Product Overview
The Christie TXO 102 SO Terra Transmitter (166-001102-01) is an SDVoE source endpoint that processes audiovisual and control signals for delivery over standard 10G networks. It supports video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz with zero-frame latency transport (under 100 microseconds) and accepts HDMI 2.0a or DisplayPort 1.2 input with HDCP 2.2 compliance. Routable control connections include RS-232, bidirectional IR, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. As an SDVoE-compliant device, it works within Christie Terra systems or alongside third-party SDVoE components.
Product Description
The Terra Transmitter sits at the source end of an AV-over-IP system, encoding content for transport across a 10G network without the compression artifacts or delay of conventional streaming. Video is uncompressed, except for 4K/60 formats (8-bit 4:4:4, 10-bit 4:2:2, 10-bit and 12-bit 4:2:0), which use an artifact-free, ultra-lightweight 1.3-to-1 compression ratio. One switchable input accepts HDMI 2.0a or DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz, with HDR, 3D, and Deep Color pass-through. On-board processing handles color space, bit depth, and frame rate conversion plus broadcast-quality scaling in both directions. Audio support spans analog stereo via 3.5mm input and HDMI-embedded multi-channel PCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Routable RS-232, bidirectional IR, USB 2.0 (for KVM), and 1000BaseT Ethernet extend control alongside the video. Content rides a 10G SFP+ link with AES 128-bit encryption, and a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver for OM3/OM4 multimode fiber is supplied. Front LEDs validate video, transmit/receive, Ethernet, USB, and power status. See the full Terra system in our Christie Digital collection.
Key Features
- 4K@60Hz Support — one switchable HDMI 2.0a / DisplayPort 1.2 input up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz, HDCP 2.2 compliant.
- Zero-Frame Latency — transport latency under 100 microseconds for real-time monitoring and KVM.
- Uncompressed 4:4:4 Quality — pixel-perfect video; 4K/60 formats use artifact-free 1.3:1 lightweight compression.
- HDR and Deep Color Pass-Through — maintains enhanced image information, including 3D support.
- Complete Control Connectivity — routable RS-232, bidirectional IR, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet.
- KVM Functionality — endpoints can access and control AV sources with keyboard and mouse.
- Intelligent EDID and HDCP Management — system-wide handling across multiple sources and displays.
- Broad Audio Support — analog stereo plus HDMI-embedded PCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
- Encrypted 10G Transport — AES 128-bit content encryption over SFP+; 10GBASE-SR transceiver included.
- Broadcast-Quality Scaling — color space, bit depth, frame rate conversion, up- and downscaling on board.
Typical Applications
The Terra Transmitter anchors AV-over-IP source distribution in campus and enterprise AV systems, control rooms and operations centers, command-and-control facilities, medical and simulation environments, and KVM-driven workflows that demand uncompressed 4K with effectively zero latency.
