Barco Pulse Quad Combo Input Mk II (DP 1.2, HDMI 2.0, 2x HDBaseT, 4x 12G/3G SDI) - R9864003

Product Overview

The Barco Pulse Quad Combo Input Mk II (R9864003) is a multi-format input card for Barco Pulse-based projectors, combining DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, dual HDBaseT and four 12G/3G-SDI connectors on a single board. It consolidates the most common professional signal types into one card slot, letting an operator feed a Pulse projector from nearly any source. The Mk II revision replaces the earlier R9864001 card. It is the workhorse input module for the UDX, UDM, HDX-4K and XDL projector lines.

Product Description

This card installs into the modular Pulse input bay and gives a single projector a comprehensive set of digital interfaces, as pictured. The DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 ports accept high-resolution computer and media-server output, the two HDBaseT inputs extend HDMI-class signals over structured cable, and the four 12G/3G-SDI BNCs handle broadcast and professional video. Inputs can be combined for higher-bandwidth formats where the projector firmware supports stitched processing.

Because it carries every mainstream interface on one board, the Quad Combo Input Mk II reduces the number of cards a rental or install technician must stock and swap. For fiber-based SDI transport on the same platform, pair it with the Barco SFP Input card (R9802253).
