Christie Digital Systems - 176-002103-01 - Hedra Pro-Video; Hedra Video Wall processor with 27 HDMI inputs and 6 outputs.

Product Overview

The Christie Hedra Pro-Video (176-002103-01) is a video wall processor that arranges, views, and manages up to 27 inputs, sources, and streams with latency-free operation on video walls up to 48MP. Built on a TAA-compliant, Linux-based embedded hardware platform, it is designed for secure, mission-critical monitoring environments. Operators can switch layouts remotely or from a central interface as control room requirements change. Creation Networks configures Hedra processors as part of the Christie Digital range.

Product Description

Hedra Pro-Video is the input-dense member of the Hedra family, accepting 27 HDMI inputs and IP-based streams in the same canvas. Its real-time embedded architecture avoids the latency and OS attack surface of PC-based processors, while hardware scaling with bilinear filtering keeps every source clean as it is resized across the wall. The processor drives up to four UHD displays standard and supports wall configurations up to 4x4, 8x2, 6x4, or 12x2 (48MP) with the additional output license. Freestyle Mode allows inputs to be freely overlapped, scaled, and positioned anywhere, and administration is handled on-screen, through an API for control system integration, or via touch panel. Power redundancy capability supports 24/7 operation in control rooms and TAA compliance suits mobile command and government deployments.

Key Features

• 27 Inputs — the highest input count in the Hedra family for source-dense monitoring walls.
• Walls up to 48MP — four UHD outputs standard, expandable to 4x4, 8x2, 6x4, or 12x2 configurations with the output license.
• Secure TAA-Compliant Platform — Linux-based embedded hardware purpose-built for mission-critical use.
• Real-Time Architecture — ultra-low latency keeps live feeds and operator interaction immediate.
• Hardware Scaling — bilinear filtering preserves video quality at any window size.
• Hybrid Inputs — mixes direct HDMI sources with IP-based streams in one layout.
• Freestyle Mode — overlap, scale, and position any source anywhere on the canvas.
• 24/7 Reliability — power redundancy capability for continuous operation.
• Flexible Control — on-screen administration, API for remote control, and touch panel support.

Typical Applications

Hedra Pro-Video serves control rooms and security operations centers monitoring many simultaneous feeds, network operations centers, traffic and utility monitoring, broadcast monitoring walls, and mobile command centers. TAA compliance supports government and defense procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pro-Video differ from Hedra Pro-KVM?
Pro-Video maximizes input count at 27 sources for monitoring-heavy walls, while Pro-KVM trades some inputs (18) for 14 integrated KVM connections that let operators control sources directly. Creation Networks can help you select the right model.

Can operators change layouts remotely?
Yes. Layouts can be switched from a central interface or remotely, and the API allows third-party control systems and touch panels to trigger preset configurations.

What size video wall can it drive?
Four UHD displays standard; with the additional output license it supports configurations up to 4x4, 8x2, 6x4, or 12x2 and canvases up to 48MP.

Is it appropriate for secure government facilities?
The TAA-compliant embedded Linux platform reduces attack surface compared with PC-based processors, making it suitable for government, defense, and critical infrastructure control rooms. Request a quote from Creation Networks to scope your system.
