Rainier 3G

Datasheet (1.5Mb)

SDI/CVBS Multiviewer with Built-In Router and Loop Outputs.

Key Features

Dynamic Controls: Built-in 8×8 crosspoint switch enables powerful multiviewing by managing multiple inputs over two outputs.
Scalable Architecture: Start with monitoring eight inputs and cascade up to 8 individual units to monitor 64 inputs.
Reliable Engineering: No Single Point of Failure ensures system integrity if a module fails, and an optional redundant power supply offers increased security.
Extensive Video Controls: Include free-scaling windows up to full screen size, PiP layering, flexible layout configurations and OSD settings.

Overview

The Rainier 3G multiviewer allows monitoring a mix of 3G/HD/SD-SDI and CVBS signals on a single screen. It can take up to eight sources in an unit and deliver two sets of free-scaling quad-views over HDMI/DVI outputs. Two SDI multiviewer outputs are supported for monitoring at distance.

Featuring internal and external cascading with multiple units, the Rainier 3G dynamically expands multiview from 4 up to 64 sources. Each unit can also incorporate a 8×8 crosspoint switch to achieve flexible routing, and eight SDI loop outputs allowing for signal preview or distribution.

With scalable design, no single point of failure architecture and power redundancy, the Rainier 3G is an indispensable block for building versatile and reliable monitoring systems.

Features

Support up to eight SDI (3G/HD/SD) / CVBS (NTSC/PAL) sources and eight SDI loop outputs per unit.
Automatic sensing of input signals.
Support two DVI-I (HDMI via adapter) and mirrored SDI multiviewer outputs.
Built-in 8×8 crosspoint switch enables switching any source signal within the unit to any one or multiple windows.
Support two DVI-I inputs for cascading or taking multimedia inputs as image/video backgrounds.
Internal cascade allows grouping and displaying all eight sources on one screen.
Multiple units cascade (up to 8 units) via DVI cabling expands multiview display up to 64 sources.
Video controls include free-scaling windows with aspect ratio control, adjustable safe area, and various OSD settings.
Audio output supports HDMI/SDI embedded and AES digital (via breakout cable) with delay adjustment.
Dynamic software control from distance over TCP/IP.
Up to 26 presets can be saved and recalled.
Support AC and DC power redundancy for mission-critical monitoring applications.
