Zero-frame latency for natural, real-time monitoring, communication and collaboration, synchronized across displays.
As part of a Terra solution, the Christie® Terra Transmitter processes audiovisual sources and control signals to deliver uncompressed, zero-frame latency, artifact-free content over 10G networks. The Terra Transmitter supports video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz and accepts multiple content and control connections, including HDMI 2.0, USB, HDCP 2.2, DisplayPort 1.2, serial RS-232, EDID and more. This powerful and flexible component does not require additional devices to process signals.
Featuring front-facing LED indicators, the Terra Transmitter provides quick status reports for increased ease-of-operation, system validation and user-confidence. SDVoE-compliant and supporting a wide range of video formats, the Terra Transmitter functions seamlessly as part of a Christie Terra solution or third-party SDVoE components, displays and devices to create complete AV-over-IP distribution, processing and KVM systems.
Key features
