Pixelhue PD3-2K

Pixelhue PD3-2K is a powerful and compact distributed AVoIP processor designed for flexible, secure, and efficient audiovisual distribution. Built with a dual-engine architecture, it supports both H.264/H.265 deep compression and Pixelhue’s advanced InstSight shallow compression technology, enabling ultra-low latency streaming with exceptional 2K60 4:4:4 video and pristine audio.

Like its 4K counterpart, the PD3-2K is a dual-purpose node that can function as either an encoder or decoder, making it ideal for medium-resolution AV-over-IP deployments such as enterprise collaboration, video conferencing, security and surveillance, command centers, and digital signage networks.

Key Features

• Dual-Purpose Device – Operates as an encoder or decoder, reducing hardware requirements.

• Efficient Dual Stream Transmission – Supports simultaneous shallow and deep compression streams, with bandwidth from 512 kbps to 700 Mbps.

• High-Quality 2K Video – Visually lossless shallow compression with support for 2K@60Hz 4:4:4.

• Distributed & Scalable – IP-based architecture allows unlimited expansion with easy node integration across networks.

• Centralized & Visualized Management – Real-time preview, multi-screen layouts, EDID management, OSD overlays, presets, and scheduling.

• KVM Over IP – Advanced operator features include mouse roaming, virtual keyboard, USB passthrough, touchscreen control, multi-screen management, and cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, macOS).

• Robust Security – Role-based permissions, group management, and secure operator access for high-security environments.

• Seamless Synchronization – Pixelhue’s NetSync + SuperSync ensures nanosecond-level sync across nodes, eliminating tearing and mismatched displays.

• Flexible Audio Options – Line In, Mic In, Line Out, HDMI-embedded audio, AAC encoding, and independent or accompanied audio output.

• Reliable Redundancy – PoE + DC power backup, HDMI input/output failover, and Ethernet/optical transmission redundancy.
