Extron Electronics introduces the FOX II DP, a transmitter and receiver set for long haul transmission of HDCP-compliant DisplayPort video, multi-channel audio, RS-232 control, and IR control signals over fiber optic cabling.

The FOX II DP is designed for a wide range of applications requiring long distance transmission of high resolution content with the highest quality. It brings support for higher resolutions up to 2560x1600, multi-channel audio, an audio return channel, and IR support to the FOX Series. It uses Extron all-digital technology to deliver pixel-for-pixel DisplayPort computer-video images up to 2560x1600.

ZeeVee launches four new ZvPro models all built on the HDbridge 2000 Series backbone.

The first two are the ZvPro 820 and 810 both of which can encode and modulate (and send) unencrypted HDMI signals via coax (RF). The other two, the 620 and 610, only do component and VGA inputs. All of them claim to accept and broadcast 1080p/i, 720p and/or 480p/i video.

New ZvPro models are compliant with QAM and DVB-C standards and they are frequency-agile. They include 45 dBmV of output power plus integrated closed-captioning support, MPEG2 video and AC3 or MPEG 1 layer 2 audio encoding (varies by region), full color front-panel LCD with local and/or web-based configuration and fan cooling. Tuning is simple via an HDTV’s own built-in tuner, requiring nothing at each HDTV nor any home-run wiring.

It’s always amazed us at rAVe how many integrators overlook the simplest of profit-makers…the seats, supports, stands, tables, trolleys and other “furniture” that is designed to complement pro AV/IT technology.

One of the company’s setting an example in the field is Modul IT, a young European company with a growing business. We recently interviewed Haim Elallouf, Sales Director, to talk about Cordica Limited, the challenges, and how furniture might be the missing link in the product chain of many integrators.

Please tell us about Modul IT? How did it start?

We were already in the business of professional AV for more than 15 years, experiencing a lot of excitement, opportunities and success. This drove us to expend our activities to new markets and more opportunities. About two years ago, we decided to establish Modul IT as our professional AV furniture activity in Europe.

Extron Electronics announces the immediate availability of the VNR 100, a single channel recorder that digitally records and plays back high-definition computer graphics, video, audio, and data streamed in VN-Matrix systems.

It can simultaneously record and play back streaming content. This provides flexibility for recording and playback workflows, and can help increase the duty cycle of expensive source and presentation equipment. The VNR 100 presents a scalable solution that can be deployed in single source or multi-source applications.
