High Definition

Nothing brings more life to your event ideas like High Definition audio and video. Everything becomes clear, more vivid, and more powerful.

The audience is drawn right into your message, no longer conscious that they're watching a projected image on a screen. Now you can deliver a network television standard of production values at your next event.

PSAV introduces its Cortex™ 8000

A totally integrated package
We designed a totally integrated system, based on feedback from the industry's most demanding producers. Instead of plugging in nearly 1000 connections, we only need 22. Our processing systems ensure the HD images flow perfectly from source to audience with no compromise.

Broadcast performance
The Cortex system exceeds major broadcast engineering standards, using technologies tried and tested on the most complex productions. With up to 96 inputs, up to 48 separate HD outputs and up to 4 multi-effects banks - all capable of running in 4:4:4 – there’s no compression, no sampling, no compromises.

The Nerve Center
A powerful brain like the Cortex needs a fast nervous system. Cortex was developed with a major focus on software control. The whole system can be reconfigured via computer to suit almost any need without significant re-cabling or patching. It runs up to seven separate computer networks on site, linked across a gigabit backbone. And everything is linked to front of house via one fiber optic trunk.
