PIXELHUE - PD3-S10

The PD3-S10 is a distributed LED controller and dual-streaming AVoIP processor, designed for professional environments requiring advanced, decentralized management of audiovisual content. Unlike traditional processors, it does not have physical video inputs such as HDMI or SDI: it receives signals exclusively over an IP network, via a 1 Gbps Ethernet port and a 1 Gbps optical port, compatible with RTSP, RTP, RTCP, and ONVIF protocols. This allows the PD3-S10 to directly decode video streams from distributed encoders, IP cameras, and media servers, even if they are located far from the LED walls being controlled.

The device simultaneously transmits two video streams: a high-quality primary stream, compressed with the proprietary InstSight algorithm, and a standard-quality secondary stream, based on H.264 / H.265. This dual-streaming architecture enables efficient content distribution with minimal latency (up to 2 ms) and reduced network bandwidth impact. The PD3-S10 can handle up to 24 video layers in Full HD resolution and supports a primary layer up to 4K @ 60 Hz, with nanosecond synchronization between nodes to ensure perfectly smooth, tear-free viewing.

Designed for complex and distributed installations, such as control rooms, conference centers, airports, and data centers, the PD3-S10 enables centralized content management even in multi-site scenarios, thanks to VLAN compatibility and the ability to configure each node as an autonomous control center. The visual management interface allows real-time content monitoring, free layout configuration, preset management, and remote control, even via tablet.

On the hardware front, the PD3-S10 is equipped with 10 Ethernet ports for direct loading of LED walls, with a maximum capacity of 6.5 Mpixels. It supports 8/10-bit 4:4:4 RGB output, even irregular LED screen configurations, custom EDID management, and a wide range of refresh rates. It also includes audio inputs and outputs (MIC / line IN, line OUT), with support for AAC and G.711 formats, as well as control connectors such as RS232, RS485, IR, I/O, and RELAY.

In summary, the Pixelhue PD3-S10 is a powerful and flexible solution for distributing and controlling audiovisual content on LED walls in distributed environments, where the distance between source and display is no longer a limitation, but an opportunity to simplify the infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.
