RGB Spectrum SV IPX – Eight-Window HDMI and IP Multiviewer

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum SuperView IPX multiviewer places up to eight windows on a single 4Kp60 output, sourced from four HDMI 2.0 inputs plus a 1GbE IP input. Doubling the window count over the QuadView IPX is what makes it the choice for a supervisory position that must watch many low-motion feeds at once. RGB Spectrum publishes a shared IP decode budget of 3840x2160 @ 60fps, with 8x 1080/30p listed as a worked example, so eight network feeds is a supported design point. Specify this eight-window multiviewer for control rooms, operations centres and command centres consolidating a wide source list onto one screen.

Product Description

Window count, not input count, is usually the constraint at a supervisory desk. Eight camera or dashboard feeds on one 4K display is a different job from four large presentation windows, and the SuperView IPX is specified for the former. Four HDMI 2.0 inputs cover locally cabled sources at up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz, and one 1GbE IP input brings network streams into the same layout.

The published decode budget of 3840x2160 @ 60fps is shared across all IP sources, and RGB Spectrum lists 1x 4K/60p, 2x 4K/30p, 4x 1080/60p and 8x 1080/30p as the practical combinations. Eight 1080/30p streams is the configuration that matches the eight-window maximum, which is the right target for surveillance-style and telemetry monitoring where frame rate matters less than coverage. Output is one HDMI 2.0 connection with twenty published timings, so an existing panel does not force a display change.

Control is browser-based HTML5 with Telnet and RS-232 for control system integration. The chassis matches the rest of the family at 1.75 x 8.625 x 8.0 inches, 3.1 lbs, 15 W maximum and PoE++ compliant, which lets a single data drop serve a furniture-mounted position. For rack installation use the 920 12293 rack shelf kit, which RGB Spectrum publishes for the Zio 2 and QV/SV IPX units. Where four windows are sufficient the QuadView IPX multiviewer is the lower-cost equivalent, and where no IP sources exist the QuadView TZ multiviewer is the baseband-only unit. RGB Spectrum also builds the SuperView IPX into its transportable IPX fly-away kit for deployed and field command applications. Confirm stream formats and the switch PoE++ budget with Creation Networks before the network design is issued.

Key Features

• Eight-Window Maximum — RGB Spectrum specifies a maximum window count of eight, which lets one display carry a wide monitoring set at a single supervisory position.
• Hybrid HDMI and IP Inputs — Four HDMI 2.0 inputs plus one 1GbE IP input mean local sources and network streams appear in the same layout without a separate decoder.
• Published Decode Examples — The shared IP decode budget of 3840x2160 @ 60fps is documented with 1x 4K/60p, 2x 4K/30p, 4x 1080/60p and 8x 1080/30p combinations.
• 4Kp60 Single Output — One HDMI 2.0 output at 3840x2160 @ 60Hz keeps eight windows legible on a large panel.
• Twenty Output Timings — Published output resolutions run from 3840x2160 @ 60Hz down to 800x600 @ 60Hz, covering displays already in service.
• Browser-Based HTML5 Control — Layouts are built and recalled from a browser, with Telnet and RS-232 available for a third-party control processor.
• PoE++ Power — PoE++ compliance allows a single network drop to power a display-mounted or desk-mounted unit.
• Compact 1RU Chassis — At 1.75 x 8.625 x 8.0 inches and 3.1 lbs the unit installs in a shallow rack, behind a display, or two-across on the published rack shelf kit.

Typical Applications

• Control Room — Eight monitoring feeds on one 4K screen give an operator wide coverage from a single sightline.
• Command Center — A hybrid input set lets one position follow local systems and streamed field video together.
• Operations Center — Eight 1080/30p streams match the eight-window maximum for continuous telemetry and camera monitoring.
• Emergency Operations Center — Additional IP feeds can be added to a layout during an incident without recabling the desk.
• Broadcast Studio — Multi-source confidence monitoring across machine-room and contribution feeds consolidates onto one display.
• Government Space — Browser and RS-232 control supports a documented operating and audit procedure.
• Auditorium — Stage, lobby, overflow and camera feeds can be watched together from the technical position.
• All-Hands Room — Presenter content and multiple remote-site streams share the main screen in one layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many windows and how many IP streams does the SuperView IPX support?
The published maximum window count is eight. All IP sources share a decode budget of 3840x2160 @ 60fps, and RGB Spectrum documents 8x 1080/30p as one of the supported combinations.

How does it differ from the QuadView IPX?
Chassis, input set, control interfaces and power are identical. The difference is window count and the published decode examples: eight windows here against four on the QuadView IPX.

Can I mix HDMI and IP sources in one layout?
Yes. Four HDMI 2.0 inputs and one 1GbE IP input feed the same window set, which is the reason to choose an IPX unit over a baseband-only processor such as the QuadView TZ.

What is the rack mounting accessory?
RGB Spectrum publishes the 920 12293 rack shelf kit for Zio 2 and QV/SV IPX units. The unit is 1RU at 1.75 x 8.625 x 8.0 inches and 3.1 lbs.

Is PoE powering supported?
The unit is PoE++ compliant and also accepts 100-240 VAC / 50/60Hz, with 15 W maximum consumption. Verify the per-port PoE++ budget on the serving switch during design.

How does it integrate with a control system?
Browser-based HTML5 handles configuration, while Telnet and RS-232 give a third-party control processor a path to recall layouts and change sources.

Is the SuperView IPX used in RGB Spectrum's deployable systems?
Yes. The Zio FWK-1001 fly-away kit is built around SuperView IPX processing for transportable and field command deployments.

What warranty and support apply?
The RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty applies to this part number. Creation Networks supports specification, configuration review and procurement, and can route warranty and technical support requests to RGB Spectrum.
