Extron Electronics recently announced Vector 4K, the latest generation of Extron
scaling engines specifically engineered for critical-quality 4K signal processing and
the most demanding 4K applications. For over 20 years, Extron has been
engineering scaling and signal processing solutions that deliver uncompromised
image quality and performance. As a result, Extron has become an industry leader
in scaling technology, designing best-in-class products renowned for their quality,
reliability, and ease of use. The Vector 4K scaling engine delivers the power and
precision required to manage the high pixel counts of today’s 4K displays and
content, whether providing clean, upscaled images when integrating legacy sources
with 4K displays, or faithfully rendering a source’s detail and integrity when
downscaling 4K content to HD displays.
“Delivering the best customer support always begins with having the right products
for our customers, engineered by Extron from the ground up to meet our standards
for the best possible quality and performance,” says Andrew Edwards, President of
Extron. “Our no-compromise approach to engineering extends to the scaling engines
and video processing algorithms we’ve developed over the years leading up to
Vector 4K, which delivers the highest level of image quality for 4K applications.”
Vector 4K was developed internally by Extron’s expert team of signal processing
engineers. Extron engineers have crafted patented image processing technologies
that set the industry benchmark for visual performance. Features such as bicubic
scaling, 30-bit color depth, and 4:4:4 chroma sampling ensure very high image
quality while preserving detail present in the original source material. With scaling
technology developed in-house, Extron can design to exacting specifications and
have absolute control over the end product.
In addition to advanced video processing, Vector 4K delivers consistent, reliable
performance that takes the guesswork out of signal capture and source
management. Featuring the industry’s most accurate source capture technology, and
the ability to manually adjust image parameters with fine precision, even the most
unique signal formats are displayed with speed and dependability. Additionally,
scalers and video processors with Vector 4K scaling include a variety of convenient,
user-friendly features, such as EDID and HDCP management that streamline
integration and optimize system performance.
Vector 4K scaling technology is featured in the Extron DTP CrossPoint 4K Series of
scaling presentation matrix switchers, as well as the Extron XTP SFR HD 4K fiber
optic scaling receiver.
