The future-proofed matrix backplanes are able to switch to 12.8 Gigabit per second data rates, allowing

transportation of the next generation HDMI, 4K x 2K, 3D and DisplayPort 1.1 video signals. All Input boards

e.g. DVI-I, 3G-SDI, etc. convert their respective Input signals to the widest and broadest standard for all

existing video signals – uncompressed HDMI (including embedded audio). Output boards convert the
