New PTN Presentation Switcher - COMING Soon !!!

PTN will release a new HDBaseT presentation switcher in November 2013. This product deploys the latest HDBaseT Chipset technology by Valens.

3 x HDMI and 2 x VGA Inputs are scalable to various output resolutions and switched to a standard HDMI or HDMI over CAT6 (HDBaseT) output simultaneously. Analog VGA inputs are scaled/converted to digital.

Audio can be de-embedded from the HDMI inputs and sent to the stereo audio output for analog audio amplification. Audio can be embedded from the analog audio inputs on to the HDMI/HDBaseT outputs. This great for displays with HDMI only inputs.  A voice-over microphone input is available in standard line or phantom power input.

5 InfraRed output ports are available for control of auxiliary equipment via the IR input or RS232 ports. 

The HDBaseT output includes PoE (Power over Ethernet), this means the HDBaseT receiver does not require a power supply. The HDBaseT receiver can also send IR commands back to the switcher to control auxiliary equipment

PTN will follow up this product release with an HDBaseT Receiver with a built-in amplifier. This will reduce cabling runs to the speakers, as the receiver is generally positioned near the projector in/on the ceiling. All audio signals will be set via the HD BaseT CAT6 cabling

The analog sunset has begun, and PTN is showing that they are ready for these exciting times.

HYBRID 3D DISPLAY SHOWS 2D IMAGES CLEARLY

A prototype display has been developed that allows viewers with stereo glasses to watch in 3D while others without the specs enjoy clear quality 2D images.The developments made by researchers at the University of California in Santa Cruz could lead to hybrid displays being produced as well as boosting the market for 3D enabled screens by making the technology more versatile. Students involved in the project are already looking to set up a company based on the technology.

AMX launches meeting room tool

AMX has unveiled Enzo, a tool to access, present and share information during meetings.

It can retrieve content from multiple locations including USB or cloud drives and web pages. Furthermore meeting participants can load files to a Dropbox folder and access in the meeting using a QR code. When the presentation is over the link to Dropbox is broken and the files are purged.

When meetings are over participants do not need to log out or wait for updates and the unit can be connected to an AMX control system for control and automation.
