Pixelhue Q8 Switcher is high-performance multi-screen management system designed for easy management of multiple layers and displays for shows or visual management systems.
Pixelhue Q8, designed for easy management of multiple displays for shows or visual management systems. The Q8 is designed with 48 4K simultaneous inputs and 16 4K simultaneous outputs, where any of the outputs can be programmed as AUX outputs for comfort monitors or relays. The Q8 also boast 2 4K multi-viewer outputs, a redundant power supply, Dante and genlock synchronisation.
A single input card for the Q8 has 12 4K connections; 4x HDMI 2.0, 4x DP 1.2, 4x 12G-SDI. Where the card supports 8 4K/60Hz simultaneous inputs, meaning that fully populated Q8 gives access to 48 4K inputs simultaneously.
A single output card for the Q8 has 12 4K connections; 4x HDMI 2.0, 4x 12G-SDI, 4x Fibre OPT. Where each output card supports up to 8 4K mix layers.
The Q8 can be easily controlled via the 7-inch LCD front panel, U5 or U5 Pro controllers, web GUI or Stream Deck allowing operators easy access to high performing features such as output splicing, format conversion, mapping, geometry/colour correction, Chroma and Luma keying.
