Ecler has announced a range of interesting innovations concerning the extension and conversion of signals, as well as the management of audio in AV systems.
There are many innovations presented by the Ecler brand, distributed in Italy by Exhibo. All these innovations are characterized by the search for practicality and immediacy of use, as well as for the quality guarantee that is typical of the brand. It will not be possible, here, to deepen every aspect of the new products. Instead, we will offer you a quick overview illustrating the main characteristics of each new extender and converter.
Let’s start with VEO-CAP4U, HDMI/USB A/V capture device, plug-and-play solution for streaming applications, presentations, or audio/video recording. By simply connecting the device to your PC or Mac via USB 3.0 port, VEO-CAP4U allows audio/video capture in FullHD from an HDMI source with quality up to 4K, without the need for additional power supply or specific drivers. The pass through mode also allows you to output in 4K@60Hz, 4: 4: 4, HDR10 quality via the HDMI 2.0 port. In addition, CAP4U provides the possibility of mixing the HDMI source with an audio source, acquired via balanced mono input. Finally, the possibility of audio de-embedding is interesting, with unbalanced stereo output.
The second novelty on which we turn the spotlight is called VEO-XPS43, HDMI extender in 4K that allows, via Cat.6 or higher cable, to send video signals in FHD at a distance of 60 meters, and 4K signals at 30 meters, all without latency. The device also offers EDID functions and IR control, and the receiver is powered by the transmitter via PoC.
VEO-AEXS4 is instead an HDMI audio embedder and de-embedder that works with HDMI 2.0 input port, supporting resolutions up to 4K@60Hz, YUV 4: 4: 4, 18Gbps and 3D, HDR. The device is able to extract audio via HDMI by converting it into an analog stereo signal, with unbalanced stereo output or with S/PDIF coaxial connector, for a 5.1 digital signal. VEO-AEXS4 also offers the possibility of embedding audio via unbalanced stereo input, always starting from the HDMI signal. The selection of the function can be activated via the switch on the front panel.
Finally, we conclude this profitable preview with VEO-DACS4, a new product that combines the characteristics of a DAC converter and an ARC extractor. In practice, it’s an audio conversion device with HDMI ARC and S/PDIF inputs, both via coaxial cable and via optical fiber. As for the outputs, the device provides a balanced stereo analog output, an unbalanced stereo RCA output and S/PDIF digital output ports on optical and coaxial cables.
DACS4 supports DTS, Dolby Digital and PCM up to 5.1 channels.
