RGB Spectrum’s new Linx Prime switchers include built-in scaling with HDCP compliance of analog and digital inputs (DVI, HDMI, HD/3G-SDI, RGB, YUV and DVI/HDMI over fiber), which are converted and scaled as required to DVI/HDMI outputs — which RGB says resolves EDID compatibility issues between multi-resolution display devices.

Though scaling is common in single output presentation switchers, RGB Spectrum is among the first (including Extron and Crestron) to offer HDCP-compliant scaling in a matrix switcher. With the Linx Prime’s mix-and-match architecture, each unit can be custom-configured with just the required number of each I/O card type (field-upgradable). Output resolutions include 2048×1156, 1900×1200, and 1080p for single link and up to 3840×2400 for dual link. Embedded audio in HDMI signals up to 7.1 is also supported.

Linx Prime comprises three frame sizes: 8×8, 16×16 and 32×32. Cards and power supplies are user swappable and require no special tools for installation.
