Magenta Brings Future of AV Extension & Switching to China
World’s First All-Format Fiber Optic Signal Distribution Platform, Voyager, Launches in Shanghai & Hong Kong
New Milford, CT (PRWEB) October 5, 2010
Following a successful launch in the United States, Europe and Australia, Magenta Research officially debuted the new Voyager Series in China. AV consultants, system integrators and end users were invited to a reception on September 20th in Shanghai and September 22nd in Hong Kong to view the world’s first all-format fiber optic signal distribution platform, Voyager.
The Voyager Series enables pro-AV and digital signage customers to distribute multi-format high-bandwidth signals over fiber at significantly lower costs. Magenta’s Voyager Fiber Optic Signal Distribution Platform is an interoperable set of transmitters, receivers, distribution amplifiers and matrix switchers, which enables any end to end configuration for extension and switching of uncompressed multi-format video and audio, RS-232, IR and 480 Mbps USB 2.0 signals over fiber at distances up to 16.75MI/30KM.
"With the increasing use of fiber in China, Voyager’s unprecedented functionality, flexibility, performance and cost makes it a perfect fit for Digital Signage and Pro AV installations throughout the country and our Hong Kong based Applications, Sales and Support team is perfectly positioned to support our expanding customer base," says Anthony Waung, Managing Director of Magenta Research Asia.
The Voyager series uses a modular building block approach to deliver hundreds of different product configurations with numerous video and auxiliary signal types, fiber types and component types such as n-port transmitters, daisy-chain receivers, 1x7 distribution amplifiers and 8x8 to 320x320 scalable matrix switchers.
While the core FiberMAX engine enables the Voyager platform to define a new price-performance curve for AV distribution over fiber, the new product range also delivers an unprecedented number of unique features with real life benefits. Magenta’s innovative Flex-VCA architecture allows each Voyager transmitter and receiver to support a wide variety of analog and digital video formats through plug and play field interchangeable modules. The ability to easily field configure, upgrade and interchange signal types including video formats greatly increases flexibility in specification, procurement, installation and troubleshooting. With built in auto format conversion and delay free HDCP switching, sources and displays of all supported video types including HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, VGA and SDI can be interconnected on the same network without the need for external converters, thereby reducing both cost and the number of potential failure points.
For Installations with displays requiring mixed resolutions, the Voyager series utilizes Magenta’s unique ScaleMAX technology to prevent low quality up-scaling on high resolution displays. By configuring each source to the highest resolution and then using broadcast quality downscaling for lower resolution displays, ScaleMAX technology ensures optimal content resolution on each and every display.
Various products within the Voyager family have started shipping and will be available through Magenta's Hong Kong office, established in 2009, providing innovative products and solutions for the presentation, videoconferencing, staging and broadcast markets in Asia.
