Description: Contractor shall provide the Lightware 16 x 24 Router or equal, Lightware Control Panel or equal, Lightware Input and Output Cards or equal, and Spyder Shotbox Controller or equal. Equipment specifications MX32x.0DVI-Pro is the highest performance modular expandable DVI routing switcher that offers up to 16 inputs and up to 24 outputs. Multiple type input and output cards (DVI; Fiber and CAT5) can be used in mixed format that allows the most flexible and integrated solution on the market. Each input and output card contains 8 channels, and any combination can be used in a single frame. For short distances up to 50 meters the DVI or CAT5 I/O cards are suggested, for longer distances fiber solution is suggested. Single Fiber Technology: Single fiber technology offers the latest, state of the art digital signal transmission. Only one multimode fiber cable is used per one DVI signal. Single fiber technology lowers the system infrastructure cost and isolates sources and receivers from ground loops and hum noises. MX16x16DVI-Pro fiber crosspoint matrix switcher supports all DVI-D resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 2048x1080. All outputs of the DVI matrix router are reclocked for stable, jitter free signal transmission. Each DVI output powers fiber optic DVI cables on +5V pin, that allows transmission of DVI signals for long distances. The unit can be controlled either by RS232 / RS422 port or TCP/IP LAN connection or by built in website. Specifications: Hybrid fiber, DVI and CAT5 input and output capabilities Single Fiber Technology Rugged Neutrik fiber connectors for rental applications DVI signal transmission over one CAT5 cable Routing from 8x8 up to 32x32 single link DVI signals 50 meter DVI cable compensation on all DVI and RJ45 inputs Field-upgradeable, modular interface design Web page hosting capabilities 1920x1200 and 2048x1080 maximal resolutions Front panel buttons control Advanced EDID Management RS 232 or RS422 and Ethernet control.
