New Video Wall Controllers from Trenton Feature Matrox Mura MPX Universal Input/Output Boards

Matrox Graphics Inc. and Trenton Systems today announced three new Trenton video wall controllers, tested and validated for use with Matrox Mura™MPX  display wall controller boards. A single Mura MPX PCI Express x16 board facilitates video switching, signal conversion, scaling and de-interlacing across four inputs and four outputs, while combining multiple Mura MPX boards in a single Trenton system simplifies hardware required for larger video wall, digital signage & corporate AV projects.

The Trenton TVC4403 4U rackmount system is a new high-performance, high-density video controller for AV professionals and integrators managing large-scale, collaborative display walls. The TVC4403 features a 14-slot, PCI Express 2.0 Trenton backplane that is currently validated with up to six Matrox Mura MPX display controller boards to support up to twenty-four 1080p HD inputs across twenty-four 1080p HD outputs.

Matrox has also validated two compact Trenton systems with embedded Trenton motherboards and Matrox Mura MPX display wall controller boards—ideal for small to mid-sized video wall designs deployed in space-conscious process control, security surveillance, and corporate boardroom environments. The low-profile TVC3400 shelfmount system incorporates one or two Mura MPX boards supporting up to eight input channels across up to eight displays. The compact TVC4400 shelfmount system includes up to three Mura cards to capture, scale, position and display up to twelve inputs from different sources across up to twelve monitors, projectors, cubes or tiles.

“Trenton is excited to have developed the latest members of its video controller family with Matrox,” said Michael Bowling, President of Trenton Systems. “Our mutual customers will appreciate Trenton system performance in their high-end capture and display applications and how these integrated hardware solutions simplify the installation and start-up of their video display walls.”

"Following closely on the heels of Trenton’s TVC4401 product launch, Matrox is pleased to validate Trenton’s latest rackmount and shelfmount video controller systems," says Helgi Sigurdsson, Product Manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. “Incorporating the unique single-slot, input/output Matrox Mura MPX boards within additional Trenton-designed systems allows Trenton to deliver fully integrated solutions to AV customers running demanding applications on any sized display wall."

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
