Wyrestorm Places Bets on UltraHD

Several new distribution and control products were shown by Wyrestorm, focusing on the UltraHD format. All units are scheduled to be shipped in Q4.

The MX-0808-4K is an 8×8 HDMI-to-HDMI matrix switcher, set to cost $5,000. It was joined by two 8×8 HDBaseT switchera (MX-0808-PP-POH-4K), able to send signals up to 70m/100m. UltraHD is supported at 30Hz with 4:4:4 subsampling or 60Hz with 4:2:0. The switcher will be launched for $10,000.

Next were the SP-0104-4K and SP-0108-4K HDMI-to-HDMI splitters, sending UltraHD content to 4 or 8 displays. The splitters have a slim (18mm) profile. The final products were two HDBaseT extenders, sending content 70m (EX-70-4K / RX-70-4K) or 100m (EX-100-4K / RX-100-4K).
