PureLink and Savant Team Up in 4K Video

  • PDF

PureLink and Savant announce a partnership in 4K video-- one combining Savant residential switching products with PureLink's commercial 4K/UHD video matrix switchers.

Purelink SavantBoth PureLink UX-8800 and UX-4400 (8x8 and 4x4) 4K HDMI switchers support HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0b (4:4:4/60Hz), and each includes a SmartHost Premium license. Also coming soon is the PureLink HCE II extender, an HDMI over HDBaseT transmitter package able to push 4K signals up to 70m over a single CAT cable.

"Savant's expertise in the home control and automation space is second to none," PureLink says. "We are delighted to partner with them and bring their customers the same high-quality innovative designs used by our most demanding commercial clientele."

This team up is rather interesting-- after all, it sees the two companies join strengths in order to compete against control and video switching leaders such as Extron, Crestron, Cramer and AMX. However it all depends on whether they manage to integrate each other control protocols in a single plug-and-play communications protocol, as opposed to simply having Savant sell PureLink switchers.
