British image processing manufacturer Calibre will use InfoComm as the platform to
show several HQUltra processing innovations in the Americas for the first time.

Additionally, visitors to the Calibre stand can play a true to life 1980’s themed
Arcade game on a giant 4K LED video walls that will be powered by LEDView scaler
technology. The individual who gets the overall highest-score across the show days
will win their choice of a LEDView or HQView 4K scaler-switcher.

“The entire range of HQUltra 4K scaler-switchers are designed to be future proof,
reliable and produce outstanding image quality. As well as video scaling and
switching we have models that also perform audio switching. All products and
technologies are supported by the Americas expert team,’ says Tim Brooksbank,
CEO at Calibre UK.

Calibre is showing the latest products in the HQUltra line of 4K compatible ultra-fast
scaler-switchers. As the industry’s fastest single channel scaler-switchers,
HQUltraFast promises input channel switching in typical 0.25 seconds.

For video switching and scaling, Calibre offers the HQView625 presentation
switcher, which is ideal for entertainment, visitor attractions, live events and
corporate installations requiring scaling of 4K video content.

On show with a live interactive demo will be Calibre’s first ever-combined video &
audio 4K scaler-switchers (HQView620A, HQView625A, HQView630A and
HQView670A). These are aimed at reducing the level of equipment in installations
and making installation simple.

As well as powerful image processing performance, these presentation scaler-
switchers have analogue and embedded audio switching, microphone inputs with
mixer, balanced line-level outputs and integral 15W+15WRMS stereo power
amplifier, all within a 1U enclosure.

All models use a dedicated LED videowall image scaling engine based on Calibre’s
proprietary class-leading HQUltra 4K image processing technology switching. They
are able to scale with outstanding clarity and switch input channels typically in a
quarter of a second.

The flagship LED screen models are LEDView730 and LEDView770. These scalers
provide a wide range of input connectivity and can handle 11 inputs and provide 3
duplicate video outputs including 4K HDMI, DVI/HDMI and 3G SDI, ideal for today’s
digitally connected ProAV world where LED screens are becoming commonplace.
Modern digital formats and analogue legacy formats are supported. LEDView770
adds inbuilt 4K HDBaseT In and Out. For in-camera use, a Genlock input is provided
that is compatible with bi or tri-level sync or black and burst.

Two additional cost-effective 4K HQUltraFast LED scaler-switcher models are
LEDView720 with 8 video inputs and 2 duplicate inputs for fixed installations, digital
signage and mobile LED trucks and the LEDView725 with 9 video inputs and 3
duplicate outputs, including 4K HDBaseT In and Out.

For rental-staging applications, the multi-function HQUltra730 and HQUltra770
models provide presentation scaler-switcher, LED scaler-switcher and general
purpose scaling and scan conversion capabilities within a single unit. These can be
repurposed as required through the simple to use front panel menu.
