The successful testing of BarnColor-Native 4k, conducted by many of our partners and end users, has played a pivotal role in ensuring its market readiness. Read one of the good examples here:
The newest member of the BarnColor family, the BarnColor-Native-4k is now available having undergone extensive testing at customer sites and at our UK partner- Media Engineers workshop in leafy Finsbury Park. Most high-bandwidth HDMI extenders rely on underlying optics that convert the signal to SDi internally with the following problems;
1. Only SMPTE video rasters/framerates are carried reliably
2. 12Gbit/sec is the maximum data rate, limiting use to 4K, 4:2:2 and 60P.
3. EDID not faithfully returned to the graphics card/LED processor.
If you need to take square or even portrait-shaped signals to video-wall elements then you’re out of luck with most other manufacturers. Look at these measurements to see how well BarnColor-Native-4K handles these signals.
Like all the BarnColor boxes these do not touch any of the wavelengths used by others in the multiplex allowing you to combine SDi, Ethernet, Audio (analogue and MADI) as well as other signals types via the SFP-Flex variant. You can even combine BarnColor with third party optics – a recent customer example is allowing four bi-directional 12G video signals to sit happily on the same dark-fibre as the client’s existing 100Gig network over QSFP to their data centre (many kilometers away from their studio).
