PureLink launches a pair of 4K matrix switchers-- the 4x4 HTX-4400-U and the 8x8 HTX-8800-U, buth with UHD 1.4b support at the inputs and conversion to HDBaseT at the outputs.

The HTX U series also provides RS232 extension to each HDBaseT receiver location, as well as an ethernet hub feature. PureLink fails to specify the Chroma Sampling rate, but it is probably 4:2:0 at 4K resolution (4096x2160).

Extron launches the HAE 100 4K-- an audio de-embedder able to extract audio from HDMI signals, including audio from 4K sources.

The HAE 100 4K features outputs for analog stereo or dual mono signals, as well as digital multi-channel or two-channel S/PDIF audio. It is HDCP-compliant, supports data rates up to 10.2Gbps and is 4K resolution video compatible.

Installer-friendly features include a buffered HDMI video output with EDID Minder for simplified EDID management between input source and display, input cable equalisation and comprehensive LED status display. Further simplifying installation are equalised HDMI signals up to 15m at 4K or 30m at 1080p/60 when used with Extron HDMI Pro cables.

Vision offers a new 1-to-4 HDMI splitter which uses a new 4K chipset. This unit has a much smaller chassis and lower price than model it replaces.

The Techconnect TC3-HDMI14 distribution amplifier has a fully revised design with faster 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. It supports 3D at 1080P (but not 4K), Deep Colour, and Lip Sync. It has automatic EDID management and noise reduction circuitry.

Vision say it supports a signal transmission distance of up to 15 metres at 4K/12-bit colour when used with a standard Vision 15 metre cable.

CYP promises ISE 2016 will have its largest show presence yet-- one involving the launch of no less than 30 AV solutions, including the 4x4 HDMI HDBaseT LTE Matrix.

The matrix features x2 mirrored HDMI outputs and audio de-embedding, enabling 4 sources to 6 displays. Signal transmission reaches up to 35m via Cat5e/6 and 60m via Cat6a/7, together with HD digital audio formats, control and Power over HDBaseT (PoH). Audio breakout provides de-embedded analog audio outputs for each HDBaseT zone (A to D).

Pakedge launches the RK-1-- a router "purpose designed" to handle gigabit service and multimedia applications while promising "enterprise-grade" reliability within a custom install-friendly design.

The RK-1 features 5 LAN, 2 WAN, 1 console port and 2 USB ports paired with best-in-class components and a dual-core processor. The result, the companys says, can simultaneously manage multiple high bandwidth, low latency traffic streams including 4K and HD video, uncompressed video, running VoIP telephone services, streaming camera feeds and automation control applications.

An intuitive management interface promises easy installation, with preconfigured Pakedge Zones making easy work of VLAN setup and easy segmentation of voice, video and data traffic into distinct sub-networks. Pakedge Zones propagate from the router, to the switch and down to the AP and connected devices, so a network with VLANS can be setup in minutes.
