ISIS brings a breath of fresh air to the RGBHV industry! Our combined history of at least 150 years of Broadcast Industry experience and impeccable integrity has been applied to a new family of high performance RGBHV (multimedia) switchers. These RGBHV routers are not repackaged single channel switchers. They are specifically designed from ground-up, to handle the demands of RGBHV high-resolution signals.
The 2RU XL858 Audio/Video router is the smallest member of this family of RGBHV router products from ISIS. Some of the features of the XL858AV include:
- Delivering VGA to QSXGA performance
- Compact design. Just 1RU (1 3/4") for the video frame. Competing 8x8 RGBHV switchers are typically up to 5RU (8 3/4").
- Modular design. All the electronics are on front removable 'hot swappable' plug-in modules.
- The H and V sync channels are based on the same 300mHz analog switching crosspoint used for the Red, Green, and Blue channels. This allows the XL858AV to handle ANY computer sync rate, polarity or amplitude without risk of introducing distortions or jitter to these signals.
- Inputs and outputs are via HD-15 computer RGBHV standard connectors. By eliminating the BNC connectors ISIS has eliminated one of the primary causes of signal degradation: the signal discontinuities caused by 'break-out' cables, BNC type connectors and path length variations.
- Plug-in power-supply modules. Each frame has two front load slots for power supplies. One PS is standard. The second supply is the redundant power supply option. True load power monitoring is included with remote indicators for both power supplies. The video and audio power supplies are identical in all INNOVATION series switchers.
- 8x8 stereo analog or AES/EBU digital audio can be added by linking an INNOVATION audio frame to the XL858.
