The Predator HD Series now includes the Predator HD12 and Predator HD16 solutions in a neat 2RU to augment the compact HD4 and HD8, the latter with its unique DualQuad capability.

All Predator HD MultiViewers include support for HD-SDI and SDI inputs and drive high resolution displays up to 1080p.

With an extensive feature set as standard, including audio and video monitoring, UMD & Tallies, clock display, and LAN control, the HD MultiViewers have numerous control options – via the Z-Configurator software, On-Screen Display, front panel LCD menu, GPI, and ZRP remote panel. Protocols for system control over RS232/422 and TCP/IP are available too.

The Predator HD range also features Zandar’s ZdH Dual Head display capability. Hence any system in the range can drive one or two displays, as independent displays or configured as a single virtual monitor wall, with spanning capability. Mode switching between single or dual output is simple and a host of common display resolutions are supported. ZdH is not only cost effective, it caters for display redundancy, and provides the ultimate in display reconfigurability. This unique product range is ideal for HDTV monitoring in a variety of applications.
