1. Introduction
1.1 About Digicom Ark 3100SP Multi-screen Processor
Digicom Ark 3100SP is a new generation of Multi-screen signal processor developed by VTRON.
It features world leading technology such as fast system response, high safety, good signal
synchronization and perfect real-time display.
System input signal acquisition includes SD signal acquisition, HD signal acquisition, HDMI
signal acquisition, DUAL-LINK ultra-high resolution signal acquisition, DP signal acquisition,
SDI signal acquisition and optical signal acquisition. The processor also supports computer
graphical display signal (also called as desktop signal). After serials of processing (exchanging,
zooming in/out and overlapping) inside the processor, all of the collection signals can be displayed
with real-time on the display wall. It is suitable for control room, command center, operation and
maintenance center, data center, conference room, etc.
