OVERVIEW

Orion X-series is a sophisticated switching system with many versatile features. It is a three-component system consisting of: transmitters at the video or computer source, a central switch, and receivers at the user station.

The Orion switch chassis is scalable by accepting 8-port I/O cards. The cards as well as the transmitters or receivers are available with either CATx or fiber interfaces. Each port of the switch is automatically configured to be an input or an output port depending on whether a transmitter or receiver unit is connected to it. This simplifies your system planning because you do not have to decide in advance, how many input or output ports – only the total number of ports.

Distances of the transmitters or receivers can be:

  • Up to 33,000 feet (10Km) using single-mode fiber cable
  • Up to 1,300 feet (400m) using multi-mode fiber cable
  • Up to 460 feet (140m) using CATx cable

The product supports a standard video resolution of 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz and all DVI single-link resolutions including high definition 1080p. Ultra high definition video up to 4K is supported at 4096 x 2160. Video sources running at the same resolution can be switched instantly with no delay or blanking which makes it ideal for command centers, broadcast applications, financial institutions, and many more. The receivers include an intuitive OSD for easy use and configuration at each user station through the attached USB keyboard and mouse.

Other capabilities optionally available are:

  • VGA input/output (with video scaling)
  • Dual-link DVI input/output
  • Dual-head DVI input/output
  • SD/HD/3G-SDI input (I/O)
  • HDMI 4K/60 input/output
  • DisplayPort 4K/60Hz input/output
  • Transparent USB 2.0
  • RS232/RS422 serial interface
  • Analog or digital audio
  • Redundant power supply
  • Rack mount kit (19")

Software utilities have been developed to enhance the functionality of the product. The utilities available are:

  • 1. JAVA Tool, Extended Switching and Presets
  • 2. #1 plus additional API
  • 3. SNMP and Syslog for unit monitoring
  • 4. Cascading / Stacking
  • 5. Multi-Screen Control
