AV-over-IP distribution manufactuer Just Add Power marked its ISE 2024 appearance in Barcelona, Spain with a new addition to the MaxColor family of video-over-IP transmitters with the new MC-QX MaxColor 4K60 Tiling and Warping Transmitter.
The MC-QX combines the company’s MaxColor technology, 4K technology video tiler and Warp Engine technology in one.
The company says the MC-QX stretches the conventional boundaries of video distribution as an all-in-one solution that caters to the diverse needs of installations across various industries, such as a multi-view sports environment, a casino or digital artwork.
The MC-QX combines MaxColor with Just Add Power’s tiling and warping technology in one transmitter. It allows 4K60 source devices to be displayed on a single screen instantly along with source rotation capabilities. Users can simultaneously watch up to four 4K60 video sources in multiple formats, including single-screen, videowall 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 rotated image can then be sent to an unlimited number of receivers in the network, allowing for the creation of massive artistic videowalls using a single MC-QX.

MaxColor 4K60 Technology
The MaxColor 4K60 technology was introduced in 2021 to natively support 4K60 in and out, allowing end-users to play ultra-HD video from the growing number of 4K sources and devices now available. All MaxColor products can distribute 4K60/4:4:4/36-bit-color video over a 1GB managed network using either CatX (Cat 5e minimum) cable or fiber cable, so integrators can use the cable that best fits their projects, the company says.
In addition, MC-QX supports MPEG downstreaming for connected devices including laptops and tablets. The series delivers instant and seamless switching, 4K up- and downscaling, and HDR management while supporting all lossless audio formats and Dolby Vision for the best viewing experience, according to Just Add Power.
