IDK Wins Best of Show at ISE

                   IDK 4K Switcher claims best of show at ISE

                           Fast switching of UHD/HDR Content

 

Brookfield CT, February 13, 2017--- IDK is pleased to be recognized with the AV Technology “Best of Show” status for the Integrated Systems Europe 2017 convention in Amsterdam for the MSD-7204UHD switcher.  This award is confirmation of the quality and ease of use that has become a hallmark of the MSD series of products. 

IDK’s MSD-7204UHDTB is a 4K UHD Digital Multi Switcher with built-in scan conversion that supports all VESA & HD resolutions up to true 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 (18Gbps) HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2. It enables users and integrators to implement a true 4K AV system with exceptional reliability and ease of use for multiple applications. The multi-format capable MSD provides seamless and predictable switching transitions between HDMI, DVI and universal analog format inputs. Only a single black frame is inserted between transitions and total switching execution times are less than one second and switching performance is independent of input format or protocol, providing an elegant and stress-free user experience, even when handling 18Gbps high resolution HDCP2.2 encrypted signals.

The user-oriented / user-friendly MSD-7204UHDTB includes many of the same features as other IDK MSD series Digital Multi Switchers.   “Awarding ISE ‘Best of Show’ laurels was incredibly difficult this year,” says Margot Douaihy,  editorial director for AV Technology magazine. “With more than 3,000 products on display at the RAI, representing a global proAV/IT industry, there are exciting developments in networked audio, 4K video, cloud control, connectivity, collaboration, and so more. However, the ‘Best of Show’ honor recognizes benefits for tech managers first and foremost, and offers readers a curated list of ‘can’t-miss’ solutions. Our team weighed the system or product’s uniqueness of the feature-set, perceived value proposition, ease of deployment and use, network impact, and reliability”.

Advanced IDK default settings eliminate the need for user configuration settings and enable immediate, out-of-the-box success. Routing signals to the desired displays remains simple, even if the format or aspect ratio of input signal is changed. Output resolution / format can be set separately for each output, to support sink devices operating at different resolutions or formats simultaneously. The MSD’s API enables implementation of third party control. However, the included “IQ-Control” app is an iOS® / Android® BYOD control environment providing an attractive and low cost alternative for a variety of use cases. The MSD-7204UHDTB enables systems architects and integrators to offer the most capable, advanced and client-pleasing AV systems that can be realized.  The unit is available and shipping now.
