PIXELHUE - F8 Mainframe

Pixelhue F8 is a hi-end modular mainframe presentation switcher designed for easy management of multiple displays in entertainment or visual management systems. Suitable for use with a variety of input formats and multiple display outputs. Up to 8 input and 8 output cards with up to 32 inputs and outputs. Power supplies and main control board are field replaceable.
Based on the latest FPGA chipset, the F8 enables stable, fast, overall better image performance and outputs 4K @ 60 Hz 4:4:4 10-bit video not compressed. Features 64 SL mixing layers, 32 x DL mixing layers or 16 x 4K mixing layers, virtual pixel support, 2 multi-viewer outputs with flexible layouts, adjustable borders and UMD, input sync with Genlock, EDID management (including resolution standard, custom resolution and advanced resolution settings) and much more.
Built with environmental protection in mind, F8 is a great long-term solution, making it easy to upgrade via modules for future use.
