Extron has released the MGP 641 xi multi-window processors for scaling and presenting up to four 4K/60 source signals on a single canvas.

The exclusive Vector 4K scaling engine ensures downscaled and upscaled content is presented with unequalled image quality.

“System designers and integrators asked for an upgrade to the popular MGP 641 that provides all of the existing capabilities but with a DTP3 output and annotation support,” Extron chief marketing officer Casey Hall says.

“The MGP 641 xi easily scales and presents up to four windows of 4K HDMI video on a single display and the LinkLicense upgrade enables annotation that can also be saved, making it one of the best solutions for a diverse array of environments.”

The MGP 641 xi scaling engine, rack-mountable form factor and wide variety of presentation and transition effects all combine to create a flexible signal processing solution for corporate boardrooms, training rooms and live environments such as public auditoriums.

Supporting four 12G-SDI while the DTP3 output drives a remote display located up to 100m away with identical content, the MGP 641 xi SDI model’s multi-window processors provide customisable window layouts, video and logo keying, window transition effects as well as source and output rotation.

In addition to four HDMI inputs that support data rates up to 18Gbps, the HDCP 2.3-compliant processors include an HDMI background input for presenting live, non-scaled content behind the source windows.

Two-channel embedded audio can be extracted or passed to the video output, while annotations can include free-hand drawing, shapes, lines and pointer arrows, each in selectable colours.

It is equally effective in mission-critical venues that require display of live information, from a situation room or control room to cascading multiple MGP 641 xi units in a command centre.
