HARMAN
extends industry leadership in Networked AV by delivering the first low-latency
4K60 4:4:4 encoders and decoders that distribute video over Gigabit Ethernet
networks
ISE (Stand #1-F6), AMSTERDAM — HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video,
lighting and control systems, including networked AV, today announced AMX N2400
Series video encoders and decoders, the first video-over-IP solutions to
deliver full-quality 4K content over Gigabit Ethernet networks with
near-imperceptible latency. With support for 4K video at 60Hz and 4:4:4 chroma,
the N2400 Series joins a full lineup of cost-effective 4K solutions from HARMAN
that enable businesses and active learning environments to bring ultra-high-definition
video to viewers.
“The 4K market is accelerating rapidly, and
more businesses and institutions want to deliver top-tier video content to
create the best possible experience for their customers,” said Andy Whitehead, General Manager
Networked AV, HARMAN Professional Solutions. “The new AMX N2400 Series
enables universities, houses of worship, sporting arenas and corporations to quickly
deliver true cinema-quality 4K video to hundreds of displays simultaneously.”
With N2400 Series encoders and decoders,
users can instantly distribute 4K video without compromising quality. The new
series uses JPEG 2000 encoding to deliver content at native frame rate and
color space over cost-effective standard Gigabit Ethernet with just two frames
of latency. With support for HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, the N2400 Series is
compatible with all the latest 4K sources and displays.
N2400 encoders and decoders are easy and
cost effective to integrate with existing video-distribution infrastructures.
Because the N2400 Series can be PoE+ powered, the new encoders and decoders
operate by either standard 12VDC power, or by a simple Ethernet connection from
the local network switch. N2400 encoders and decoders also use the same control
APIs, software, and easy-to-use web interfaces as existing AMX Networked AV
solutions, making integration fast and intuitive.
The new N2400 Series joins a growing family
of 4K Ultra HD over IP solutions from HARMAN that provide flexible and highly
scalable networked-AV distribution, including the NMX-ENC-N2412A stand-alone
encoder, the NMX-ENC-N2412A-C encoder card, and the NMX-DEC-2422A stand-alone
decoder. Alongside the AMX N2300 Series, which distributes 4K30 4:2:0 video
over GbE, AMX N2400 encoders and decoders represent class-leading Networked AV
products that enable businesses and institutions to reach customers with
top-quality content, faster than ever before.
