Solecis® 5x1 4K Multi-Format Digital Switcher

TM

with DXLink

SDX-514M-DX (FG1010-355)

Overview
The Solecis SDX is a family of small digital AV switchers. The 5x1 4K Multi-Format
Solecis is a 4K and Ultra High Definition (UHD) capable solution that provides five
user connection points and includes simplified local control which routes the
selected signal to both a DXLink and HDMI output. This provides a low cost solution
that combines a DXLink Transmitter and digital switcher into a single small form
factor device that is commonly used at a table.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

Solecis Digital Switchers are ideal for use in huddle spaces or small classrooms to provide simple switching for
multiple sources. In larger rooms with multiple work spaces, a Solecis at each table or desk allows users to share
content with the work group or the entire room. In even larger integrated environments Solecis digital switchers
can provide easy to use source point switching and distance transmission over DXLink to an Enova DVX or DGX for
hub-style building or campus-wide distribution.

FEATURES

 4K and Ultra High Definition (UHD) Support – Experience high-quality video resolution for 4K devices
 Multiple Video, Audio and Ethernet Connections – All the connections you need at the conference table

including audio, video, control and network access

 Switch Inputs Without the Need for a Central Controller – Provides low cost solution for huddle spaces

and classrooms

 Works with HydraPort Single Button or Keypad Modules – Provides an elegant installation in a table or

lectern

 Built-in Support for AxLink Keypads – Forwards keypad commands to a central controller over Ethernet

eliminating the need for a separate AxLink cable run
