Local source sharing
Staff select either of two HDMI sources on each of four displays. One source may be shown on all four displays at once.

How it works · functional groups
Choose either source on each display
Local media
Two sources
One fixed encoder per HDMI source.
Managed AV switch
Carries selected streams to four fixed decoders.
Four displays
One picture with source audio per display.
Operators can share one source across all four displays. A separate controller manages permissions and status. There is no USB control, multiview, recording or redundant network in the base.

03 · Scope & limits
What is included. What needs agreement.
System composition
Two source encoders, four display decoders, one managed PoE+ access switch, one route controller and one wired operator client. The example includes six HDMI connections, endpoint network cabling and one local rack/power installation set. Two sources, four displays and the agreed IT service connection are client interfaces.
Equipment schedule · 5 groups
Example quantities, not an approved procurement schedule. Catalogue links provide component specifications; they do not confirm system compatibility or availability.
- Source encoders
- 2
One per simultaneous independent source; confirmed platform and input format
- Display decoders
- 4
One per independent display; matched to encoder stream type
- Managed PoE+ access switches
- 1
Port, multicast and total power budget checked for every location
- Shared controller / operator clients
- 1 / 1
Supported endpoint control, licensed client access and status feedback
- Local installation sets
- 1
Rack, mounting, cabling, power distribution, cooling and agreed UPS
What we need to demonstrate
The test plan is agreed before procurement. Every result records equipment and firmware, source/display formats, the route set and pass limits. The example designs have not yet undergone these tests. - IP-01: all 8 source-to-display pairs, both sources active, and one source on all four displays. - IP-02: all 48 pairs, all eight displays active, and three distinct remote feeds in each direction at the same time. - IP-03: all 216 pairs, all eighteen displays active, and the designed worst-case incoming and outgoing building traffic. - Every configuration: picture and accompanying audio, source switching, EDID/HDCP where required, delay, PoE startup, multicast containment, status feedback and access permissions. - Recovery: agreed device restarts and backup restoration; for selected R01, fibre loss and restoration with measured interruption and no network loop. Single-device failures remain inside the stated recovery boundary..
Handover evidence: Agreed criteria, equipment and version schedule, measured test results and recovery procedure..
These are planned project checks. The reference configuration has not passed physical system acceptance.
