Savant introduces 4K Ultra HD video over IP switching solution

Luxury smart home enabler Savant has announced the introduction of an ultra-high-performance pixel-perfect 4K video over IP switching platform that will give Savant integrators an edge delivering premium distributed A/V content to their clients.

Premium switching is a hallmark of Savant’s product lineup, and the new Savant Ultra HD video switching platform leverages the company’s rich history in telecom.

The new product line delivers 4K/60 4:4:4 HDR video distribution over IP with zero frame latency. Integration professionals will appreciate the convenience of a centralized 10GbE switch, enabling Ethernet connectivity throughout the project, with both fiber and copper options, says the company.

A transmit chassis for centralized sources and distributed receivers have been designed with ease of installation in mind, reducing the burden and complexity at the rack. Audio down-mixing capabilities and audio breakout options make the new switching platform a good match with Savant’s recently released Pro Audio 4 IP-based switch with unlimited audio zone support and access to all popular streaming services via Savant Music, the company adds.

The video and audio distribution capability of this new switch cost effectively meets the demand for the highest quality experience across any job size, with the added advantage of scalability only limited by the size of the network, allowing installations of from 2 – 128 zones or more, Savant says.

Advanced video processing features supported by the new platform include multi-video/video tiling, video wall and multi-switching applications, technologies pioneered by Savant and brought forward into this newest generation of A/V switching solutions.

Savant Systems, LLC is considered one of the fastest-growing smart home companies in the luxury and mid-markets. Savant’s Pro technology brings together the four pillars of automation – climate, lighting, entertainment and energy – in a single application interface for the homeowner.
