VIDEO PROCESSOR AND SET UP A SYSTEM
A video processor converts video input signals into viewable content. The video sources being converted are usually HDMI, DVI, or VGA signals from cable boxes, media players, or computers. These signals are then converted for displaying on TVs or projectors. The term “video processor” covers a variety of devices including matrix switchers, amplifiers/splitters, multiviewers, video walls, and presentation switchers.
Matrix Switcher
Matrix switchers are the most commonly utilized device in both commercial and residential
nvironments. They are capable of delivering 4K and 1080p video from multiple sources to multiple displays. These types of switchers typically scale resolutions and support audio like digital coax, SPDIF, and analog RCA. Common places for a matrix switcher would be a sports bar, mall, or anywhere visual imagery can make an impact.
Amplifier/Splitter
Amplifiers/splitters split and distribute a single video signal to multiple displays. They basically duplicate the same image across all displays. Amplifiers/splitters are used in many malls, retail shops, and transportation facilities for advertising and digital signage. These devices can also be combined with matrix switchers to save costs since matrix switchers are more expensive when more than eight TV displays are required.
Multiviewer
Multiviewers are the solution if the application requires a video processor to show multiple sources on a single display. Multiviewers typically have two to six HDMI input connections and one HDMI output for the display. These devices are found in places like business conference rooms, entertainment venues, schools, and restaurants.
