Product Description

As shown in the product image, the R9004786B Tri-Combo output card is a modular board that installs into an output slot in a compatible Event Master chassis. Its three connector families give integrators a choice of interface on a single card: one DisplayPort 1.2 connector, one HDMI 2.0 connector, and four 12G-SDI (BNC) connectors. The card carries full-quality 4K@60p 4:4:4 on a single cable, with color sampling up to UHD@60p 4:4:4 8-bit over HDMI 2.0, up to UHD@60p 4:4:4 10-bit over DisplayPort 1.2, and up to UHD@60p 4:2:2 10-bit over 12G-SDI. Output rotation of 90, 180, or 270 degrees supports portrait and rotated displays, and both DisplayPort and HDMI outputs are HDCP compliant (HDCP 1.4 on DP, HDCP 2.2 on HDMI). The card is compatible across the Event Master line, including E2, E2 Gen 2, E2 Jr, E2 Tri-Combo, EX, EX Tri-Combo, S3 Standalone, S3 Tri-Combo, and the S3-4K family, and it is TAA compliant. Integrators building a complete processing chain can pair it with VPU and input cards from our Barco collection. Contact Creation Networks for output configuration guidance.
