Product Overview

The Christie TXO 102 SO Terra Transmitter (166-001102-01) is an SDVoE source endpoint that processes audiovisual and control signals for delivery over standard 10G networks. It supports video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz with zero-frame latency transport (under 100 microseconds) and accepts HDMI 2.0a or DisplayPort 1.2 input with HDCP 2.2 compliance. Routable control connections include RS-232, bidirectional IR, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet. As an SDVoE-compliant device, it works within Christie Terra systems or alongside third-party SDVoE components.

Product Description

The Terra Transmitter sits at the source end of an AV-over-IP system, encoding content for transport across a 10G network without the compression artifacts or delay of conventional streaming. Video is uncompressed, except for 4K/60 formats (8-bit 4:4:4, 10-bit 4:2:2, 10-bit and 12-bit 4:2:0), which use an artifact-free, ultra-lightweight 1.3-to-1 compression ratio. One switchable input accepts HDMI 2.0a or DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz, with HDR, 3D, and Deep Color pass-through. On-board processing handles color space, bit depth, and frame rate conversion plus broadcast-quality scaling in both directions. Audio support spans analog stereo via 3.5mm input and HDMI-embedded multi-channel PCM, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Routable RS-232, bidirectional IR, USB 2.0 (for KVM), and 1000BaseT Ethernet extend control alongside the video. Content rides a 10G SFP+ link with AES 128-bit encryption, and a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver for OM3/OM4 multimode fiber is supplied. Front LEDs validate video, transmit/receive, Ethernet, USB, and power status. See the full Terra system in our Christie Digital collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the video truly uncompressed?

Video is uncompressed except for 4K/60 input formats (8-bit 4:4:4, 10-bit 4:2:2, 10/12-bit 4:2:0), which use an ultra-lightweight, artifact-free 1.3-to-1 compression ratio per Christie vendor data.

What inputs does the transmitter accept?

One switchable input handles HDMI 2.0a or DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4096×2160@60Hz with HDCP 2.2, plus analog stereo audio via 3.5mm jack.

Does it support KVM?

Yes. USB 2.0 is routed alongside the video so endpoints can access and control AV sources with keyboard and mouse interfaces.

What fiber transceiver is included?

It ships with a generic coded 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm LC-LC transceiver for OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber.

Will it work with third-party SDVoE gear?

Yes. The transmitter is SDVoE-compliant and operates with third-party SDVoE components, displays, and devices as well as Christie Terra systems.
