Calibre ships QuadVision HDMI 4K scaler-switcher with multiviewer and matrix output
Advanced solution that's created for effortless management of AV, Broadcast, IP signals.
The Calibre 4K QuadVision HDMI 4K scaler-switcher with integrated multi-windowing capabilities and matrix output modes is a powerful single solution for environments that need the ability to manage multiple AV, broadcast, IP images but for which a fully-featured scaler-switcher would not be cost-effective. The solution is now available for immediate delivery worldwide.
"Our scaler-switchers are increasingly being used in a range of demanding applications. We're delighted to make QuadVision available so soon after announcing it," said Willy Tsai, Managing Director at Calibre UK.
Delivering Outstanding Quality
With support for 4K@4:4:4 video and HDMI bandwidth of 600MHz, the 4K QuadVision is compliant with HDCP1.X/2.2. It provides four HDMI2.0 input ports and two HDMI output ports, together with a balanced stereo output. LPCM audio up to 7.1 channels at 192kHz are supported as inputs or outputs.
Flexibility is key to Multiviewer and Matrix outputs
Two display modes supported and these are Matrix and Multiviewer.
Example options of multiviewer mode include four screens of equal size; three smaller screens with a 'master' screen; two screens side-by-side; or a single full screen with picture-in-picture. Independent audio source selection is available in all Multiviewer modes.
The matrix mode supports input and output resolutions of up to 1080p@60hz with a shared single audio source (outputs are mirrored at higher resolutions).
Lightweight and environmentally friendly
The 4K QuadVision is both light in weight (3.4kgs) and compact (438mm x 49mm x 276mm), making it suitable for deployment in confined spaces. It is housed in a stylish black aluminium chassis, and consumes only 27.5W of power
“With its flexible functionality, excellent performance, simplicity of installation, the 4K QuadVision scaler-switcher is an ideal choice for a wide range of environments and applications that require the highest quality images at an affordable price. These include control rooms, videoconferencing, collaborationand meetingspaces, boardrooms, education, eSports and gaming,” added Tsai.

Calibre Makes LED Displays Even Safer, Easier to Deploy
New AiO family mnimises possibility of electrical hazards, shortens installation time
Calibre announces a unique set of features of its recently-introduced AiO (All-in-One) LED Display.
“From an image quality point of view, it can be difficult for customers to choose between one LED display and another,” said Willy Tsai, Managing Director at Calibre UK. “With the development of the new AiO LED Display, we chose to focus on functionality that is less visible – but that is no less important when it comes to the practicalities of deploying videowalls. The result of that development work is an LED display that not only features outstanding image quality, but that is easier and faster to install than alternative solutions – and is also significantly safer in operation.”
The AiO LED Display features an integrated power control system with low standby power consumption and an efficient power supply – minimising long term cost of ownership as well as being more environmentally friendly. Critically, however, the power consumption of the full screen body is clearly marked and is consistent throughout. This is in contrast with a typical LED wall which is regulated by the LED modules: the power consumption of these modules after assembly is not clear, meaning that incorrectly assembled units may cause overload or even fire. With the AiO, the specifications and warning signs are clear to the user at a glance, thus avoiding any electrical hazards and making it safer to use.
Here, company management, senior technicians, engineers and designers will be able to gain a unique insight into the future and product pathways for Calibre processing and solutions. Calibre presentations will be given by the newly promoted George Koumis, Product Marketing and Business Development at Calibre. An accomplished engineer, George Koumis has worked for Calibre for three years in product management and technical business development roles. Prior to this he worked in product and engineering at Barco and Folsom Research.

Ease and convenience of installation and ongoing operation and maintenance were also key design goals for the AiO. Its all-in-one architecture - Calibre LEDView series scaler/switchers are built-in - together with its slim design (only 38mm) and light weight (116kgs/255.7lbs for the 118in 1.8mm pixel pitch LEDFusion A118, and 125kgs/275.5lbs for the 1.5mm pixel pitch 130in QUAD130) mean that it can be installed by three people in less than an hour – significantly faster than is typically possible.
Easily accessible front panel maintenance means that an individual LED module can, if necessary, be replaced within 10 seconds. Brightness can be simply and quickly adjusted either via the supplied remote or an app.
The AiO also features remarkable image quality with its fine pixel pitches, >3,000 Hz refresh rate, superior colour gamut and contrast ratio of 5,000:1.
“The new AiO family takes the concept of LED displays to the next level, bringing important new functionality that sets the family apart from competing solutions,” concluded Tsai.

Calibre 130" All-in-One LED Wall Now Shipping !!!
- Details
Bradford, Yorkshire, UK, May 2019: Calibre UK announces that the FHDQ130 130” AiO (All-in-One) LED Wall is available for immediate delivery.
Powered by the in-built Calibre’s LEDView series scaler/switcher bringing UltraHD capability to LED screens, the FHDQ130 is a 130" Full HD LED Videowall that, unlike some competing products, is fully CE, CB and UL approved.
Weighing just 125 kilograms/275.5lbs it can be built ready to run in under an hour by three people.
Maintenance is similarly straightforward: a single module can be replaced in less than ten seconds. Control of the AiO is equally simple, via either a remote or an app. The AiO LED display also responds to the growing focus on minimising energy consumption: in standby mode, it consumes less than 0.5 Watts.
The AiO is constructed from a four-in-one SMD LED that measures 1.5mm pitch for outstanding picture quality and clarity. It can be positioned in portrait and landscape mode and is one of the thinnest screens available on the market measuring just 3.8mm in depth.
It has multiple inputs including HDMI and 3G-SDI for live in-camera use making this the perfect product for demanding applications including professional AV, Staging, Broadcast, Houses of Worship, medical, corporate AV and education and much more.
“The AiO the result of feedback from our customers requiring a single solution that minimises set up time, is plug-and-play and ready to go,” said Willy Tsai, Managing Director at Calibre UK. “Our solutions are increasingly used in a verity of challenging environments requiring higher brightness levels, clarity and better colours. We are delighted to be delivering them to market so soon after announcing them, and we’re sure they will find many admirers among our existing and new customers.”
The award-winning product was developed with sister company Optoma - also part of Coretronic – the AiO is designed to address one of the biggest drawbacks to LED display – the time it takes to deploy them.
Fresh from being launched at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt during April and at the Calibre UK official launch in Taipei this month, the AiO solution will make its Asian debut at InfoComm South East Asia trade show (Calibre Stand E62 at Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Hall 98, Thailand from 15-17 May 2019).
