The H_4x HDBaseT Input Card lets a NovaStar H-Series processor receive video over standard RJ45 Cat cabling using HDBaseT, with four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports for long-distance signal extension. It supports both single link mode, where all four connectors are active at up to 1920x1080@60Hz each, and dual link mode, where connectors 2 and 4 carry up to 3840x2160@30Hz. The card is HDCP 1.4 compliant, supports accompanied audio, and works with the H2, H5, H9, H15, and H20 processors.

Ideal Applications
Perfect for a wide range of professional LED display scenarios
Running video long distances over inexpensive Cat cabling instead of HDMI/DVI
Large venues, lecture halls, and houses of worship with remote source locations
Permanent installs where structured RJ45 cabling is already in place
Bringing remote 4K@30Hz sources to the wall over a single HDBaseT link
Why an HDBaseT input card?
HDBaseT carries video, audio, and control over a single standard RJ45 Cat cable, which makes it ideal when sources are far from the processor. This card adds four HDBaseT receive ports to an H-Series unit, so you can pull remote feeds across the room or building without expensive long HDMI runs.
Choose this card when distance is the challenge. Single link mode gives you four full-HD inputs over four cables; dual link mode trades two connectors for higher bandwidth, supporting 4K@30Hz on a single link. Accompanied audio rides along with the video, and HDCP 1.4 keeps protected content compliant.
