The VIO 4K has been designed to convert any content (AV content like a live video, a Power Point
presentation, a DVD) from one format to another.
With the VIO 4K, you can fully control and operate the conversion environment in a world of multiple
possibilities. You may for example set up your outputs before plugging-in your sources, or add additional
cards to obtain a full 4K resolution display.
•The "all in one" solution for any conversion
•User-friendly and intuitive graphic interface
•Diverse selection of option cards for video and audio system expansion
•Flexible Audio/Stereo switching capability following the video input
•High performance scaling and video processing
•Advanced LED Wall functionalities
•10-bit processing 4:4:4
