It adds a single 12G-SDI input channel, allowing the HELIOS processor to ingest uncompressed high-bandwidth video over a single coaxial cable. This kit is intended for integrators building broadcast, live event, and high-end fixed-installation LED walls that rely on SDI infrastructure. It is a field-installable expansion that extends the input flexibility of the HELIOS platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHELIOS is Megapixel's secure LED processing platform, deployed by Planar across Chip-on-Board ultra-fine pixel pitch MicroLED product lines such as the Komodo Series. The platform delivers advanced LED processing in a compact 1U footprint with support for high-resolution inputs up to 8K and a future-ready, upgradeable design. This single 12G-SDI input kit equips a HELIOS processor with one 12G-SDI input port, the SDI standard capable of carrying a full 4K\/UHD signal at 60Hz over a single BNC-terminated coax run. SDI remains the backbone of professional broadcast and live production workflows, so adding native 12G-SDI ingest lets the HELIOS-driven LED wall connect directly to cameras, switchers, and routers without external conversion. Because the kit is an input expansion rather than a standalone display, it is specified alongside a HELIOS processor and a compatible Planar LED video wall. Integrators use SDI input when signal runs are long, when latency must stay low, or when existing facility infrastructure is SDI-based. The kit preserves the HELIOS platform's processing capabilities while widening the range of sources it can accept.
