Chapter 1 Product Overview
This article is mainly about AURORA1600-4K, developed by OSEE with high
intelligent, which applied the 1U Multi-image Processor, which performs
multi-channels input signals displayed on one screen for surveillance. It
attaches, switches and zooms the video sources, and provides ideal visual
effect, flexible operation environment and easiness for configuration and
maintenance.
The device has the compact module structure, supports up to 16 channels of
12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, and up to 4 channels of SDI/SFP outputs, two
HDMI outputs, the resolution is up to 4K. Signals can be appointed to any
output for display freely, and it allows the user easily to set up a display system
in 1U frame with 4 inputs, 8 inputs, 12 inputs or 16 inputs.
The device integrates an internal control software to connect to and configure
the controller. You can configure multi-walls and multi-scene with the input
video sources, and set them at any position and in arbitrary size in the
operating interface of the software. Each video window has adequate
resolution to show very high-quality frame effects. The software is a
WYSIWYG editor and easy to use.
The 1U Multi-image Processor and its inner control software compose the
Multi-image system, and it is widely used in studio, transmission control rooms,
video conference center, general control center, TV Stations and so on.
