The MaxColor 4K60 Video Tiling and Warping Transmitter combines two iconic Just Add Power features into one device:
Tiling mixes four video sources and combines them into a new, unique, compiled video source that can be viewed by any MaxColor Receiver in the system. Tile four HDMI sources on a single display in a variety of viewing modes: Quad, Picture-inPicture, Primary and Secondaries, or any custom layout you can imagine. Like any standalone Receiver, the four inputs to the MaxColor 4K60 Video Tiling Transmitter can watch any source in the system and the compiled video can be shown on any display in the system. Multiple video tilers can be combined to add even more sources to a single display.
Warping rotates any source in the MaxColor system in 0.1-degree increments in real time and can be viewed by any number of Receivers in the system, allowing for the creation of massive artistic video walls.

SYSTEM PLANNING Building a System
Building A System
Building a System is simple
1 Connect the Transmitters
One Transmitter (TX) per source.
Each source in your system will be connected by HDMI cable to a transmitter. The transmitter will encode the source content and send it through your network to the layer three ethernet switch.
2 Connect the Receivers
One Receiver (RX) per display.
Next, receivers are connected to each display using HDMI cable. The receivers accept the encoded content routed to them from the switch and decode it for the display to play at the correct resolution and HDR settings.
3 Gigabit Switch
A gigabit switch is used to direct the source content to the intended displays. Just Add Power works with high quality switch manufacturers to ensure interoperability.
Multiple switches may be used to expand the number of sources and displays in your system.Just Add Power devices are connected to the switch using Cat5 or higher cable. Fiber cable is supported in the MaxColor product line.
4 Control System
With our supported control systems, you can trust that you are getting the best possible technology and support for your AV over IP needs. We provide free drivers for popular control systems and an easily accessible API.
5 Configuration
Our configuration software, Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP) takes you step by step through the process of configuring your Just Add Power devices.

Compatibility
Just Add Power’s 2G Omega and 3G Ultra product lines are compatible and can be integrated interchangeably into your AV distribution system. MaxColor products are not directly compatible, but can be integrated into your system and on your switch using a closed loop or through bridging, which requires additional devices.
Firmware Updates
Just Add Power offers regular firmware updates to keep your devices running optimally and provide you with additional features when innovation breaks. These updates are only installed when you initiate them and are never pushed to the devices.
