Alcorn McBride launches Carbon 4K video player

The new High Frame Rate (60 fps) UltraHD 4K player delivers the ultimate viewer experience to large video and LED walls; museum exhibits; theme park attractions; corporate centres; 4D theater; and digital signage. It joins the single channel model,  CARBON 1080p 60 player, in Alcorn McBride’s Carbon product line.

CARBON 4K taps growing interest in emerging 4K technology by offering true image playback at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 in a rock-solid package synonymous with the Alcorn McBride brand. Designed for applications where smooth high-resolution playback is a must, Carbon’s ability to natively play 60 fps content means jitter-free video playback in a rugged, maintenance-free package.

True to Alcorn McBride engineering, Carbon is a solid-state player with no hard drives.  Simple, removable CompactFlash media stores hours of HD content. Content can be uploaded remotely via Ethernet.

Carbon supports many of the easy-to-use, flexible control features that come standard with Alcorn McBride products, such as Playlisting, Ethernet, Serial and GPIO. Features include frame-accurate video synchronization, quad 3G HD-SDI and Quad HDMI output, and genlock input.

The new player occupies 3RUs and weighs 25 lbs (11kg).
