RGB Spectrum marks this part NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS in its current price list, which makes it an installed-base part: order it as a spare, or to add a matching card to a chassis whose other output cards are already MD-4D-4. New control room and command center video walls should be specified on the current Zio AD series output cards. Creation Networks will quote either and will state which is appropriate for your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutput cards set the display capability of a Zio 4000 processor. The MD-4D-4 delivers four DisplayPort outputs supporting up to 4Kp60 each, and with the published maximum of four cards per chassis a fully populated processor reaches sixteen DisplayPort outputs. DisplayPort suits video wall panels and large-format displays that take DP natively and avoids the adapter dependency that HDMI-only output cards can introduce on long runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current price list, however, prints NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS against this part number. The card remains orderable and covered by the RGB Spectrum manufacturer warranty, but a video wall designed around it now will reach end of life earlier than one built on the current generation.
