NEW Scaling Switchers:FSR is launching two new seamless scaling switchers.

DV-MFMV-74:DV PRO – MultiVU – Seven Input Multi-Format Windowing Scaler – The DV-MFMV-74 is a 7 x 1 seamless windowing switcher that has seven multi-format inputs (4 HDMI, 2 DisplayPort, and 1 VGA/RGB/YPbPr) and one HDMI out that supports scaled resolutions up to 4k x 2k 30hz. The DV-MFMV-74 allows users to show up to four of the inputs on the same screen simultaneously in a single, dual, triple, or quad screen layout. Each input also has audio inputs available via captive screw terminals. The 1-rack unit high windowing switcher can be controlled from the front panel, via RS-232, or IP via the integrated GUI Control. The DV-MFMV-74 MultiVU 7 x 1 Windowing Switcher also easily integrates with FSR’s HuddleVU FLEX Collaboration Systems.

DV-MFSS-71:DV PRO – Seven Input Multi-Format Scaling Switcher – The DV-MFSS-71 is a 7 x 1 Scaling Switcher that has seven multi-format inputs (4 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 1 DVI-I, and 1 VGA/RGB/YPbPr) and one HDMI out that supports scaled resolutions up to 4k x 2k 30hz. Each input also has audio inputs available via captive screw terminals and has a stereo output as well. The 1-rack unit high scaling switcher can be controlled from the front panel, via RS-232, or IP via the integrated GUI Control. The DV-MFSS-71 Seven Input Multi-Format Scaling Switcher also easily integrates with FSR’s HuddleVU FLEX Collaboration Systems.

NEW HDMI Switchers:

DV-HSW4K-41 – The DV-HSW4K-41 is a 4 x 1 HDMI switcher that shares the same small footprint as its predecessor, the DV-HSW-41, but is capable of handling 4K x 2k. It can be controlled via front panel push-buttons or RS-232. The DV-HSW4K-41 is also an integral part of FSR’s HuddleVU Collaboration Systems.

DV-HSW-21A – The DV-HSW-21A is a 2 x 1 HDMI switcher capable of handling 4K x 2K resolutions in a small footprint. It has a locking 12v power supply and can be controlled via front panel push-buttons, contact closure, RS-232 via Phoenix 3-pin, or auto-sensing. The unit provides LED feedback for contact closures and will work with FSR’s HuddleVU Table Boxes for a compact 2 HDMI HuddleVU System.

DV-MFSW-21A – An HDMI + VGA & Audio to HDMI switcher, the DV-MFSW-21A is also capable of handling 4K x 2K resolutions in a small footprint, has a locking 12v power supply and can be controlled via front panel push-buttons, contact closure, or RS-232 via Phoenix 3-pin, or auto-sensing. The DV-MFSW-21A provides LED Feedback for contact closures and will work with HuddleVU Table Boxes for a compact VGA & HDMI HuddleVU System.

NEW HDBaseT modules:

HD-HPC-SP-Tx - FSR’s new 100 Meter HDBaseT Slim-Pack HDMI & VGA with Audio Switcher Transmitter has both HDMI and VGA with audio inputs as well as bi-directional Control (IR & RS-232) and Ethernet. The switcher has built-in auto-sensing circuitry to determine the active input and also has a front panel Input Select Button and a captive-screw terminal on the rear for contact closure trigger. The HD-HPC-SP-Tx transmitter is a true HDBaseT 5-Play device that transmits HD Video (up to 4K @30hz.), audio, bi-directional control (IR & RS-232), Ethernet, and power via 1 CAT-6A shielded cable out to 100 meters. The HD-HPC-SP-Tx works with any of FSR’s other 100 Meter HDBaseT Receivers and can be powered from either end (Tx to Rx or Rx to TX).

HD-HPCWP-Tx - FSR’s new 100 Meter HDBaseT 2-gang Decora style wall plate transmitter is a true HDBaseT 5-Play device that transmits HD Video (up to 4K @30hz.), audio, bi-directional control (IR & RS-232), Ethernet, and power via 1 CAT-6A shielded cable out to 100 meters. On the front of the wall plate it has an HDMI in and VGA Video In (HD-15 female) with audio In (1/8-inch Mini Jack), IR reader window, and input selector button. The HD-HPCWP-Tx is designed to work with any of FSR’s 100 Meter HDBaseT Receivers and receives its power from them as well. The rear of the wall plate contains Ethernet & HDBaseT RJ-45 Ports as well as captive screw terminals for IR-Out, RS-232, and +12v In & Out. The Ethernet & +12v Out have been designed to be used with FSR’s FLEX LT-200 3.5-inch Color Touch Panel with an integrated control system which can communicate back to your rack along with video, audio, and power all over 1 CAT-6A Shielded Cable up to 100m.

HIGHLIGHT: FLEX IO-16

The FLEX-IO16 I/O Interface Unit is a new addition to FSR’s Intelli-Tools line. It is a device that will provide 16 Ground Closure (switch) Inputs and 16 Lamp/LED Outputs as well as RS-232 & IP Communication to expand the control capabilities of FSR FLEX Controllers as well as interfacing with any third-party control system. The Serial & IP connections allow the IO-16 to function as an IP to Serial and Serial to IP translator/interface. The FLEX-IO16 I/O Interface Unit also has a GUI Control Program available that allows the set-up and programming of each of the 16 channels with its own command strings communicated during a button press, button release, or button hold. It also controls the Lamp/LED feedback conditions for each of the 16 connections.

The FLEX-IO16 I/O Interface Unit can be used with the FSR HuddleVU HV-T6 and HV-T3 Table Box models to convert button presses into serial commands to control various devices within a FLEX-controlled environment while also providing lamp/LED feedback.

When used in conjunction with FSR’s line of T3-MJ Table Mic Boxes, users can easily connect up to 16 T3-MJ’s and have lamp/LED feedback when the mute circuits are activated on a third-Party DSP Controller like Biamp, ClearOne, and others. The T3-MJ’s integrated momentary or maintain type switches are available with a variety of switch cap and LED colors. The switch (SPDT) contacts and LED wires terminate directly to the FLEX-IO16 which, in turn, provides one RS-232 Output or IP Output to easily integrate with a DSP unit.

UPDATES: Digital Ribbon Cable
