IPVU

IP-to-HDMI Monitoring Gateway

The IPVU is a compact dual-channel IP-to-HDMI converter that’s perfect for displaying IP sources and a multiviewer’s IP outputs on HD and 4K UHD HDMI displays. The IPVU offers an integrated IP to HDMI gateway that can be installed on a rack shelf or mounted behind the display. It provides the missing link enabling you to view any IP source, or to connect an IP multiviewer’s output to a display.

FEATURES

Key Features
  • Dual HDMI 2.0b outputs
  • Dual media ports:
    • 2x SFP28 cages that support 10 GbE or 25 GbE 
    • For use in hitless SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundancy
    • In-band management and control available
  • 1 GbE Interface for out-of-band management and control
  • Input routing control via GV Orbit or RollCall
  • Seamless switching between two streams:
    • Make-before-break
    • Break-before-make (with output freeze frame)
  • Low processing delay (<1 frame) for critical monitoring applications
  • Native support for video resolution of 720p to 2160p
  • 4K UHD IP input support in quad-flow 2SI, quad-flow SDQS and single raster
  • Static HDMI metadata for HDR support
