KanexPro 4-Output HDBaseT Card for Modular Matrix with 4K

The KanexPro MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K is a 4K-compliant, four-output HDBaseT extension card purpose-built for KanexPro’s HDMMX Modular matrix switchers. This twisted-pair card extends each output to remote displays over Cat6 cabling, delivering crisp 4K UHD video up to the far end of the room or campus. Optimized for installers who demand high bandwidth, long reach, and seamless integration within a modular AV ecosystem, the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K provides a reliable, scalable solution for distributing ultra-high-definition content across multiple displays with centralized control and routing. From corporate boardrooms to classrooms, digital signage networks to broadcast suites, this card helps you simplify cabling, minimize clutter, and maximize the impact of your video distribution system.

• 4K-capable quad-output extension: The MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K card provides four HDBaseT outputs that route four independent video paths from the KanexPro modular matrix to four displays. It supports 4Kx2K content at standard frame rates while maintaining excellent image quality, making it ideal for complex presentation rooms, training centers, and high-end digital signage installations.
• Long-reach HDBaseT distribution: Each output can carry video, audio, and control signals over standard Cat6 cabling for distances up to 70 meters (approximately 230 feet) per output. This enables centralized processing at the matrix while displays remain physically separated, reducing the need for an excessive number of HDMI cables and streamlining room layouts.
• Seamless integration with KanexPro modular matrices: Specifically designed to work with KanexPro HDMMX Modular matrix switchers, the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K integrates into a scalable, centralized AV infrastructure. It simplifies routing management, firmware updates, and system expansion, ensuring consistent performance across all outputs.
• Broad resolution support for flexible deployments: In addition to delivering 4Kx2K content, the card also supports 1080p and 1920x1080 resolutions. This broad compatibility ensures legacy displays and newer 4K panels can co-exist in the same system, enabling mixed setups and future-proofing your investment.
• Plug-and-play reliability with professional cabling: Designed to work with standard Cat6 twisted-pair cabling, the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K reduces installation time and costs while delivering dependable performance in commercial environments. The card’s build quality and compatibility with KanexPro hardware provide a cohesive, durable AV distribution solution.

How to install KanexPro 4-Output HDBaseT Card for Modular Matrix with 4K

Installing the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K is designed to be straightforward within a KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix environment. Follow these steps to ensure a reliable deployment and optimal performance across all outputs:

• Power down the KanexPro modular matrix and review the installation guide to identify the correct slot or bay for inserting the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K card. Confirm compatibility with your specific HDMMX chassis model before proceeding.
• Remove the chassis cover (if required) and insert the MOD-OUT-CAT6-4K into the designated expansion slot, aligning connectors with the backplane. Secure the card as instructed by the chassis manufacturer to prevent movement during operation.
• Connect four Cat6 cables to the four HDBaseT output ports on the card. Route these cables to the remote displays, HDBaseT receivers, or display matrices located in the intended viewing areas. Use shielded Cat6 or Cat6a cabling in environments with potential electromagnetic interference for best results.
• Power on the matrix and any connected devices. Access the matrix management interface (local control panel or web-based GUI) to detect the newly installed card and confirm all four outputs appear in the routing matrix.
• Configure routing per your room or campus layout. Assign video sources to the outputs as needed, and set EDID preferences, resolution downscaling, color space settings, and any audio routing options supported by your system. Save configurations and back up profiles for future changes.
• Perform end-to-end testing with actual content on each display. Verify video timing, edge detail, color accuracy, and any audio/video synchronization across all outputs. If issues arise, verify cable integrity, confirm HDBaseT negotiation with receivers, and ensure firmware on the matrix and card is current.
• Document the setup, including cable lengths, display models, routing maps, and firmware versions. This documentation will simplify future maintenance, troubleshooting, and potential upgrades as the network grows.

Frequently asked questions
