Systems Integration Asia – April-May 2018

EXHIBITION REVIEW^57

SI A

Other subjects of debate – though not as vocal as the gig-dig –

included the LED pixel-pitch war; 4k-to16k resoluon war; and AV

over IP posions.

While the ISE is all the more overwhelming with 'beyond definion'

sort products and soluons, an honest, if not innocent wonderment

is- is anyone mapping what the industry exactly needs, rather than

geng lost in the race for one-up posion?

Crystal LED Wall and Laser Projectors

Icron Technologies Corporation,

a leader in USB and video

extension technology, and

intoPIX, an innovative provider

of video compression

technology together showcased

a live demonstration of Icron's

Maverick KVM platform with

ExtremeUSB-C extension

technology at the ISE.

The Maverick KVM platform is

the world's rst integrated

extension solution combining

Icron's proprietary ExtremeUSB-C

USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 2.0/1.1

extension technology with TICO

lightweight video compression

from technology partner intoPIX.

TICO enables 10 Gbps extension

of Ultra High Denition (UHD)

4Kp60 4:4:4 video and all type

USB peripherals over a single

CAT 6a cable up to 100 meters.

In addition to UHD 4Kp60 video

and USB extension, the Maverick

includes the ExtremeUSB-C suite

of features such as transparent

USB extension supporting USB 3,

2 and 1, true plug and play (no

software drivers required) and

compatibility with all major

operating systems: Windows,

macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.

“Our TICO technology pushes the

boundaries of video compression

to provide state-of-the-art

lossless 4Kp60 video quality,

without giving in on latency,”

said Jean-Baptiste Lorent,

Director of Marketing and Sales

at intoPIX. “Coupling TICO with

ExtremeUSB-C technology turns

Icron's Maverick platform into a

unique and powerful 4K + USB

3.1 extension solution

specically designed for ProAV,

broadcast, medical and

industrial applications.”

“Maverick combines Icron's USB

3-2-1 extension capabilities with

UHD video using TICO

lightweight compression from

intoPIX resulting in a USB and

video extension solution unlike

any other product available in

today's market at a competitive

price,” said Tom Schultz, Product

Manager at Icron.

“Maverick is truly a

breakthrough platform that will

soon be available for OEM

customers to customize for their

own solutions.”

Cheeky Advertisements by Lightware

Wins Our (SIAsia) Award at ISE!

INTERNATIONAL: Okay! We do not really have an award for

this! We are not sure how many visitors noced the tongue-
in-cheek adversements by Lightware that were strategically
placed at the ‘Gents’ facilies. Here is a sampling.

Gopi Ram Mailik, Managing Director, AV Science

Technology: Concept or soluon wise, I felt the Sony 4K

Crystal LED Wall incredible for the sheer experience it

offers to users and opportunies it provides for

design/integraon professionals. Product wise, I felt the

DPI's 8K Laser Projector as a compelling unit. However, I

don't know if the 8K model can sustain the currents of

resoluon bale.

Narendra Naidu, Managing Director, Rhino Engineers:

Rather than products, I liked the XR Summit the most; it

appears to touch praccally every field of human

acvity, and even robocs and geospaal domain. I

suggest every single AV professional must take a serious

note of it, and try knowing it beer.
