Turtle AV Darwin 4K RX — H.265 HDMI 4K AV over IP Receiver

Turtle AV

H.265 4K AV over IP HDMI receiver, PoE

The Turtle AV Darwin 4K RX — H.265 HDMI 4K AV over IP Receiver (TAV-DARWIN4K-RX) decodes an H.265/H.264 AV over IP stream from any Darwin 4K TX encoder on the network and delivers it as an HDMI output to the connected display, supporting output resolutions from HD to 4K30 over a standard 1G LAN with up to 100m reach via CAT5e/6/6a/7. Text-mode latency is 1 to 2 frames for KVM and presentation content; video mode is 3 to 4 frames. Analogue audio is provided via 3.5mm phoenix output, PoE draws power from the network switch without a local PSU, and RS-232 integrates the receiver into AV control systems for matrix switching. Designed for matrix AV over IP systems, multi-room video distribution, digital signage endpoints, and education AV networks.

Highlighted Features

  • H.265/H.264 4K Decoding: Decodes H.265 or H.264 AV over IP streams from Darwin 4K TX encoders — up to 4K30 HDMI output to the connected display
  • 100m over Standard CAT Cable: Receives over CAT5e/6/6a/7 up to 100m — ideal for building-wide AV distribution over existing LAN infrastructure
  • PoE Powered — No Local PSU: RJ45 with PoE draws power from the network switch — no local power point at the display end
  • Custom Output Resolution: Decoder supports custom output resolutions beyond the standard presets — adapts to non-standard display specifications
  • RS-232 AV Control: Serial port for matrix switching commands from AV control systems

The Turtle AV Darwin 4K RX is the ideal display-end decoder for Darwin 4K AV over IP systems — receiving H.265/H.264 network video streams and delivering them as HDMI outputs to any connected display, scalable from a single-room setup to a large campus-wide distribution network.

The Turtle AV Darwin 4K RX is the H.265/H.264 AV over IP decoder for Darwin 4K systems, receiving encoded network streams from Darwin 4K TX encoders and delivering them as HDMI outputs to connected displays. Output resolutions cover HD to 4K30 with custom resolution support, PoE eliminates local PSUs at display positions, and analogue audio is available via 3.5mm phoenix output alongside the HDMI signal. RS-232 integration allows AV control systems to switch sources at each display independently. The identical form factor to the Darwin 4K TX simplifies inventory and installation across matrix AV systems.

Key Features

  • H.265/H.264 Decoding: Decodes H.265 and H.264 network streams from Darwin 4K TX encoders
  • HDMI 1.4 Output: Delivers decoded video to the display via HDMI 1.4 — HDCP 1.4 compliant
  • Output Resolutions to 4K30: Output from 720p to 3840×2160@30Hz with custom resolution support
  • RGB 8-Bit HDMI Output: HDMI output at RGB 8-bit — accurate colour reproduction for displays of all types
  • Text Mode: 1–2 Frames Latency: Near-real-time latency in text mode for KVM and IT content reception
  • PoE LAN — No Local Power: PoE powers the receiver from the switch — no local power supply required at the display
  • Analogue Audio Output: 3.5mm phoenix audio output for local speaker or amplifier connection
  • RS-232 Control: AV control system integration for matrix source switching at the display
  • Compact 95 × 120 × 21.5mm, 303g: Ultra-slim form mounts behind displays or in cable channels — 303g metal enclosure
