1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LBS Series is a high performance Link BridgeTM Universal Matrix
Switcher System that provides up to 16x16 video switching for HDMI/
DVI signals. It supports 12-bit deep color resolutions up to 1080p and
1920x1200@60Hz with multi-channel digital audio, such as LPCM 7.1CH,
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD. Standard versions of the
LBS support all optical switching, or hybrid optical/electrical switching,
for HDMI/DVI signals. When configured for optical switching, only one
fiber is required per input or output port. In addition, the distance between
the switch and HDMI/DVI devices can be up to 400m when connected
by fiber cable. The I/O ports in the LBS can be configured in multiples of
8, thus supporting 8x8, 8x16, up to 16x16 matrix size. Appendix B
describes the I/O cards available for LBS Universal Matrix Switcher.
The LBS comes in a 3-RU packaging design, and has option for single
or dual power supply.
The LBS supports jitter-free, high-quality HDMI/DVI Display with several
EDID functions for independent display resolution at per-port basis. Types
of switching control available: manual control panel, standard
RS-232, or Ethernet Web GUI and Telnet control.
