Turtle AV Darwin HD H.265 TX HDMI AV-over-IP Transmitter
The Darwin HD H.265 TX is a professional-grade AV-over-IP transmitter that delivers full-HD video (1080p60) with 4:4:4 chroma at low latency over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks. With hardware-accelerated H.265 compression, it preserves video quality while minimizing bandwidth usage — making it ideal for digital signage, corporate AV systems, video walls, and distributed display networks.
This transmitter supports both one-to-one and one-to-many (unicast or multicast) streaming modes, enabling flexible deployment for simple point-to-point links or scaled multi-display environments. It offers balanced analog audio breakout via Phoenix connectors, full EDID management with scaling, HDCP 1.4 compliance, and supports large video-wall configurations up to 9×9 displays. The compact, all-metal housing and PoE or DC power options simplify installation in racks, behind displays, or in network closets.
Durable, efficient, and future-proof, the Darwin HD TX is an excellent choice for integrators and AV professionals seeking a scalable, high-performance solution for network-based video distribution.
