Just Announced! Eight Configurations for AMX Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation Switchers
• New Models with Less Inputs at a Lower Cost
• New Models with DXLink Inputs
• New Models with 70/100V Amplifier
We are excited to announce new configurations of the 2012 Product of the Year, Enova DVX-3150HD. While our integrators feel the DVX meets an incredible need, there were many requests from the market to make it available in more configurations. They wanted a model with fewer inputs at a lower cost, the ability to bring sources in remotely via DXLink Inputs and models with 70/100V speaker amplification. AMX is exceeding expectations with extension of the range to eight including four 6×3 models and four 10x4s.
Complete details are available at AMX.com and in our new Pocket Guide. And be sure to visit us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for more updates.
Atlona at ISE 2012: 4X4 HDBaseT, More Wireless Coming
In addition to LinkCast wireless HD,”We’ll come out with commercial-grade wireless products really meant for integrators,” Atlona says. Plus, company debuts 4×4 HDBaseT switcher.
By Julie Jacobson, of Ce Pro
Fresh off its CEA Innovations Award win at CES 2012, Atlona touted its LinkCast wireless HD distribution system during Integrated Systems Europe (ISE 2012) in Amsterdam.
Based on technology from Amimon (WHDi), the LinkCast system enables the distribution of multiple HDMI sources to multiple displays wirelessly up to 40 feet.
The product is aimed primarily at PC-type sources, as a USB port is required for power. The unit supports uncompressed video resolutions up to 1080p HD and 1280×1024, including 3D video, with a latency of less than one millisecond, according to the company.

DENTAL LAB SIMULATES SMILES WITH KRAMER ELECTRONICS PRODUCTSA national academic dental training lab features 96 stations complete with high definition monitors and 1080p digital imaging. The stations provide a hands−on learning environment where dental students can perform dental procedures on simulated heads by following the instructions on their individual screens.
According to the dental lab installer, getting 1080P HD video to 96 monitors in a room was going to be a huge challenge. They were able to do it using 1080p resolution and CAT6 cables. In its switch from analog to digital, the lab replaced analog VGA monitors with 20−inch digital monitors. They are connected by the Kramer Electronics PT−571 and PT−572+ HDMI over twisted pair transmitters and receivers at each of the 12 pods. The room also has an extensive audio system with amplifiers, for clear sound to every student pod. Dental students will be well prepared to improve people’s smiles thanks to the state−of−the−art dental simulation lab connected by Kramer Electronics products.
