Christie Digital Systems Hedra Standard A KVM-enabled video wall processor with nine inputs

Product Overview

The Christie Hedra Standard (176-001102-01) is a KVM-enabled video wall processor that arranges, views, and manages nine inputs, sources, and streams with latency-free operation on canvases up to 16MP. Its TAA-compliant, Linux-based embedded hardware platform is purpose-built for secure, mission-critical environments. Seven USB Type-B KVM interfaces let operators control up to seven sources directly — point the mouse at a source and the keyboard follows. Creation Networks configures Hedra systems as part of the Christie Digital range.

Product Description

Hedra Standard brings the family's real-time embedded architecture to smaller control rooms and operator consoles. The processor avoids the latency and OS vulnerabilities of PC-based wall controllers, while hardware scaling with bilinear filtering preserves source quality at any window size. It drives up to four UHD displays in configurations up to 4x2 and 16MP, accepting both direct HDMI sources and IP-based streams in the same hybrid canvas. Fully integrated KVM functionality serves multiple users, and Freestyle Mode allows inputs to be freely overlapped, scaled, and positioned. Administration is on-screen, via API for control system integration, or through touch panel support, and power redundancy capability enables 24/7 operation. Its compact, secure design also suits mobile command centers where space is tight and data control is mandatory.

Key Features

• Nine Inputs with Integrated KVM — manage nine sources and operate up to seven directly via USB Type-B KVM connections.
• Canvases up to 16MP — drives up to four UHD displays in configurations up to 4x2.
• Secure TAA-Compliant Platform — Linux-based embedded hardware with a reduced attack surface.
• Real-Time, Ultra-Low Latency — operator interaction and live feeds stay immediate.
• Hardware Scaling — bilinear filtering keeps resized sources sharp.
• Hybrid Inputs — HDMI sources and IP-based streams in one layout.
• Freestyle Mode — overlap, scale, and position inputs anywhere on the canvas.
• Multi-User KVM — fully integrated keyboard, video, and mouse control for several operators.
• 24/7 Reliability — power redundancy capability for continuous-duty operation.

Typical Applications

Hedra Standard fits small control rooms, security and network operations centers, operator workspace consoles consolidating multiple displays, and mobile command centers. TAA compliance supports government, defense, and critical infrastructure procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose Hedra Standard over Pro-KVM or Pro-Video?
Hedra Standard is sized for nine sources and 16MP canvases — ideal for smaller control rooms and operator consoles. Step up to Pro-KVM (18 inputs, 14 KVM) or Pro-Video (27 inputs) for larger walls. Creation Networks can size the right model for your room.

How does the KVM workflow operate?
Connected sources are operated through seven USB Type-B KVM interfaces; the operator points the mouse at a source window and keyboard/mouse control follows automatically, without extra keystrokes or switching hardware.

Can it integrate with third-party control systems?
Yes. The API supports remote control integration, and touch panel support enables preset layout recall for operators.

Is it suitable for secure facilities?
The TAA-compliant embedded Linux platform is designed for mission-critical and government environments. Request a quote from Creation Networks to scope your installation.
