Magenta's fully digital Voyager Series of fibre-optic based products, which began shipping in 2011, extend, switch and distribute video (including HDCP protected content) and auxiliary signals digitally over fibre-optic cable.
The new Voyager 4-port core (now shipping) can serve as the heart of any transmitter or receiver and opens up an additional sphere of distribution options - use as a 1x4 distribution amplifier, as a 4x1 switch or as a daisy-chainable receiver with the ability to route signals in four different directions. The Voyager four-port core is also a key component in enabling Voyager matrix switching solutions up to 640 ports.
Also new (and now shipping) is the Voyager HDMI-SRx ScaleMax scaling receiver module. This component is ideal for applications that feature a mix of source video resolutions, and/or a mix of "native" display resolutions.
The re-engineered MultiView II lineup of products (STx, XRTx, DVI-Tx and T4 transmitters, plus the AK600, AK1200 and DVI-Rx1K receivers) all boast a new, external configuration scheme and status LEDs, updated and improved EDID & DDC modes of operation and improved sync control, all designed to make replicating 1080p (and higher) resolution video easier than ever before.
Having developed a reputation for plug-and-play ease of use along with superior replication quality, Magenta's HD-One Series now includes the HD-One DX500 - which provides UTP-based HDMI video (with HDCP) and embedded audio extension over a single cable to 152 metres - and the HD-One LX500, which adds support for two-way IR and RS-232 signals.
