Why the X2’s Modular I/O Wins Multi-Screen Bids
Multi-screen projects change scope between quotation and load-in — an extra camera appears, a projector drops to CVBS, the LED wall grows a section. The X2 absorbs those changes as card swaps, not chassis swaps: input cards come as quad HDMI, quad 3G-SDI, quad CVBS, quad USB, quad HDBaseT, quad H.264 or a 4K@30 module; output cards as quad 2K HDMI, quad 3G-SDI, quad HDBaseT or H.264 streaming.
At full depth the chassis carries 16 inputs and 16 outputs with up to 16K×2K splicing, while the H.264 PVW card gives a dedicated preview for XPOSE or extended monitoring. A Genlock Y BNC and HDMI digital sync input lock every output to the same clock, and a second power supply slot adds redundancy for shows that cannot blink.
16 In / 16 Out
Four input slots plus four output slots; quad-port cards scale the chassis from 4 to 16 per side as the project grows.
16K×2K Splicing
Up to 16 screens spliced into one canvas (LCD, LED or projector) with output rotation in 90°/180°/270° steps.
Genlock & HDMI Sync
Genlock Y BNC plus HDMI digital sync input keep all outputs frame-locked across cascaded or multi-canvas rigs.
Redundant Power Option
Two PSU slots with independent IEC inlets (200 W modules) — one supply can fail and the show stays up.
X2 Input Cards: HDMI, SDI, HDBaseT, USB, H.264 and 4K@30
Each input slot takes one quad-port card. HDMI and USB cards carry SMPTE and VESA formats up to 2560×816@60; the 4K@30 module brings 3840×2160@24/25/30 over HDMI 1.4 with loop and DisplayPort 1.1a with loop; HDBaseT cards take 1080p60 over runs of structured cable; H.264 cards decode IP streams up to 1920×1080@60.
| Input card | Ports | Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Quad HDMI Module | 4 × HDMI | SMPTE 480i–1080p60; VESA to 2560×816@60 — the everyday laptop and media-player card. |
| 4K@30 Digital Module | 1× HDMI-A + loop | 1× DP + loop | 3840×2160@24/25/30 (HDMI 1.4, DP 1.1a) — the 4K source card for the family. |
| Quad 3G-SDI Module | 4 × BNC | SMPTE 425M (Level A & B), 424M, 292M, 259M-C, DVB-ASI; 1080psf support for film-rate cameras. |
| Quad HDBaseT Module | 4 × RJ45 | 1080p60 and VESA to 2560×816@60 over HDBaseT 1.1 — sources arrive on structured cable. |
| Quad H.264 Module | 4 × RJ45 | IP stream decode up to 1920×1080@60 — network cameras and encoders as direct sources. |
| Quad USB / Quad CVBS | 4 × USB / 4 × BNC | USB playback and PAL/NTSC composite sources for legacy racks. |
VGA joins as a three-port DB15 card, so the full legacy-plus-modern spread — HDMI, SDI, HDBaseT, H.264, USB, VGA, CVBS, 4K — lives in one chassis, hot-configured per project.
16 Outputs, 90° Rotation and Genlock-Locked Canvases
Output cards mirror the input flexibility: quad 2K HDMI, quad 3G-SDI, quad HDBaseT or the H.264/IP streaming card, each output user-configurable from the standard resolution set or custom — VESA up to 2048×1152@60 with full SMPTE coverage. Output rotation in 90° increments (90°/180°/270°) serves portrait totems and rotated LCD arrays without re-cabling.
| Output card | Ports | Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Quad 2K HDMI Output | 4 × HDMI-A | SMPTE 720p/1080i/1080p at full frame rates; VESA to 2048×1152@60 — the standard screen-feed card. |
| Quad 3G-SDI Output | 4 × BNC | 720p/1080i/1080p SMPTE — broadcast-legal feeds to routers and recorders. |
| Quad HDBaseT Output | 4 × RJ45 | Screens fed over structured cable for long or in-wall runs (HDBaseT 1.1). |
| H.264 / IP Streaming | 1× HDMI-A | 2× RJ45 | Dedicated H.264 PVW output for XPOSE preview or extended monitoring, plus IP streaming output option. |
Synchronization is designed in, not bolted on: the Genlock Y BNC and HDMI digital sync input keep all sixteen outputs (and any cascaded X2s) on one clock, while ULink in/out jacks link control between units in multi-chassis racks.
Where the RGBlink X2 Splicing Processor Earns Its Keep
Control Rooms & Broadcast Sets: Many Sources, One Clock
SDI cameras, H.264 network feeds and HDMI workstations land on separate cards; Genlock locks the canvas; the H.264 PVW card feeds the supervisor’s preview. When a source type changes, a card changes — not the processor.
Exhibition Halls & Museums: 16-Screen Storytelling
Up to 16 outputs splice LCD and LED panels into one 16K×2K canvas with 90° rotation for portrait columns — multi-screen storytelling from one chassis with OSD captions on every window.
Rental & Staging: Redundant Power, Long-Distance Feeds
The second PSU slot covers shows that cannot blink; HDBaseT output cards push screens across truss runs on Ethernet cable; and XPOSE software plus OpenAPI integrate the X2 into show-control rigs.

X2 Buying Guide: 5 Checks Before You Order
- Count screens first, sources second. Output count defines the card plan: each quad output card serves four screens, so a 12-screen canvas is three output cards — order the chassis around that math.
- Check for true 4K sources. The X2 tops out at 4K@30 on the dedicated module; 4K@60 or HDR sources belong on the X3.
- Decide the sync plan. Multi-unit or camera-adjacent shows need the Genlock Y input wired to a sync generator — budget the BNC line now, not at load-in.
- Spec the preview path. If control-room preview matters, include the H.264 PVW output card and XPOSE workstation in the bid.
- Choose PSU redundancy honestly. The second 200 W PSU slot is an option — unsupervised installations and long-run exhibitions justify it; staffed one-day shows may not.

RGBlink X2 Modular Video Wall Processor FAQ
Q1 What is the RGBlink X2 video wall processor?
The X2 (Venus X2) is a fully modular input/output splicing processor. Its 2U chassis holds four input slots and four output slots filled with quad-port cards, scaling up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs that splice LCD, LED or projector screens into canvases up to 16K×2K.
Q2 Which input and output cards does the X2 support?
Input cards: quad HDMI, quad VGA, quad 3G-SDI, quad H.264 (RJ45), quad USB, quad CVBS, quad HDBaseT and a 4K@30 digital module (HDMI + loop, DP + loop). Output cards: quad 2K HDMI, quad 3G-SDI, quad HDBaseT, and H.264/IP streaming with a dedicated PVW output.
Q3 What is the maximum splicing capacity of the X2?
The X2 splices up to 16 screens into one canvas reaching 16K×2K resolution, with output rotation in 90° increments (90°, 180°, 270°) for portrait and rotated screen arrays. The maximum number of spliced windows is 16.
Q4 How do X2 outputs stay synchronized?
A Genlock Y BNC input and an HDMI digital sync input keep all outputs synchronized to one clock. This matters for cascaded units, camera-adjacent LED walls and any build where multiple displays must update on the same frame boundary.
Q5 Can the X2 take 4K sources?
Yes, through the 4K@30 Digital Input Module, which provides one HDMI-A with loop and one DisplayPort with loop, accepting 3840×2160 at 24/25/30 Hz under HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.1a. For 4K@60 and HDR sources, the RGBlink X3 is the matching chassis.
Q6 What is the H.264 PVW output used for?
The H.264 PVW output provides a dedicated preview feed for RGBlink XPOSE software or extended monitoring, so operators watch the next layout without stealing a program output. The same card family supports IP streaming output to the network.
Q7 Does the X2 support redundant power?
Yes. The chassis has two PSU slots with independent IEC inlets using 200 W supply modules (order code 950-0001-00-0). Fitting both gives power redundancy for installations and shows that cannot tolerate a supply failure.
Q8 How is the X2 controlled remotely?
RGBlink XPOSE software runs on Windows and macOS, the platform exposes OpenAPI for third-party control, and T Series consoles connect as hardware surfaces. ULink in/out jacks link control between chassis in multi-unit racks, with LAN over RJ45.
Q9 Can outputs be rotated for portrait screens?
Yes. Output rotation works in 90° increments — 90°, 180° and 270° — which serves portrait LCD columns, upside-down mounted panels and rotated LED cabinets without changing cabling or content.
Q10 What video standards does the X2 cover?
HDMI 1.4, VGA-UXGA, DisplayPort 1.1a, HDBaseT 1.1, USB 2.0, and SDI under SMPTE 425M (Level A & B), 424M, 292M and 259M-C plus DVB-ASI — spanning legacy composite through HDBaseT structured-cable feeds.
Q11 How big and heavy is the X2?
The chassis measures 484 × 413 × 91 mm and weighs 12 kg net (18 kg packed) — a two-rack-unit build that still ships and truck-packs as a single box.
Q12 How much does the RGBlink X2 cost?
Pricing is chassis plus card configuration, so it depends on the input and output card mix, PSU option and quantity. Send our team the screen count and source list for a factory-direct quote with the exact card order codes.
