About the F8

The Highest Performance Pixelhue Flex View series- F8, designed for easy management of multiple displays for shows or visual management systems. Suitable for use with a variety of input formats and multiple display outputs. F8, designed with the latest high-Performance FPGA Chipset, delivers reliable, stable, faster, and better image performance, and outputs non compressed 4k@60hz 4:4:4 10bits video. Built with a focus on environmental protection, the Pixelhue designed foundation is a great long-term solution, simplifying upgrades through modules for future use. Ultimate flexibility through modular design The F8 Processor is designed with 8 input slots and 8 output slots, allowing you to easily select I/O modules with different input and output connectors to match the visual system’s requirement. More optional I / O modules will be provided for upgrades in the future. The F8 utilizes a modular design and supports 8 input and output cards with a maximum of 32 inputs and outputs. Each output card can offer up to 2K@60Hz loading capacity. The F8 supports at most 64 SL mix layers, or 32 DL mix layers or 16 4K mix layers. It also supports a variety of input and output connectors, including DVI, DP, HDMI, and 3G SDI connectors, allowing easy customization for any project or show. Reliable & worry-free operation In this rapidly evolving market, reliable technology is the key to an outstanding event. The F8 allows you to configure the system to accommodate a variety of connectivity arrangements and display requirements. The F8 features dual power supplies, full machine data backup to local configuration, fast restore and can work perfectly 24/7. F8 Lite also undergoes a series of rigorous drop tests, shock & vibration tests and thermal tests, ensuring it can survive in any kind of road trip or event environments. Easy to Use F8 works exceptionally well with our matching video processing software, TRITON. TRITON provides an offline mode and preediting functionality, which can directly import while on-site and migrate between different devices. This software is easy to master, and a sophisticated yet user-friendly interface guides you from beginning to end of any kind of event with as little complex operation as possible. Total event control with U3 Controller With the U3 event controller, satisfy any kind of event requirements such as stage performance, high-end auto shows, TV program recording, product launch events, or any kind of large-scale exhibition.

About the P10

The Pixelhue P10 is the entry model in the P Series of FPGA-based presentation switchers, aimed at small and mid-size live events. The input bank gives you 4 flex inputs: 4x DP 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 (one of the two connector types selectable per input at any given time) and 2x 12G-SDI. Outputs are 2x HDMI 2.0 4K (up to 4096x2160@60Hz HDR, HDCP 2.2) plus 6x HDMI 1.3 for legacy/secondary destinations. 10G OPT fiber extends a copy of the HDMI program up to 10 km on single-mode. The compositing engine handles either 2x 4K@60Hz + 4x 2K@60Hz or 3x 4K@60Hz layers — a 3-4K-layer engine compared to the P20's 4-4K. Image processing is real 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit FPGA; same control surface, BKG/LOGO storage, AUX outputs, dual Gigabit Ethernet control, and Genlock as the rest of the P Series. The P10 ships at 7.9 kg net (20.6 kg with flight case). Choose the P10 over the P20 when you need fewer 4K layers on screen at once and want lower weight/cost — and over the P20-DS when you don't need 12G-SDI output or Dante audio.
