Versatile 4K Connectivity
The P80 presentation switcher features versatile 4K connectivity including HDMl 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G-SDl. The P80 is designed with 12x fixed concurrent 4K inputs and a swappable input card with support for P_HDMI2.0_DP1.2_OPT Link Card and 08 HDMI2.0+DP1.2+12G-SD Input Card, making the P80 more capable. The P80 comes with 8x HDMl2.0 main output connectors allowing for up to 4x 4K concurrent outputs (copy mode) or 8x DL concurrent outputs (split mode).
The P80 also supports 4x 4K flex outputs, 4x 12G-SDI matrix outputs, and 2x dedicated Multiviewer outputs. Additionally, 8x 10G SFP optical ports are offered to copy the HDMI 2.0 outputs, allowing for up to 4x 4K outputs.
Powerful Functionalities
The P80 employs FPGA-based high-performance image enhancement architecture and real 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit internal video processing. The P80 supports up to 8x 4K mixing main layers and 4x 4K mixing PIP layers. Up to 256 presets and 256 layer presets can be saved for easy recall. This powerful multi-screen and multi-layer presentation switcher is ideal for medium to large-scale live events and permanent video wall installations requiring high reliability, unrivaled ease of use, optimal image quality and cutting-edge live 4K processing features. Seamless transitions, smooth video display and various visual effects maximize audience engagement.
Flex Output
The P80 comes with 4x HDMI 2.0 for flex outputs which can be freely configured as independent screens or edge - blended widescreens. Transition effects such as fade, test patterns, AOl, virtual pixels, and more are available for the flex screens. Up to 4x 4K mixing PIP layers and 4x still BKG are supported, allowing for adjustment of layer position, size and Z - order, layer effects including flip, crop and mask, layer color adjustment, and layer presets. In addition, flex outputs support Multiviewer. Auxiliary devices such as teleprompters also can be connected to the flex output connectors. The flex outputs expand the range of the application scenarios of the P80.
SDI Matrix
4x 12G - SDI are provided for matrix outputs, allowing any content from the input sources such as HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 12G - SDI, MVR, PGM and flex outputs to be mapped to the SDI matrix. SDI matrix offers more flexible output options for users and enhances the versatility of the P80.
Flexible Control Options
The P80 is exceptionally easy to control via any of the following options:
• 7 - inch graphical touchscreen on the front panel
• Event controller U5/U5 Pro
• Event management software PixelFlow
• Third - party control system Stream Deck (Companion integrated into the P80)
In addition, multiple P80 units can be controlled simultaneously from a single event controller/PC with PixelFlow when they are on the same LAN and in the same project.
