PDS-901 3G Audio/Video Switch Box

The PDS series is designed to meet today’s requirements for a high-quality, easy-to-use and fast seamless switcher with more digital inputs at an affordable price. The PDS is offered in three models: PDS-701 3G, PDS-901 3G and PDS-902 3G. Thanks to its straightforward setup and operation the PDS is a perfect fit for live events, boardrooms, hotel ballrooms, houses of worship, education and training facilities and fixed installations.

Three models

The PDS-901 3G and PDS-902 3G models feature four DVI-I inputs with full HDCP 1.0 support, whereas the PDS-701 3G features two DVI-I inputs. All models include one 3G/HD/SD SDI and four universal analog inputs. All analog and DVI inputs support the EDID 1.3 specification. Users can capture and store up to three images that can be used as a LOGO source during the presentation. Built-in test patterns are also provided.

Program output

All models offer simultaneous program output via the DVI and analog connectors. The PDS-902 3G and PDS-901 3G models also include an SDI output supporting SD/HD/3G rates and BarcoLink for easy connection to your Barco projectors. In addition, the PDS-902 3G offers a preview output that can be set at different resolution than the program output. Users have the option of displaying one of three signals on the preview output: program, preview or test pattern.

The PDS series won a Commercial Integrator BEST Award at InfoComm 2013.
