Planar 4-Out Video Controller – HDMI to Fiber

Product Overview

The Planar 4-Out Video Controller (L version) is a video wall controller that accepts four HDMI inputs and distributes four fiber outputs at 10Gb each. It supports HSL Loop for chained display connectivity and is TAA compliant for public-sector procurement. Fiber distribution supports long cable runs between the controller and displays, making it suited to installations where the equipment room is far from the wall. Output assignment and supported display models should be matched to the target wall.

Product Description

This Planar video controller manages sources for a video wall using fiber-based distribution, taking up to four HDMI inputs and feeding four fiber outputs that carry high-bandwidth video to compatible Planar displays. Fiber runs support significantly longer distances than copper cabling with strong noise immunity, which is valuable when the controller and source equipment are located well away from the display surface. Each of the four outputs operates at 10Gb, providing headroom for high-resolution content, and HSL Loop support enables looped connectivity for streamlined chaining within the system. The L version designation identifies this model within Planar's controller lineup; a CAT-output controller is also available for shorter standard runs. As a system component, the controller is selected based on the number of displays, the input sources required, and the distribution distance for the site. The unit is TAA compliant, supporting government and regulated procurement.
