Decentralized Architecture - DigiLinX uses a distributed architecture that allows the hardware
and the processing power to be spread out across a TCP/IP network. This leverages many of the
advantages of using TCP/IP over traditional analog systems. Traditionally, a video signal is transmitted
over long cables runs that degrade the quality of the signal and can increase the project costs by
requiring multiple cable runs per display. Using a decentralized IP based system preserves the HD
quality of the signal and saves money by requiring only one CAT5 cable for audio,video,and control
of the display.
Compressed and Uncompressed Video - Video can be distributed in a compressed or
uncompressed form. Sending video uncompressed allows the HD quality to be preserved during
distribution on a gigabit network. However, not all installations have a gigabit network or need
uncompressed HD quality. For those projects the ViewLinX can be configured to use NetStreams
MotionXT
™
Video Compression. If at a later date, video quality needs change, the ViewLinX can
be re-configured to use uncompressed video.
Unlimited Displays - Using TCP/IP as a distribution method also renders limitations on the
number of displays obsolete. TCP/IP treats each ViewLinX as just another device on the network.
By using TCP/IP's multicast protocol DigiLinX easily manages the network traffic. NetStreams
StreamNet™ technology keeps each zone synchronized so that all zones play within 500
microseconds of each other, preventing an echo effect and keeping the audio and video in synch.
SD/HD Video Decoder - Each ViewLinX converts a DigiLinX IP stream (compressed or
uncompressed) back into SD or HD content and then outputs it into the appropriate signal output
type. A ViewLinX can output H Sync,Vsync,Y/G/CVBS, Pb/B/C, and Pr/R signals through BNC
connectors and includes a HD 15 connector for VGA signals.
DualDrive - ViewLinX DualDrive technology can automatically determine which signal type is
being used and route the signal to the appropriate connector. This is ideal for situations where a
display must display VGA and video signals. Dual Drive allows both BNC and DB-15 connectors to
be connected. The ViewLinX can also be programmed to switch the displays input based on the
source signal.
ViewLinX greatly simplifies the design and installation of large multi-zone audio/video distribution systems. HD and SD quality multimedia can
be distributed to virtually unlimited number of displays by placing a ViewLinX at each display, There is also no need to include separate
components for controlling the display, its all included in the ViewLinX. The DigiLinX system also contains control for sources and displays and
transports audio, video and control over one CAT5 with TCP/IP, meaning there is no need to wire a separate, expensive parallel infrastucture for
control.

ViewLinX VL9100-CS
Audio Decoder - In addition to outputting video the ViewLinX is
capable of outputting analog (line level and balanced) audio and digital
(S/PDIF) audio. These audio outputs are ideal for situations where the
zone does not have an amplifier and the display also functions as the
speakers are used.
Additional Features - XVO (extended Video Output) allows the
display to plug into a 2 gang multimedia port that is connected up to
50 meters from a ViewLinX providing a very clean installation. The
multimedia port and ViewLinX output can both be connected
enabling 1 ViewLinX to drive up to 3 displays with the source content.
The ViewLinX includes 2 macro controlled contact closures that can
be used to trigger projector screens. It also includes an input sense
that can trigger a macro making ideal for use in museums or kiosks
that need content started when motion is detected.
Mounting Options - The VL9100-CS can be rack mounted, wall
mounted, table mounted, or left freestanding. The 1U high ½ rack
width chassis can be mounted in a 19" rack by itself or coupled with
another VL9100-CS. Each VL9100-CS also includes mounting plates
that allow it to be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling. It can also be
left freestanding.
StreamNet Connected - NetStreams Patent-pending StreamNet
Technology provides the backbone for DigiLinX. StreamNet
technology and ensures that audio between all zones are within 500
microseconds of each other, StreamNet Connected devices work
seamlessly together,and can be updated in the future as new features
become available.
