Christie Vista URS-1608 Universal Routing Switcher

The Christie Vista URS-1608 is an all-in-one matrix switcher that accepts multiple sources in any format (analog composite to digital 4K) and seamlessly routes any of these sources to any of 8 user-configurable outputs, each of which can be independently configured for any analog or digital output format.

The URS-1608 handles any input-output combination of computer and video formats with ease, including analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, and high/low resolution. With built-in integrated source monitoring and sophisticated keying, the URS-1608 accepts sources from analog composite to digital 4K and seamlessly routes them to any destination display. You won’t find any matrix switcher on the market today that can do what the URS-1608 does.

The URS-1608 performs all the processing to match the source to the output, including scaling, aspect ratio, color-space, and frame rate conversion repeats. Normally, these functions require additional equipment and complex, restrictive control systems, however with the URS-1608 the entire process is simplified, saving you time, money and resources.

Features

Universal input/output capabilities – mix and match multiple formats with one piece of equipment

Input capability – 16 inputs that can be a mix of analog BNC and DVI signals

Output capability – 8 outputs that natively support any display from component analog 480i to digital 4K

Built-in conversion for analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate – seamlessly route any source to any user-configurable output

Define properties for each output independent of each signal

Integrated source monitoring – real-time view of all 16 sources connected to the URS-1608 inputs on a single output, tiled into a 4 x 4 array

Overlay (key) capability – up to four sources can be layered onto each output for a multitude of needs, including background/foreground transitions, PIP windows, bugs, lower-third titling, tickers, messaging, sign windows and more

Single point of control for all processing and signal distribution functions from front panel, PC via Ethernet, or external control system

Small form factor - (LxWxH): 21.9 x 17.3 x 7.0" (556 x 439 x 178 mm). Additionally, only one piece of equipment is required so the overall space required on a rack is reduced

Each output individually supports rotation; enabling the creation of vertically oriented displays

Built-in image capture/Still Store functionality

Auto set-up feature

Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)

Simple cohesive control of all functions

Redundant hot swappable power supplies

Optional URS-IBSS High Speed Infiniband Still Store server

Optional stereoscopic support
