Consisting of a transmitter and receiver, the Arista ARD-3001 IP Flash CasterAV Over IP signal distribution system delivers uncompressed, zero-latency signal with broadcast quality scaling for stunning visuals. With support for USB, RS-232, and IR (control), it is ideal for AV and KVM signal extension, IP-based switching, video wall, and multi-view tasks. The IP Flash Caster’s attributes include HDMI 2.0a, HDR video, windowing and audio downmixing, audio embedding/de-embedding, and more.

The IP Flash Caster provides multi-source video compositing capabilities for multi-view, picture-in-picture (PIP), and picture and picture capabilities (PAP) within the AV signal distribution system. The IP Flash Caster’s multi-source video compositing capability allows each receiver to combine multiple video sources onto a single display to accomplish PIP and PAP.

The IP Flash Caster provides video-splitting and bezel correction capabilities to create a full video-wall of any size capabilities—without additional equipment. The system’s multi-source video compositing capability enables each receiver to automatically split an incoming video and render only a portion of the image as part of a video wall. Configurable bezel correction support compensates for the thickness of the bezel to hide the pixels needing to be obscured by the display bezel.

Arista’s IP Flash Caster redefines AV signal processing and distribution architecture by delivering a single, cost-effective, and scalable AV signal processing and distribution system that integrates the functionality of several costly, discreet, single-function components. AV integrators will find much to like with the product due to its ability to interact with more off-the-shelf AV products.
