support a variety of input, output and windowing capabilities. It features high performance
video scaling capable of producing very high quality images.
X3 offers six card cages that support various combinations of input and output cards for
DVI, VGA, HDMI, CVBS, SDI and USB (for media files play) or video sources. Hundreds
of additional video or graphic sources can be input to the X3 using the RGBlink AVDXP
Matrix and Router. Multiple X3 can be cascaded to create very large display arrays.
A dedicated, high-speed video/graphic bus maintains real-time performance even under
heavy loading of inputs. Compared with other videowall processors, X3 extends two
main important performance for presentation application. One is seamless switching
between the inputs, the other comes with local control panel option. These advantages
