Empower your events

Since 2004, ImagePROs have been the go-to solution, ensuring live events are

successful – both in terms of scaling images correctly to ﬁ t any format and o ering

the very best image quality within each format.

For video professionals, the ImagePRO is the ultimate multi-functional problem

solver. All of the ImagePROs support format conversion, scaling, and switching. When

4K is required, both the ImagePRO-II and the ImagePRO-4K are the go-to boxes.

When you need maximum processing power, the ImagePRO-4K provides extreme

performance with ultra-low latency, 12-bit internal processing and up to 4K60p 4:4:4

10bit signals. No matter what format you work in, you can be sure it will be scaled

and converted accurately.

Easily the best

ImagePRO-4K makes it incredibly easy to get sensational results. In terms of performance, it utilizes industry-speciﬁ c scaling algorithms designed for the lowest latency and best image quality to process signals up to 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit.

Operation and conﬁ guration are easily managed from the front panel or the Event Master Toolset, with the ability to preview upcoming sources on the front panel. With a similar menu structure across the line, even the newest ImagePRO feels familiar.

What does 12-bit bring you?

8-bit precision

Matrix mode: all the tools in one box

Not only is the ImagePRO a great converter, it also acts as a fantastic multi-format scaler and switcher. That’s three boxes in one – without the need to worry about connectivity or compatibility.

Pros that go for the ImagePRO-4K ﬁ nd themselves working with the equivalent of six ImagePROs in one box. Imagine the possibilities that will o er upcoming events and installations.

12-bit processing for better images in every format

To keep you up-to-spec with the demands of today’s 4K market, all ImagePRO models boast 12-bit internal processing as standard. The jump from 8- to 12-bit processing is exponential. No matter the input or output format, your signals are always processed with 12-bit accuracy, creating better scaling and conversion.

The result is simple: faster and more accurate processing that leads to lower latency and the ﬁ nest levels of detail in each format – even if the output is 8-bit. The ImagePRO-4K also opens the door to using full HDR signals.

Fantastic return on investment

This combination of extreme ﬂ exibility

This combination of extreme ﬂ exibility and quality gives a fantastic return on investment and a long product lifetime. Designed and built to survive the road, the ImagePRO-4K keeps earning.

With modular cards shared by the Event Master family of products, it is ﬁ eldserviceable, keeping it on the job and not on the shelf. Down time and shelf time are kept to a minimum, and show time to the max.

Should new signal formats and connectors emerge in the future, the ImagePRO-4K is also ﬁ eld-upgradeable by changing the modular input and output cards.

Being a scaler, switcher, converter, matrix switcher, even a reference sync generator, the many uses save the expense of carrying multiple devices to perform multiple tasks.

When it comes to shipping and racking, the small size of the ImagePRO-4K will save you space and shipping costs.

LED at your ﬁ ngertips

Need to slice and dice LED signals? The ImagePRO does it with ease. Either chop up single inputs across several connectors or drive multiple walls from multiple sources. The LED set-up menu will guide you through the process to achieve pixel perfect images.

There was never a second thought when it came to adopting the ImagePRO-4K. Looking at the current state of the market and the need to push more pixels, the ImagePRO-4K is the logical step. The ability to take the latest highres inputs along with the processing power and reliability made early adoption an easy decision for Rentex and our clients.
