About E2
Image 3-1: E2
E2 is a modular, scalable digital video processor, designed to manage multiple display destinations and large
video walls. The E2 screen management system provides superior image quality and an exceptional input and
output density, within a single 4RU rack mount chassis. Supporting native 4K I/O cards, it is the first and only
screen management system on the market that can manage a 4K projector blend with refresh rates up to
60Hz. A truly versatile system, it offers up to 32 inputs and 14 outputs (up-to eight PGM, Multiviewer, and four
scaled Aux outputs) for full show control. Multiple E2 units can be linked in order to achieve a combination of
Layer, Canvas, Input and Output expansion. The control interface is performed through a GUI application
running Windows, Linux* or Mac platforms. E2 covers multiple markets including Rental & Staging, Corporate
AV, Simulation, Control Rooms and Broadcast.
Thanks to its modular design, users can also simply add a new input or output card to support future signal
interfaces. This modularity also ensures field serviceability, as users can easily swap a specific input or output
card in the case of damage or failures, without needing to ship or replace the entire box.
