⚙️ Modular Configuration
The H20 features a modular design - configure it with your choice of input and output cards
📊 Max Loading Capacity by Output Card (20 slots)
| Output Card | Configuration | Per Card | Total (20 slots) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16xRJ45+2xFiber | 16× Gigabit Ethernet + 2× 10G Fiber (8 ports/fiber, redundant backup of the 16 RJ45) | 10.4 million pixels | 208 million pixels |
| 20xRJ45 | 20× Gigabit Ethernet | 13 million pixels | 260 million pixels |
| 4xFiber | 4× 10G Fiber — 8 ports per CVT10 (4 × 8 = 32 ports) | 20.8 million pixels | 416 million pixels |
| 4xFiber Enhanced | 4 active + 4 redundant 10G Fiber — 10 ports per CVT10 (40 loading; up to 8 CVT10 / 80 ports wired) | 26 million pixels | 520 million pixels |
Total = per-card capacity × 20 output slots. Each Gigabit (RJ45) port loads ~0.65M pixels. Fiber cards feed CVT10 converters (one fiber → 10 RJ45 ports): the standard 4× Fiber card drives 8 ports per fiber (4 × 8 = 32 ports → 20.8M), while the Enhanced card drives 10 ports per fiber and adds redundancy — 4 active + 4 backup fibers, so up to 8 CVT10s (80 ports) can be wired but only 40 load (26M). The 16×RJ45+2×Fiber card uses its 2 fibers (8 ports each) as a redundant backup of its 16 RJ45 outputs.
