Using efficient H.265 compression, it preserves exceptional image quality while minimizing bandwidth usage—ideal for high-performance video distribution to displays, monitors, projectors, and more.
True HD Quality with Low-Latency Transmission
This transmitter utilizes H.265 hardware acceleration to deliver high-definition video with exceptional clarity and reduced bitrate. Its support for 4:4:4 color subsampling ensures accurate color reproduction for detail-rich visuals and real-time performance.
Integrated Balanced Audio Support
Connect analog audio easily through dedicated breakout I/O connectors, supporting left/right balanced audio to complement your video stream with clean, synchronized sound.
Flexible Signal Distribution Options
- Point-to-Point Simplicity: Establish direct one-to-one connections for minimal-latency performance using limited network resources.
- Multicast Scalability: Expand to one-to-many configurations, simultaneously distributing video to multiple endpoints.
Streamlined Powering Solutions
Power the transmitter using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for single-cable installation, or use the included DC power supply. For added reliability, PoE and DC can be used together to provide power redundancy.
Intuitive Configuration & Management
Use the built-in web GUI to configure and manage all Darwin devices with ease. A drag-and-drop interface simplifies signal routing for both direct and multicast setups. Advanced EDID management enables automatic recognition or manual upload of custom EDID profiles directly from the interface.
Advanced Video Wall Integration
Supports video wall arrays up to 9x9 (81 displays total). The Darwin Control GUI includes a comprehensive Video Wall Manager, offering tools to create and manage display groups and configure layouts (e.g., 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or custom arrangements). Bezel compensation, live previews, and on-the-fly layout editing make it ideal for signage, control rooms, and live displays.
Secure and Scalable Network Integration
With AES 256-bit encryption, HTTPS, and SSH login, the Darwin transmitter protects your network and AV data. Full API support ensures seamless control integration with platforms like Q-SYS, Crestron, and other third-party control systems.
Durable, Space-Saving Design
Its compact, all-metal chassis in signature Turtle Aqua is designed for easy installation behind displays or in tight equipment spaces—ideal for professional, discreet deployments.
Enhanced System Management with Optional Darwin Control Hardware
Adding Darwin Control hardware to your system unlocks centralized configuration, dual-network port separation for AV and control, dual RS-232 ports, and 4-channel GPIO control for automation. It includes advanced drag-and-drop routing with live previews, giving you complete command over your Darwin HD transmitters and receivers.
Government-Ready Compliance
All Turtle AV products sold in the U.S. are TAA compliant, meeting U.S. federal procurement standards for ethical sourcing and manufacturing, making them ideal for use in government and institutional environments.
