Magenta Pathfinder provides a scalable, zero-latency, KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse & transparent USB 2.0) extension and switching solution for 4K and HD sources capable of more than 3,000 high-quality endpoints using standard IT network switches.
Mark Armon, Product Manager of tvONE, says, “Pathfinder delivers the performance required to support the extreme demands of mission-critical control and collaboration including medical, live broadcast and control room operations, whilst remaining intuitive and simple to set up and use. Its performance is truly exceptional providing exact and artefact-free HD and 4K video which is also flicker and stutter free.”
Pathfinder offers plug-and-play setup on standard Cat6 or fiber-optic network systems with no configuration of endpoints. It can extend and mix 4K and HD sources creating a flexible, wide-reaching KVM matrixing solution, making Pathfinder ideal for hospitality, education, retail, command centers and other applications. The use of standard network switches not only minimizes total cost of ownership, but also enhances security, as it allows customers to benefit from the latest IT security advances and easy access to advanced communication protocols.
tvONE is offering Magenta Pathfinder in two configurations. The Pathfinder 800 series offers DisplayPort 1.2 support at 4K60 at 4:4:4 at a data rate of up to 10Gbps and the Pathfinder 500 series offers DVI-I, HDMI and VGA support at a 2K60 with HDCP1.4 at a data rate of 1Gbps.
A standout visual feature of Pathfinder is that the hardware encoders and decoders are encased in the color magenta, representing our support of breast cancer awareness and the pink ribbon. tvONE happily makes a donation towards breast cancer research for each unit sold. Learn more here.
