xVision Video Converters

Video signal converters for AV professionals

More than 11 innovations in a single product. 

The xVision Portable Converter range is a must-have tool for any AV professional and AV hire production company. For too long, our industry has relied on poorly considered video signal converters with external power supplies, dip switches and other consumer-like features which introduce a slew of unnecessary reliability problems for live events.

xVision by Theatrixx offers you a professional-grade video signal converter for any sized live event or installed AV application. Proudly designed and built in Canada, Theatrixx products are built-to-last, with the full production process closely supervised to ensure the highest levels of build quality. 

And to back that up, all xVision converters come with a 5-year warranty.

Any signal, any distance

When planning the video for your live event, it's very important to consider the distance between the video control hub and the video display (s). Often you will need to convert your video signal to a different signal format that can travel over longer distances, making your choice in video converter a vitally integral component of your video signal chain, and ultimately, your event.

xVision offers a product for every video signal, video format and distance. All housed in the same rugged and tour-ready chassis, xVision offers video conversion for HDMI, SDI, HDBaseT and Fibre and all video formats up to HD or 4K.

Integrated Power Supply

External power supplies are often very unreliable. They overheat, clog up power strips and are not suitable for continuous use.

xVision converters boast a professional-grade integrated power supply with a lockable powerCON® TRUE1 connector. This will run efficiently 24/7 which lessens reliability problems and also means you don't have to replace and dispose of dead power supplies, saving you time and money in the long run.

Built-in AC Power Outlet

All xVision converters have an AC Power Outlet which lets you daisy chain multiple units, saving you time and money in less cabling and rigging time. You can also quickly power nearby devices (i.e. video projector, monitor or laptop) without using additional power supplies and unreliable power strips.

Protected Connectors

The xVision's rugged, tour-ready enclosure is designed to survive all applications. Steel plates 6.35mm in thickness house the inner components from top and bottom and also protrude on all 4 corners to protect the outer features of the unit.

All signal connectors are recessed into the unit's chassis which hugely reduces the risk of damage when the unit is inevitably dropped by a clumsy stage-hand. Not only will this simple innovation save you time and money in replacing units, it will also give you the peace of mind that your video converter will survive a silly accident and will not put a stop to your event.

The show must go on!

Chassis-Secured Connectors

Unlike other video converters on the market, all of the connectors on the xVision series are secured directly to the rugged chassis. This ensures, in the event of any stress applied on the connection by the cable, that the force will be distributed along the chassis and won't damage the electronics inside the device.

Lockable Connecters

Not only that, all connectors are lockable. This completely eliminates the risk of getting a loose cable at an inconvenient time, which can cost you time and therefore money, if for example the unit is flown in the air on trussing.

Magnetic Stacking

You've all seen just how chaotic a video technician's worktop can be. Unlike the sound engineer or lighting tech, they don't have the luxury of an all-purpose console that does everything in one unit, so are often left with a medley of cables leading to various units, each with a specific job.

xVision has a couple of simple solutions to help tidy up that chaotic worktop. All models share the same footprint and magnetised outer chassis, meaning they can be easily stacked. Not only does this makes better use of the worktop space. Not only that, the grippy non-skid rubber pads on the bottom of every unit prevent the converters from sliding around or indeed off the worktop when cables are accidentally tugged.

Instant Setup. No Dipswitches.

All xVision converters are completely plug-and-play and don't rely on fiddly dipswitches, buttons or menu knobs to fumble with. Not only is this quicker, it also completely removes the scenario where you may have to change the settings on a device that's flown in the air or in a place that isn't easily accessible, wasting valuable time in the build-up to your live event.

Clear and intuitive LED status indicators on the device indicate the unit's state of operation and assist in troubleshooting. A red light indicates the device is powered and the same light turns green to show it is receiving a signal. SD, HD and 3G-SDI signals are indicated with different LED lights and the audio converters also display the signal level with a small LED bar graph.

On-field ID

All xVision devices have a colour and letter ID to quickly identify the product series and a letter to indicate where about in the signal flow the unit should be placed. These intuitive on-field IDs will help speed up deployment and also ease delegation as the stage hand only has to know the colour and letter, rather than the technology behind the unit.

Distribution Amplifiers

xVision Distribution Amplifiers come in 1:4 and 1:8 for SDI and 1:4 for HDMI and DisplayPort. Line Delay units can also be used to delay the video signal for larger applications where screens need to be synced with the audio as it travels further back into the audience.

There is also an SDI repeater which will extend your SDI signal chain by a further 100 metres.

xPressCue Video Media Player

The xPressCue Media Player is a dedicated hardware solution for seamless 4K video playback.

A laptop is often used to drive video content for small-medium sized events but this comes with a slew of reliability issues and when it goes wrong, a steep learning curve. The xPressCue offers a reliable 1RU alternative incorporating professional features expected by AV production companies and video technicians alike. It supports all common video, picture and audio formats, has 1TB of solid-state storage, locking connectors and an integrated power supply but most importantly, does not require a computer for setup or operation.

The xPressCue is controlled by its web-based GUI, the integrated OLED display and encoder wheel, lighting formats DMX/ArtNET/sACN or by an Elgato Streamdeck controller for quick and easy table-top operation.
