4U high chassis for different project requirements
Your project can be accommodated to a 4U high device to serve the custom project requirements. Robust mechanics and logical interface design guarantee easy installation and operation. The chassis offers:

Immediate, remote check and supervision of device health
You can supervise and check visually the health of the remote chassis by the help of the remote Web based user interface. Continuous health service for supervision of fan rotation, external power supplies, internal power supplies and internal temperature of boards/chassis are possible. The status of these parameters is permanently displayed over the remote user interface while user can check all the status information in detail. The status of these parameters is saved to special log files also.

Highly redundant power connections
The chassis contains internal power supplies supporting all of the international mains electricity standards from 90V up to 265V. The optional second redundant power supplies give high reliability as they are:

• Fully redundant, sharing the system load among the units
• Hot swappable, so they can be exchanged during full operation
• Provide altogether 2 units for the 4U chassis

The system operation can be switched on and switched off by the mains switch on the front of the chassis.

Front LED and push buttons for setup and supervise the first steps
The front panel LED displays status information for setup and control. There are push buttons for navigation and control inside the setup to handle setting up of basic configuration information

• Setting of DHCP or fixed IP address and additional LAN parameters
• Function assignment of signal driving push buttons
• Setting of RS232C signals’ connection parameters
• OSD display settings
• Factory reset setting

Front panel push buttons for quick layout management
There is a set of push buttons for input signal and a separate set for output signal management. They can work for multiple purposes:

• The input buttons can select a certain input signal to be displayed on a certain output channel identified by the output button. This can be used for signal display one-by-one, usually for testing.
• The user can generate layouts and can assign them to push buttons. In this case the push of a certain button recalls the pre-designed layout on a rather straightforward way.

Disable of push button operation to prevent unauthorized access
Front panel push button operation can be disabled using a special system setting. In this case user can prevent un-authorized user action from the front panels and so improve system responsibility.

Easy connection to the world by interface connectors
The DMX101 products contain different control interfaces for the easy local or remote control

• 1 x DVI output connector to display local monitor for system setup and control
• 4 x USB2.0 connectors for firmware upgrade, save/reload configuration information or
  • 1 x local mouse for system control
  • 1 x local keyboard for system control

• 2 x LAN connection to be connected to TCP/IP networks, to be used for setup and remote control
• 1 x RS-232C connector to handle remote control commands

Convenient local control of the box by mouse, keyboard and local monitor
The DMX101 products provide chance for local control using the locally connected peripherals. Full functioning graphics user interface on the locally connected monitor handles user login and layout management by the mouse and keyboard. The operator sitting in front of the device can manage the full operation without any LAN connection. So system security can be enhanced significantly.

Modular chassis design to serve different size of projects
The modular chassis can accommodate different input boards and build up the custom configuration tailored to the project. The 4U high chassis can handle 4 x input boards and 4 x output boards.

Input and output boards for small and large configurations

• YUV 4:2:2

Universal L,R audio handling at the input ports & Universal audio handling at the output ports

New concept of sections to handle multiple users and services
The DMX101 family introduces the new concept of section. Each of the sections may have assigned input signals to handle, outputs to control and users with different access rights. The hierarchical user right system ensures user access and control to selected sections and so selected inputs and outputs only. The world class DMX101 products provide free setup for the administrator to

• define sections and name them
• assign specific input channels
• assign selected out channel
• define operation mode as presentation matrix, routing matrix or video processor
• assign users
• assign different rights for each user

Rather sophisticated architectures and operation modes can be designed and performed with these new tools.

The right number of input and output signals assigned to the users
The users of different sections may share input signals but have a distinct set of output signals to manage. The channel numbers can be set one-by-one and no restriction to map the 4-channels capability of the input and out boards.

Real time signal handling for perfect customer satisfaction
The DMX101 products perform all operations in real time. No drop of frames, no black frames or transitions can be experienced.

Remote preview of input signals for the total management of the system
The graphics user interface has the built-in option to display stamp sized preview of multiple input signals. This live preview makes possible the check the input signal validity and content by the operator continuously. Great chance to have the total overview what is happening and what must be displayed. This is a remote preview so the operator can see remotely without any direct access to any of the inputs.

Remote preview of output content for full supervision
The graphics user interface has the built-in option to display stamp sized preview of multiple output signals. This live preview makes possible to check the output signal validity and content by the operator continuously. Great chance to have the total overview what is happening and what is be displayed at a given moment. This is a remote preview so the operator can see remotely without any direct access to any of the output signals.

Professional HDCP handling
The products offer professional HDCP handling as supporting HDCP 1.4, 2.0 or 2.2 standards for the perfect integration of the boxes to complex environments. The user can set up at the input side to reflect handling of

• No HDCP
• HDCP 1.4
• HDCP 1.4 or 2.0 or 2.2

The device handles all HDCP standards at the output side depending on the peripheral connected. All the HDCP rules are strictly kept when displaying signals with different HDCP standard.

Perfect EDID handling
The EDID handling at the output and input side has been developed to support easy system integration. Different EDID handling method include the chance to develop custom EDID to be presented to special input sources.

Easy-to-use remote control by graphics user interface
