Orion X-series is a sophisticated switching system with many versatile features. It is a three-component system consisting of: transmitters at the video or computer source, a central switch, and receivers at the user station.

The switch chassis is scalable by accepting 8-port I/O cards. The cards as well as the transmitters or receivers are available with either CATx or fiber interfaces. Each port of the switch is automatically configured to be an input or an output port depending on whether a transmitter or receiver unit is connected to it. This simplifies your system planning because you do not have to decide in advance, how many input or output ports – only the total number of ports.

Distances of the transmitters or receivers can be:

• Up to 33,000 feet (10Km) using single-mode fiber cable
• Up to 1,300 feet (400m) using multi-mode fiber cable
• Up to 460 feet (140m) using CATx cable

The product supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz and all DVI single-link resolutions including high definition 1080p. Video sources running at the same resolution can be switched instantly with no delay or blanking which makes it ideal for command centers, broadcast applications, financial institutions, and many more. The receivers include an intuitive OSD for easy use and configuration at each user station through the attached USB keyboard and mouse.

Other capabilities optionally available are:

• VGA input
• Dual-link DVI input/output
• SD/HD/3G-SDI input
• HDMI input/output
