It supports HSL Loop for chained display connectivity and is TAA compliant for public-sector procurement. The controller is designed to drive Planar video wall displays that accept CAT-based signal distribution, simplifying cabling across an array. Output assignment and supported display models should be matched to the target wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Planar video controller centralizes source management for a video wall, taking up to four HDMI inputs and feeding eight CAT outputs that carry video to compatible Planar displays. CAT-based distribution allows longer, lower-cost cable runs between the controller and each display compared with direct video cabling, which is useful in walls where panels are spread across a structure. Each of the eight outputs operates at 5Gb, and HSL Loop support enables looped connectivity for streamlined chaining within the system. The L version designation identifies this CAT-output model within Planar's controller lineup; a corresponding fiber-output model is also available for longer runs. As a system component, the controller is selected based on the number of displays in the wall, the input sources required, and the distribution method preferred for the site. The unit is TAA compliant, supporting government and regulated procurement.
