The Turtle AV Boardroom Buddy USB-C RX — 4K60 HDBaseT Receiver for USB-C Displays is the display-end receiver for Boardroom Buddy USB-C installations, delivering 4K60 4:4:4 video via a USB-C DisplayPort 1.4a output for environments where the display, interactive panel, or room AV system uses USB-C connectivity. USB data from the room's peripherals returns over the CAT cable to the presenter's USB-C device at the TX end. Three USB downstream ports, 3.5mm audio, RS-232 control, and 24V PoC power from the TX complete the unit.
