Fx4
One box. Four outputs.
Millions of possibilities.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONTROLLER
Advancements in digital signage allow much greater freedom in creating
and deploying any scale signage projects. At the forefront of this is the
Datapath Fx4, a multi-faceted stand alone display controller. The Fx4
supports a choice of inputs, high bandwidth loop-through as well as 4
genlocked outputs in either DisplayPort or HDMI.
The Fx4 features a DisplayPort1.2 main input alongside two HDMI1.4 inputs
oering 4K 4096 x 2160p at 60fps. The intuitive user interface allows users to
determine which input is used.
FEATURES
Pre-load an image for use when signal is not detected
Engineering the world’s best visual solutions
Innite creative congurations
UHD / 4K60 input, four HD 1080p outputs
Rotates, crops, scales, mirrors and bezel corrects
Multiple inputs for exible connectivity (Dual HDMI1.4 or single
DisplayPort1.2 inputs)
HDCP1.4 support on all inputs and outputs
True stand-alone operation: Fx4 can adapt to changes in inputs by
adjusting all scale factors
Network or USB interfaces allow platform independent control
(MAC OSX 10.13 & later)

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Each output monitor can take its input from any region of the input image
as all of the required cropping, scaling, rotation and frame-rate conversion
is handled by the Fx4 hardware. These regions can overlap to allow any
output to replicate another or can be congured to support any creative
splice of the source material. This allows the support of many non-
rectangular screen arrangements, as well as any mix of monitor orientations
allowing users to create an almost unlimited multi-monitor canvas.
The Fx4 also allows users to pre-load an image for immediate display in
those cases when the media source or cables malfunction and no signal
is being received.
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
The Datapath Fx4 has dual ethernet ports to allow users to add the device
to their networks. Only one Datapath Fx4 in the chain requires connection
to the physical LAN as ethernet loop through is supported on the second
port, meaning multiple devices can be connected.
WALL DESIGNER
Datapath’s hugely popular multi-screen design tool, Wall Designer has also
been updated to incorporate Fx4. Wall Designer allows users to add displays
from the ever expanding database of monitors, visualise their content by
adding inputs and adjusting display regions and nally instantly program
all Datapath Fx4s either via USB or the network ports.
