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 6 inputs total: 4x DP 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 (connector type selectable per input at any given time) plus 2x 12G-SDI with loop-through. 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 up to 2x MAIN DL + 4x PIP DL layers (or 1x MAIN 4K + 2x PIP 4K). Advanced DSK is included with Smart key, Luma key, and Chroma key support. Image processing is real 4K60p 4:4:4 10/12-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.
About the P20
The Pixelhue P20 doubles up on the P10 across the board. The input bank goes to 8x DP 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 (selectable per input) plus 4x 12G-SDI with loop. Outputs are 8x HDMI 2.0 4K (up to 4096x2160@60Hz HDR, HDCP 2.2). 10G OPT fiber output mirrors the HDMI program for long-distance distribution. The 12-layer compositing engine runs in two modes: 2x MAIN DL + 10x PIP DL (switcher with deep layering) or 4x MAIN DL + 4x PIP DL (multi-output workflows). Advanced DSK keying — Smart key, Luma key, and Chroma key — plus Cut and Fill, virtual pixel mapping, projector edge blending, and multi-screen splicing for uneven divisions. An integrated multiviewer lets one operator monitor all sources on a single display. Real 4K60p 4:4:4 8/10/12-bit FPGA processing, BKG/LOGO storage, 4x AUX outputs, dual Gigabit Ethernet control, Genlock, and up to 128 stored presets. The P20 ships at 10.2 kg net (25.2 kg with flight case). Step up to the P20-DS when your install needs 12G-SDI program outputs or Dante audio.
