Datapath FX4/H 4K 60Hz Display Controller with HDCP and Loop Through

The Datapath Fx4/H is an amazing stand-alone display controller that features multiple inputs, high-bandwidth loop-through as well as 4 genlocked HDMI 1.4 outputs. The DATAPATH FX4/H is a high-performance Display Wall Controller that is a part of Datapath's next-generation video wall controllers.

Filling the gap in digital signage type requirements, Datapath designed this display wall controller to meet customers’ demands for further flexibility in creation and deployment for small, medium, to large scale signage solutions. This device contains a DisplayPort 1.2 main input alongside two HDMI 1.4 inputs that will support up to 4K/60 resolutions or UHD 2160p at 30 fps respectively, with an intuitive user interface that allows users to determine which input is used.

Inside, the Datapath FX4/H is a brilliantly designed hardware system that allows each output monitor to take its input from any region of the input image, as well all of the required cropping, scaling, rotation, and frame-rate conversions. These regions can then overlap to allow any output to replicate another or can be configured to support any creative splice of the source material. This allows the support of many non-rectangular screen arrangements with uneven gaps, including any mix of monitor orientations. For example, high quality downscaling allows the display of a 4k source on a single output, while other outputs can crop and upscale to create an almost unlimited multi-screen canvas. As an added bonus, when using the display wall controller in a digital signage type application users can pre-load an image for immediate display situations when the media source or cables malfunction and no signal is being received.

Another enhancement that has been built into the Datapath FX4/H is featured in its network connectivity abilities and Wall Designer multi-screen design tool. The device has dual Ethernet ports which allow users to add the device to their networks. With that, only one Datapath FX4/H in the chain requires connection to the physical LAN as the Ethernet loop-through is supported on the second port, meaning multiple devices can be connected (daisy chained). With an updated version of Wall Designer users can now add displays from the ever-expanding database of monitors, visualize their content by adding inputs and adjusting display regions and now instantly program all Datapath FX4/H's either via USB or the network ports, adding another layer of digital signage flexibility.

Any business, from restaurants, bars, to high-end studios, showrooms, or retail outlets, will instantly notice the amazing difference of using a quality made display wall controller for their digital signage type applications. The Datapath FX4/H, a powerhouse in display wall controllers, at a very cost-effective price, that supports industry-leading standards in high-quality 4K resolutions, and comes backed by a 3 Year warranty from Datapath.
