EXTENDER IS DYNAMIC ON CABLE COMPENSATION
Smart-e’s new CAT extender enables picture quality compensation for CAT AV systems controlled via remote control. Part of Smart-e’s SmartLynx range, SLX-RX214 is said to be a superior CAT receiver featuring dynamic EQ and skew compensation, automatically adjusting and restoring picture quality for systems with differing cable lengths.

Settings are pre-programmed at installation by selecting the cable length between each user, and picture quality is automatically adjusted for the specific cable lengths when the system is activated.

Designed for use in the demanding commercial sector, SLX-RX214 can be used in conjunction with Smart-e’s CAT to CAT matrix range smartCore which enables the sharing of AV resources building-wide via smartiP Smart-e’s advanced software interface, and the SNX-2112, the company’s boardroom solution.

SLX-RX214 extends video, stereo audio and IR/RS232 signals over CAT cabling up to 300m, featuring wide bandwidth IR transmission, discrete connectors and high ground loop immunity. Supported video signals include dual RGBHV, CVBS, YUV, YPrPb, Y/C and RGBs with stereo line level audio. HDTV up to 1080p and UXGA compatible, this unit is easy to install and provides a cost-effective solution to overcome picture degradation.

HIGH BRIGHTNESS LCDS DEBUT AT PANASONIC
First two models in Panasonic’s LCD range for reception areas and small scale digital signage have hit the street running for use in high brightness locations.

These 32 and 42in LCDs provides stunning image quality. There’s also a built-in Freeview tuner and an IPS Panel providing a 178° horizontal viewing angle for clear imaging, easy to see from any position. RS-232C capability also makes for easy remote control.

"Our new LCD series is perfect for bright environments where aesthetics are essential,” says Panasonic’s Marketing Manager Enrique Robledo, “so the frame is more appealing than some of our other small displays. These types of displays are in high demand for SMB installations and the customisation features are a great solution for stores or users wanting to display their own graphics."

For multiple installations, data can be transferred to an SD card and copied on to other screens using the cloning settings: so there is no need to set each display separately with the remote controller. Initial Screen Customisation is also beneficial for hospitality and small signage applications as the menu on the boot screen can be modified to include company information or logos.

These 32 and 42in displays are available now exclusively from Midwich and are priced respectively at £599 and £899 plus VAT.
