DescriptionThe Z8t LED video controller is designed for high-end display deployments that require considerable pixel-pushing power. This controller supports 5G Ethernet port output or 10G optical fiber output, with a loading capacity of up to 23.59 million pixels, support for single-direction width up to 16,384 pixels. The modular architecture allows operators to change out boards and rearrange input and output cards on the fly. This means the same chassis may be used for a wide range of project kinds, instead of needing a distinct unit for each work.The Z8t’s real-time scaling, ultra-low latency processing and HDR compatibility makes it flexible enough to accommodate demanding video pipelines, from live broadcast feeds to virtual production environments. High color depth output and multi-layer display help to preserve image fidelity when complex compositions are output. Frame multiplexing and frame multiplication (up to 4x) support multi-camera configurations that require synchronous output fusion. ShutterLock and Adaptive Sync technology, offered with compatible receiving card chipsets, significantly refines camera-to-LED timing for XR and virtual production operations.With high pixel-per-port capacity, the Z8t reduces cabling and hardware connection needs, simplifying setup for ultra-long, ultra-high and ultra-large screen layouts. Loop redundancy on compatible output boards adds resilience for installations where uptime is critical, while the accompanying color management toolkit – including color curves, 3D LUT, gamut and brightness control – helps huge multi-cabinet walls seem visually consistent. The device is controlled by LAN, RS232 or the ColorAdapt software. You can save several settings and apply them during a project.Input Interface2 swappable input boards per device max 4K@60Hz input per boardHDMI 2.0 input board option: 2 HDMI 2.0 ports, each up to 4096×2160@60HzOption of DisplayPort 1.2 input board: 2pcs DP 1.2 ports, up to 4096×2160@60Hz per channelOptional 12G-SDI input board: 2 x 12G-SDI connectors, each up to 4096×2160@60Hz3 in 1 input board option: 1pc HDMI 2.1 1pc DP 1.4 1pc 12G-SDI, all ports allow loop, max 4096×2160@60Hz per channelST2110 input board Option 1pc ST2110 input, support uncompressed 4096×2160@60Hz, 12-bit RGB444/YCbCr444, single channelInput frame rate range 23.98Hz-240HzOutput InterfacesUp to 2 exchangeable output boards per unit; on one device only matching board types can be linked5G Ethernet output board: 4pcs 5G receiving cards Neutrik Ethernet ports, 5Gb/s per port10G optical fiber output board, 2-port 2pcs Neutrik fiber ports, single mode duplex LC fiber, 10Gb/s per10G optical fiber output board (4 port) : 4个 Neutrik fiber ports setup as 2 primary 2 backup portsMax. output loading capacity: Up to 23.59 million pixels Width support: Up to 16,384 pixelsLoop redundancy available on single or several connected devicesRecommended to be used with i9 receiving card, some functionalities may be limited when used with i9s receiving cardsVideo Input CapabilitiesHDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 boards offer resolutions of 4096×2160 and 3840×2160 with up to 12-bit YCbCr/RGB color depth12G-SDI board support 4096×2160 and 3840×2160 at 10 bit YCbCr 4:2:2.
