Analog Way Zenith 100 Multi-Layer 4K60 Presentation Switcher

The Zenith 100 is a high-performance multi-screen & multi-layer 4K60 presentation switcher and videowall processor based on the powerful Alta 4K platform. Featuring heavy-duty design, 13 inputs and 4 outputs with versatile 4K connectivity, state-of-the-art real-time processing, advanced video effects and user-friendly HTML5-based user interface, the Zenith 100 is a perfect fit for medium to large-scale live events and fixed installations requiring the highest reliability and performance.

Versatile connectivity

The Zenith 100 is a powerful 4K60 multi-screen and multi-layer presentation switcher equipped with thirteen inputs, including eleven 4K60 inputs (six HDMI 2.0, three DisplayPort 1.2 and two 12G-SDI) and two 1080p inputs with user-selectable HDMI and SDI connectors. The Zenith 100 also features four independent 4K60 outputs, each with mirrored HDMI and SDI connectors. Two of these outputs are additionally equipped with SFP+ connectors compatible with Analog Way's fiber optic or ST2110 SFP modules.The Zenith 100 comes also standard with a dedicated Multiviewer output to control all connected sources and screens. High Performance Video Processing

Countless functionalities

The Zenith 100 offers all the advanced real-time video processing features you need to deliver outstanding presentations: true seamless switching on all layers, elegant borders and transitions, alpha channel support, Luma and Chroma keying, custom output formats, AOI ... In addition, audio can also be easily de-embedded from the video sources, and re-embedded on the physical video outputs to be sent to a display or recording device. An option is also available to add support for Dante audio networking (32 ch.) The Zenith 100 also offers livestreaming functionality, allowing to stream any input or output to an online web service such like YouTube and Twitch.tv, or directly send the content to software like OBS Studio for recording or custom livestreaming.

Class-leading image processing

Like the award-winning LivePremier and Midra 4K products, the Zenith 100 is based on the class-leading Analog Way's 5th generation scaling engine, featuring ultra-low latency 4K60 10- bit 4:4:4 image processing, uncompromising video quality, and HDCP 2.2 compatibility. Up to 3 video outputs can be freely configured as single screens or edge-blended widescreens, and the remaining unused outputs (2 max.) can be turned into scaled auxiliary 1080p60 outputs to display any input or screen. Each screen can be composed of a background with native resolution (live source or still image) and up to 6 resizable layers plus a still image foreground layer. The Zenith 100 also incorporates the latest Analog Way’s innovations, including advanced color correction with custom 3D LUTs, real-time SDR/HDR conversion or high frame rate processing at up to 144 Hz.

Built for reliability

Based on an extremely robust and stable FPGA-based hardware platform, the Zenith 100 is ideal for the most demanding environments, from major live events to 24/7 permanent LED wall control. With the highest quality components selected for their proven reliability, optimized airflow management and a cleanable dust filter, the Zenith 100 is exceptionally quiet and offers reliable operation with maximized uptime and reduced maintenance
