Christie Spyder X20

Description

Christie Spyder X20 is the world’s most powerful video processor and presentation switcher. The Spyder X20 is a versatile hardware-based video processor combined with the flexibility of a video matrix switcher that converts and routes any signal to any destination device or combination of display devices – quickly and easily. You can drive multiple displays in any combination of edge-blended widescreen, single and multiscreen discreet applications, achieving higher brightness and enhanced image quality and resolution than has ever been possible.

The Spyder is easy to deploy and install. Because everything is all in one unit, the Spyder X20 reduces the number of wires, boxes and rack space you need. Adds inputs, outputs and pixel real estate with powerful expansion capabilities that allow inputs/outputs from other Spyder systems to contribute to a single pixel space
