da, June 9 , 2015 – AptoViision, a pioneeer of game‐cchanging AV cchipset technology and w
winner of the
e 2014 Deloittte Technologgy Fast 50™ Jury’s J
Favourrite award, to
oday announ
nced its new BlueRiver N
NT+ chipset – – the world’ss first and only chipset to support IP‐bbased switching and extension of truee 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) video w
with zero fram
me latency ovver 100m of ccat‐x or 30KM
M of fiber. W
While practiccally all existiing solutionss claiming support for 4KK/Ultra‐HD trransmission ccompromise either on rrefresh rate (3
30Hz at 4:4:4
4) or on color space (4:2:0 at 60Hz), thee BlueRiver NTT+ uniquely d
delivers true 4
4K quality w
with a refresh
h rate of 60Hzz at the full 4::4:4 color space. ““The award w
winning BlueR
River NT technology has already disruppted the signaal distribution
n market by delivering tthe first and only zero frrame latency chipset for AV over IP,”” said Kamran Ahmed, CEEO and co‐fo
ounder of A
AptoVision; “The new Blu
ueRiver NT+ chipset c
exten
nds this lead and once aggain raises th
he bar for qu
uality and p
performance by delivering on the speciffications needed to claim true 4K and ffull HDMI 2.0 support.” TThe new chip
pset is also HDMI 2.0 an
nd HDCP 2.2
2 compliant aand supportss the transm
mission of au
udio, GbE, 4
480Mbps USB
B 2.0, RS‐232 & IR. Combining long ran
nge signal exttension and IP‐based switching with m
multi‐video V equipmentt for AV/KVM
ccompositing, the BlueRive
er NT+ replaces multiple pieces of AV
M extension,, AV/KVM sswitching, vid
deo‐wall and multi‐view applications a
with w a single AptoVision powered sysstem. Incorpo
oration of B
BlueRiver NT+
+ technology into AV syste
ems can result in cost savving of over 660% for equip
pment and installation, m
millions of dollars in reduced R&D spending, and a dramatic reduuction in time to market. TThe new Blue
eRiver NT+ chipset will be
e showcased
d at AptoVisioon’s booth (##4381) during the Infocomm 2015 ttradeshow in Orlando. Req
