Datapath Ltd, a renowned UK-based professional graphics and imaging specialist, proudly announces the release of its latest innovation, the Datapath x4. This standalone video wall controller and multi-display adapter is designed to enhance video wall configurations and digital signage with unparalleled flexibility and ease of use.
Revolutionizing Video Wall Configurations
The Datapath x4 is engineered to accept a standard single or dual link DVI video signal up to an impressive 4k x 4k resolution, delivering four distinct display outputs. Each output can be independently configured to display any part of the input image, supporting advanced features such as frame rate conversion, upscaling, cropping, and rotation for portrait displays. This adaptability makes the x4 an ideal choice for creating complex display arrangements that combine both landscape and portrait formats.
Versatile and Cost-Effective Solution
The Datapath x4 offers a cost-effective solution for building dynamic video walls. It allows for the seamless integration of multiple units to create expansive video wall installations, or it can be paired with Datapath’s Image4 graphics card to support configurations of up to 160 displays. This scalability makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from corporate presentations to large-scale public displays.
Ease of Installation and Operation
For digital signage applications, the Datapath x4 simplifies the installation and setup process, eliminating the need for on-location programming. Each of the four outputs can be driven as either DVI or analog RGB, and can be configured to represent any cropped region of the original input image. The x4 also features automatic genlock when frame rates match, as well as independent mirroring and rotation capabilities for creative display combinations.
