PRODUCT DATA SHEET

MEDIAEDGE® is a multi-channel, multi­location delivery system of either high- or
standard-definition (HD or SD) video
using standard TCP/IP networks and HD/
SD display devices. Comprised of server,
encoder, client software, and set-top
box (STB) components, this flexible and
modular system is ideal for point-of-sale,
corporate, and other video-retrieval and
digital-signage applications.

The HDMA-4000Sync is perfect for
applications that demand that high­quality synchronized HD playback across

Supports Scheduled Playback and
Video-on-Demand (VOD) Playback

In addition to simply playing back HD
video, the HDMA-400 0Sync unit can
be used for scheduled playback, where
video content is played back according
to a user-defined schedule. Viewers can
also access content on-demand, either
by using the supplied remote control,
or through a third-party touch panel that
operates over an RS-232 serial interface.

Compact Design Suitable for Any
Location or Application

The HDMA-4000Sync unit is a compact
size of around 6 in. (W) x 10 in. (D) x 2
in. (H) and only about 4.5 lbs. in weight,
but contains all the required functions
from video content storage to playback.
As such, any place with a television or
PC monitor can be used as a screening
location.

Capable of Accepting DVD/LD
Player-compatible Commands

HDMA-4000 units are able to accept
commands (subsets) compatible with
commercial Pioneer DVD/LD players. This
enables a smooth transition from DVD/
LD players to HD, making it easy for art
galleries, museums, and other public
buildings to upgrade their existing DVD
or LD video systems to HD.

Genlock-driven Video Playback

If you need your solution to deliver
video to multiple displays with precise
timing, such as a video wall animation,
the HDMA-4000Sync model is perfect
for you. Each HDMA-4000Sync unit
features tri-level and black burst sync
input support, giving you the ability to
synchronize up to 32 HDMA-4000Sync
units together using a single genlock
source.
