H_4×HDBASET INPUT CARD | Carte d'Entrée Quadruple HDBaseT Novastar H | 4x RJ45

The Novastar H_4×HDBASET INPUT CARD is a professional-grade expansion module designed for the Novastar H-Series modular video wall processors (H2, H5, H9, and H15). This high-density input card features four HDBaseT ports using standard RJ45 connectors, allowing for the simultaneous reception of UHD video, audio, and RS-232 control signals over a single Ethernet cable. By utilizing HDBaseT technology, this card eliminates the need for expensive HDMI extenders, significantly reducing cable clutter and installation complexity while maintaining signal integrity at distances up to 100 meters.

Engineered for mission-critical environments, this card supports high resolutions up to 4K, ensuring that your LED display maintains exceptional image clarity and color depth. Its hot-swappable design ensures seamless integration and maintenance without powering down the entire system, providing the reliability required for large-scale LED video wall deployments where uptime is paramount.

State-of-the-Art Signal Processing for H-Series Chassis

In the world of high-end LED display architecture, signal stability and latency management are critical. The H_4×HDBASET INPUT CARD leverages HDBaseT 2.0 standards to provide uncompressed high-definition video transmission. Unlike traditional copper HDMI or DVI cables that suffer from signal degradation over 15 meters, this card enables reliable 4K signal acquisition over Cat5e/6/7 cabling reaching up to 100 meters.

High-Density Integration and Reliability

• Ultra-Low Latence: Essential for live broadcast and interactive LED environments, the card maintains sub-millisecond processing speeds, preventing lip-sync issues.
• Signal Integrity: High-performance ESD protection ensures the electronics remain safe from static and surges often found in large stadium installations.
• Bandwidth Management: Each of the four ports provides dedicated bandwidth to handle high refresh rate content without artifacts or frame dropping.
• Hot-Swappable Architecture: The modular nature of the Novastar H series allows this card to be replaced or moved between slots without interrupting the global pixel processing of the video wall.

By integrating RS-232 control signals alongside the video stream, technicians can manage source devices remotely, simplifying the control layer of the entire LED ecosystem.

Professional Deployment Scenarios

The H_4×HDBASET INPUT CARD is a versatile solution for varied high-performance LED display applications:

• Corporate Auditoriums and Campus Sites: Ideal for scenarios where the source PC or media server is located in a distant control room while the LED wall is center stage.
• Command and Control Rooms: Provides the necessary reliability and input density to manage multiple data feeds across a massive UHD LED canvas with various viewing angles.
• Sports Stadiums and Arenas: Perfect for transmitting live feeds over long distances from the pitch-side cameras to the main scoreboard or perimeter LED screens.
• Luxury Retail and Digital Signage: Simplifies cabling in complex retail layouts where the player must be hidden far from the slim-pitch SMD LED displays.
• Live Events and Concerts: Facilitates rapid setup and teardown by using lightweight, durable Ethernet cables instead of bulky SDI or HDMI looms.

Technical Implementation and Optimization

To maximize the performance of your H_4×HDBASET INPUT CARD, consider the following technical guidelines:

• Cabling Standards: For 4K resolutions and maximum distance, we recommend shielded Cat6A or Cat7 cables. Ensure connectors are properly crimped to prevent signal flicker or sync loss.
• Managing Distance: While rated for 100 meters, signal quality depends on the quality of the HDBaseT transmitter. In environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensure the use of shielded twisted pair (STP) cables.
• Controller Scaling: Within the Novastar H-Series web interface, ensure each HDBaseT input is correctly mapped to the desired screen layers to utilize the processor's internal hardware scaling and 10-bit color depth processing.
• Maintenance: Periodically check the RJ45 ports for dust or oxidation, which can affect the high-frequency data transmission required for high-nit, high-resolution LED walls.
