Turtle AV Darwin Control Central Management Box
The Turtle AV Darwin Control Central Management Box provides streamlined, centralized AV-over-IP management for DARWIN HD systems. Designed for professional AV installations, it delivers intuitive control from a built-in browser GUI, allowing drag-and-drop routing, live previews, and flexible video wall configuration — all accessible over standard LAN networks. With AES-256 encryption and secure access protocols, it ensures networked AV is both powerful and safe.
Equipped with dual 1 Gb LAN ports (one supporting PoE), dual RS-232 ports, IR input/output, digital I/O, and API support for major control ecosystems, this unit is built for complex, scalable AV deployments. It supports advanced routing features including one-to-one, one-to-many, multicast and unicast distribution, and video-wall layouts up to 9×9 displays. Whether used for corporate boardrooms, digital signage networks, broadcast installations, or large-scale control rooms, Darwin Control unifies management with simplicity and precision.
Housed in a rugged metal chassis with a 5-year limited warranty, the Darwin Control box delivers reliable long-term performance. Its compact footprint, flexible power options (PoE or DC), and wide compatibility with the Darwin HD ecosystem make it a cornerstone for any AV-over-IP infrastructure requiring centralized control and distributed deployment.
