Colorlight VX20 is a versatile video processor developed by Colorlight, succeeding the VX10 in the VX series. It excels in controlling and processing video display, and provides 3 operational modes — Video processor mode, Fiber optic transceiver mode, and Bypass mode — making it ideal for diverse scenarios like stage rentals, grand performances and commercial exhibitions.
VX20 is capable of handling up to 13.1 million pixels, and features HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2, 12G-SDI, and HDMI 1.4 input ports for 4K video input. It can also transmit processed video content to LED displays via 1G Ethernet or 10G fiber ports. It supports 8/10/12-bit video input and 8/10-bit video output at super high definition, and allows for scaling and cropping of videos while maintaining high visual fidelity. Moreover, the device supports the display of BKG, OSD, and logos, and provides Multiviewer at high resolution.
In terms of signal reliability and data security, the VX20 delivers robust features such as hot backup, fiber port backup or copying, and Ethernet port redundancy configurations. Such versatility positions VX20 as an optimal companion for high-end rental scenarios and fine-pitch video walls.
When it comes to operation, VX20 offers intuitive Web-based controls, and is compatible with multiple operation systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. With a single network cable, users can control VX20 and manage the display on the screen without the need for extra software installation, which can best meet the demands of stage rental applications.

- 2X HDMI 2.0+2X HDMI 2.0_LOOP
- 2X DP 1.2
- 2X 12G-SDI+2X 12G-SDLLOOP
- 4X HDMI 1.4‘+4X HDMI 1.4_LOOP
‘Only supports 2X HDMI1.4or4X HDMI1.3 inputs at the same time.
Large load capacity
- Total capacity: up to 13.1 million pixels
- Max. width: 16,384 pixels; Max. height: 8192 pixels
- 20X Gigabit Ethernet ports for output
- 4 x 10G fiber ports for output:
– Fiber 1 and Fiber 2 work as the primary fiber output ports, respectively serving as
the alternatives to the Ethernet port l~10 and Ethernet port 11-20. The fiber ports
take precedence as the output ports over the Ethernet ports when both these 2
types of ports are connected.
– Fiber 3 and Fiber 4 work as the backup fiber output ports, either copying or backing
up the output from Fiber 1 and Fiber 2 respectively. - 1 X HDMI 2.0 port for output
—Connects to a monitor for viewing the image of PVW, PGM, and all input signals.
High image quality, true 4K

- True HDR
- Supports HDR10 and complies with SMPTE 2086/2084
- Supports HLG
- Input color depth: 8/10/12 bit
- Output color depth: 8/10 bit
- Framerate: upto240Hz
Versatile
Supports multiple working modes
- – Video processor mode: receives and processes multiple video sources, 3 of which can be selected and outputted to the receiving cards with 1 frame delay by default.
- – Fiber optic transceiver mode: uses Fiberl/Fiber2 as the input ports for receiving the video signal from another VX-series device, and outputs the signal via the Ethernet ports to the screen.
- – Bypass mode: receives multiple video sources, 1 of which can deselected and outputted to the screen with 0 frame delay.
Powerful video processing
- Canvas view: PVW&PGM / PGM Only
– PVW&PGM: The PVW image can be viewed and edited in Multiviewer. Next, it can be sent to the area of PGM for displaying on the screen via the Take/Cut button.
– PGM Only: Modifications to layers on the PGM area can be viewed in Multiviewer and will be simultaneously applied to the display.
– The loading capacities of the Ethernet ports for these two views are both 13.1 million pixels. - Multi-layer display: supports displaying 3 layers (all at 4k resolution) at a time, and
allows for image splicing and Picture-in-Picture (PiP). - Supports scaling and cropping of video sources.
- Supports opacity settings for overlays.
- Supports fade in/out.
- Supports precise color management.
- Multiple supported color formats: RGB, YCbCr444, and YCbCr422.
