Pixelhue F Series Video Switcher

Pixehue F4 Video Switcher

The Highest Performance

Pixelhue Flex View series- F4, designed for easy management of multiple displays for shows or visual management systems. Suitable for use with a variety of input formats and multiple display outputs.
F4, designed with the latest high-Performance FPGA Chipset, delivers reliable, stable, faster, and better image performance, and outputs non compressed 4k@60hz 4:4:4 10bits video. Built with a
focus on environmental protection, the Pixelhue-designed foundation is a great long-term solution, simplifying upgrades through modules for future use.

What’s better, the F4 features support for projectors and irregularly shaped displays, two features not available on the F4 Lite.

Ultimate flexibility through modular design

The F4 Processor is designed with 8 input slots and 6 output slots, allowing you to easily select I/O modules with different input and output connectors to match the visual system’s requirement.

More optional I / O modules will be provided for upgrades in the future. The F4 utilizes a modular design and supports 8 input and 6 output cards with a maximum of 32 inputs and 24 outputs. Each output card can offer up to 2K@60Hz loading capacity.

The F4 supports at most 48 SL mix layers, or 24 DL mix layers or 12 4K mix layers. It also supports a variety of input and output connectors, including DVI, DP, HDMI, and 3G SDI connectors, allowing easy customization for any project or show.

Reliable & worry-free operation

In this rapidly evolving market, reliable technology is the key to an outstanding event. The F4 allows you to configure the system to accommodate a variety of connectivity arrangements and display requirements. The F4 features dual power supplies, full machine data backup to local configuration, fast restore and can work perfectly 24/7. F4 also undergoes a series of rigorous drop tests, shock & vibration tests and thermal tests, ensuring it can survive in any kind of road trip or event environments.

Easy to Use

F4 works exceptionally well with our matching video processing software, TRITON. TRITON provides an offline mode and preediting functionality, which can directly import while on-site and migrate between different devices. This software is easy to master, and a sophisticated yet user-friendly interface guides you from beginning to end of any kind of event with as little complex operation as possible.

The F4 also improves on the F4 Lite with a larger 7” LCD display on the front panel for better MVR monitoring.

Total event control with U3 Controller

With the U3 event controller, satisfy any kind of event requirements such as stage performance, high-end auto shows, TV program recording, product launch events, or any kind of large-scale exhibition.
