trucks and the LEDView725 with 9 video inputs and 3 duplicate outputs, including 4K HDBaseT In and Out.
For rental-staging applications, the multi-function HQUltra730 and HQUltra770 models provide presentation scaler-switcher, LED scaler-switcher and general purpose scaling and scan conversion capabilities within a single unit. These can be repurposed as required through the simple to use front panel menu.
