AMX Adds DVI Fibre Transmission Solutions to AutoPatch Fibre Optic Switcher Line (5/7/2007)

CEDIA UK Expo 2007

AMX, worldwide leader in automation and control, technology management and audio/video switching and distribution, has released its new AutoPatch Digital Generation (DG) DVI to Fibre Transmitter and DG DVI to Fibre Receiver. With these products, system integrators now have a way to transmit uncompressed digital video over distances up to 3,000 feet to multiple displays.

The DVI to Fibre Transmitter and Receiver can be used in conjunction with an EpicaDG Fibre Optic Matrix Switcher to deliver video to as many as 144 displays - ideal for any large or highly-secure facility, such as command-and-control, homeland security, broadcast or business. The products can also be used together to create a point-to-point solution for smaller installations - such as graphic design studios or small post-production facilities - needing to deliver high-resolution computer video to three or fewer displays.

"With these new solutions, AMX has met a real need that many organisations have to distribute digital video over long distances while preserving signal integrity," said Robert Noble, AMX chief technology officer. "When significant investments are made in true DVI sources, such as HDTV tuners, DVD players and personal computers, solutions should be available to deliver that same high-quality video throughout the facility."

Key features and benefits of the DVI to Fibre Transmitter and Receiver include:

* High-quality, highly-secure video distribution - Distribute three DVI signals over one, 12 fibre multimode MTP cable in pure digital form while preserving signal quality

* Long-distance distribution - Distribute uncompressed DVI signals up to 3,000 feet

* System-level flexibility - Compatible with all AutoPatch DG products

The DG DVI Fibre Transmitter (AVB-TX-DVI-FIBER) and Receiver (AVB-RX-FIBER-DVI) are available for immediate purchase.
