The P80 is a high-performance presentation switcher built to drive up to 20x 4K inputs with precise, real-time control over every screen and layer. It runs real 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit internal processing on an FPGA-based architecture, with up to 8x 4K mixing main layers, 4x 4K mixing PIP layers, and 256 saveable presets. The unit offers dual independent multiviewer outputs, full-link HDR conversion, flexible HDMI 2.0/DP 1.2/12G-SDI connectivity, an SDI matrix, and Dante audio networking. Control is available via the onboard 7-inch touchscreen, the U5/U5 Pro event controllers, PixelFlow software, or Stream Deck integration. It's designed for mission-critical live events, broadcasts, and permanent video wall installations that demand reliability and image quality.
