AVPro Edge x2 HDBaseT Outputs - 18Gbps 4K60 4:4:4 (ICT Support, No CEC)

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-AXION-OUT-HDBT-L is a dual HDBaseT output card designed for the AC-AXION-X modular matrix chassis, providing two independent HDBaseT outputs capable of carrying 18Gbps 4K60 4:4:4 signals to remote displays over standard CAT cabling. It includes ICT (Insecure Content Transmission) support for installations that require content delivery without HDCP enforcement at the endpoint. CEC pass-through is not supported on this output card, which should be noted during system design when display power control via HDMI-CEC is a project requirement. This card is an essential building block for integrators constructing large, modular AV matrix systems with HDBaseT distribution.

Product Description

Installed into any available output slot of the AC-AXION-X modular matrix chassis, the AC-AXION-OUT-HDBT-L card provides two fully independent HDBaseT output channels. Each channel supports video signals up to 18Gbps — covering 4K60 at full 4:4:4 chroma — transmitted over CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a cabling to compatible HDBaseT receivers. The card's ICT support allows content to be transmitted without requiring HDCP authentication at the output, which is critical in environments such as government facilities, military installations, or corporate AV where content protection enforcement conflicts with legacy or non-HDCP-capable display equipment. Because CEC is not passed through on this card, integrators requiring HDMI-CEC-based display control should plan for alternative control pathways such as RS-232 or IP-based display control. The modular card format means the dual output capability can be mixed and matched with other AXION input and output cards within the same chassis, allowing a single frame to serve diverse distribution needs including HDMI direct, fiber, and HDBaseT outputs simultaneously.

Key Features

• Dual independent HDBaseT outputs in a single AXION chassis card slot
• 18Gbps bandwidth per output supporting 4K60 4:4:4 full chroma video
• ICT support for installations where HDCP enforcement at the output is not required
• Transmits over CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a to compatible HDBaseT receivers
• Modular card design for the AC-AXION-X chassis — mix and match with other I/O cards
• CEC not supported — plan for RS-232 or IP-based display control
• Suitable for professional AV matrix builds serving multiple zones from a single frame

Typical Applications

• Corporate and government AV matrix systems distributing 4K video to conference rooms over structured CAT cabling
• Military and secure facility installs where ICT allows content bypass of HDCP enforcement on classified systems
• University and campus AV where a centralized AXION matrix serves multiple classroom displays
• Large venue AV with a mix of HDBaseT and direct-connect outputs in the same chassis
• Broadcast and post-production facilities with modular routing requirements

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What chassis does this output card require?

The AC-AXION-OUT-HDBT-L is designed exclusively for the AVPro Edge AC-AXION-X modular matrix chassis. It cannot be used as a standalone device.

Why is CEC not supported on this card?

CEC pass-through is not included on this specific output card variant. If your installation requires HDMI-CEC-based display power or source switching control, consider using RS-232 or IP control to the display, or select a different AXION output card that includes CEC support.

What does ICT support mean for this card?

ICT (Insecure Content Transmission) allows video to be transmitted without HDCP authentication at the HDBaseT output endpoint. This is required in specific government, military, and corporate environments where certain displays are not HDCP-capable but the content owner permits distribution without active copy protection.

Can I mix this card with HDMI output cards in the same AXION chassis?

Yes. The AC-AXION-X chassis accepts multiple different input and output card types simultaneously, so you can combine HDBaseT, HDMI, and fiber output cards within the same frame to serve different distribution zones.
