This board transports HDMI/USB-C signals up to 4K/UHD resolution with embedded audio and incorporates switchable data rates including modes for 1GbE, 2.5GbE and 10GbE AV-over-IP. Silex claims the latency is imperceptible (less than 3ms) and is aimed at AV streaming, includes level-3 security encryption, has forward-error-correction and remote configuration capabilities.
The VIPER board is equipped with two HDMI inputs, as well as a USB-C input. The two HDMI inputs support any 4K HDMI signals, while the USB-C input allows users to share directly a 4K monitor, keyboard, mouse, docucam, webcam as well as other USB-C accessories. In addition, it supports Macs, PCs, tablets and phones having USB-C connectors. The control over which input is used (and the switching policy) can easily be done in the VIPER web interface or control management using the available API.
