The Darwin story continues with Darwin 4K. Designed to distribute stunning 4K60
4:4:4 video with hardware accelerated H.265 encoding, Darwin 4K delivers
exceptional image quality at remarkably low bitrates. Compact, powerful and simple
to deploy, Darwin supports PoE or DC power, unicast and multicast workflows, for
one to one, and one to many configurations.
Darwin 4K goes further. A single Darwin 4K RX can receive and display multiple
Darwin 4K TX streams as a single multiview output. Designed for sports bars, control
rooms and anywhere content needs to reach screens, Darwin 4K delivers scalable
AV over IP for installations of any size.

H.265. Hardware accelerated encoding.
The Darwin 4K leverages H.265 hardware acceleration for ultra-efficient video
compression, delivering stunning 4K quality at reduced bitrates.
One to One. One to Many.
Configure a direct 1-to-1 connection for simple point-to-point, or scale up with 1-to-
Many multicast, distributing your content to multiple endpoints simultaneously.
From Sports Bar to Mission Control.
One minute it’s every game on the wall. The next, the main event takes centre stage. Darwin 4K makes it easy to switch between overview and focus, delivering the flexibility needed for sports bars, security operations, network monitoring, control rooms, and live event environments.
36 Sources. One View.
Why choose between games when you can watch them all? Darwin 4K can display up to 36 sources simultaneously on a single 4K screen, giving operators, venues, and control rooms complete visibility at a glance. Every source is live, every source is available, and nothing gets missed.
Build Your Perfect Multiview.
Drag, resize, layer, and position windows exactly where you want them. Create custom layouts in seconds, save them as presets, and instantly recall the right view for any event, shift, or venue. From simple quad splits to complex 36-window mosaics, Darwin 4K adapts to the way you work.
Add Darwin 4K Control for extra features.
Adding Darwin 4K Control hardware to your Darwin 4K cluster adds a ton of
advanced features and simplifies management. Darwin 4K Control enables
centralized WebGUI management, API support, and robust security with AES256
encryption, HTTPS, and SSH login. Dual network ports separating AV and control
will keep the IT admins happy, while dual RS-232 ports and 4-channel GPIO control
enable precise device management and trigger automation. Drag-and-drop routing
with video previews and advanced video wall management makes managing your
network of Darwin 4K Transmitters and Receivers a breeze.
WebGUI for Centralized Management and Control.
Easily configure and manage your entire network of Darwin 4K Transmitters and Receivers through an intuitive WebGUI. Simplify complex setups with centralized control at your fingertips.
Super easy Drag-and-Drop Routing.
Routing signals has never been easier. Built directly into the WebGUI is an intuitive drag and drop interface, you can quickly and easily route one to one or one to many.
Analog Audio I/O.
Analog audio is covered on both TX and RX with a left and right analog input on the
Darwin TX and left and right Analog breakout on the RX. Both ends use Euroblock
connecters.
HDCP 1.4.
Ensure total compatibility and compliance with copyright standards using HDCP 1.4.
PoE. DC. Or both.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) streamlines installation with a single cable delivering both
power and data, alternatively you can power with the included PSU. Or use PoE and
DC for power redundancy.
Unicast. Multicast.
Darwin 4K supports both Unicast and Multicast. Use Unicast for direct, one-to-one
transmission, ensuring reliable performance with minimal network bandwidth. Switch
to Multicast for efficient one-to-many distribution, perfect for sending the same
content to multiple endpoints simultaneously.
Small Form Factor.
The compact design makes it effortless to mount discreetly behind screens or in tight
spaces. Perfect for sleek, professional installations.
Independent RS-232 routing.
Control each display independently with RS-232 routing, enabling precise
communication between devices. Customize commands for specific endpoints
without interfering with others, ensuring seamless integration and control in complex
AV setups.
Advanced EDID Management.
Darwin 4K simplifies connections with advanced EDID management, featuring
automatic detection, as well as the ability to load custom EDID tables directly
through the WebGUI.
Built tough with all metal chassis.
Darwin are all housed in an all-metal chassis for maximum ruggedness. And yes, we
painted them Turtle Aqua so you know it looks cool even if mounted under a table or
in a rack room where no one will ever see them.
Control. Your way.
With native Qsys driver support, Darwin 4K drops straight into the world’s leading control ecosystems.
Or take full control with our Unified API and build in any language you choose.
Bring a little bling bling to your rack and mount your Darwin 4K Tx and Rx Turtles with the optional rack-mount kits. With two available options you can rack up to 12pcs of Darwin in the 4RU Rack Kit, or 4pcs in 1RU Rack Kit.
Networking and Security. Keep the IT team happy.
Advanced security features include AES256 encryption, HTTPS, and SSH login. These features ensure your data and controls remain safe, and your network is protected from unauthorized access.
Turtle Aqua. 3262 C.
We’re calling it Turtle Aqua. You can too. The actual colour is 3262 C Pantone. We choose this colour so that even when you have them mounted in places you can see them you know they still look seriously cool.
