Here’s Everything Just Add Power is Showing at CEDIA Expo 2024
Just Add Power say it is headed to CEDIA Expo 2024 (booth 3333 ) and focusing on its MaxColor 4K60 Series MC-TXWP1 wall plate transmitter, MC-QX MaxColor 4K60 Tiling and Warping transmitter and the AES67-capable MC-TX3 MaxColor 4K60 Series transmitter.
The company says the new Just Add Power MaxColor MC-TXWP1 PoE, two-gang HDMI wall plate transmitter provides integrators with an HDMI port that natively supports 4K60 input from any source. It distributes 4K UHD video from connected 4K BYOD sources without downscaling or subsampling. With the MC-TXWP1, 4K60/4:4:4/36-bit video can be distributed over a 1G managed network using Cat 5e/Cat 6 cable. Just Add Power says it delivers “instant, seamless” switching, 4K up- and downscaling, and HDR management while supporting all lossless audio formats and HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision for the best viewing experience. To match any décor, the unit’s faceplate is available in black, white or custom colors.
Just Add Power also says the MC-QX MaxColor 4K60 Tiling and Warping Transmitter combines the company’s MaxColor technology, 4K network video tiler and Warp Engine technology. It allows 4K@60 source devices to be instantly displayed on a single screen, along with source rotation capabilities. Users can simultaneously watch up to four 4K@60 video sources in multiple formats, including single-screen, video wall or tiled video. With the MC-QX warping capability, installers can rotate any source image in a Just Add Power matrix — cable boxes, media players, game systems, cameras, and more — in 0.1-degree increments in real time with low latency. The company says the rotated image can then be sent to an unlimited number of receivers in the network, allowing for the creation of massive artistic video walls using a single MC-QX.
Finally, the company says the MC-TX3 MaxColor 4K60 Series Transmitter natively supports 4K@60 in and out, allowing end users to play Ultra HD video from any 4K source and device now available, along with compatibility for AES67 audio systems. With the MC-TX3, video at 12-bit color and 4:4:4 chroma can be distributed over Cat 5/Cat 6 cable. Like the MaxColor MC-TX2, the new MC-TX3 transmitter offers power over USB-C, supporting KVM, or, for example, a USB web camera signal over IP. Further, it supports MPEG downstreaming for connected devices, such as a laptop or tablet. Even more, Just Add Power says it supports input for LPCM audio up to eight channels, AES67 audio send and receive up to eight channels and AES67 audio injection into any Just Add Power network. Like many other transmitters in the Just Add Power lineup, it includes HDMI pass-through; control of endpoints via RS-232, IR, and CEC; and Image Pull, which allows users to preview an image from any source or display from any web browser or control system at up to 10 fps.
At the booth, Just Add Power says daily guitar giveaways will bring greater awareness to G4V’s mission to provide relief to struggling veterans through the healing power of music and community. Just Add Power says it has supported the cause for eight years, donating guitars to the program annually. This year, the company is donating three guitars to G4V’s cause, and CEDIA Expo attendees can enter for a chance to win a Jackson Monarkh guitar, an ESP LTD electric guitar with a flamed maple top, or a Players Series white on white Fender Stratocaster.
