Questions
- How many CAT inputs does the FLEX-PROCAT-IN provide and what connector does it use?
- The card provides 4 CAT input ports using RJ45 (female) connectors, each accepting a CAT feed with scaling.
- What resolution, bandwidth, and HDCP level does the FLEX-PROCAT-IN support?
- Each input supports video resolutions up to 3840x2160 @60Hz 4:4:4 (8-bit) at a maximum data rate of 18Gbps, with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance and HDR support.
- Which transmitters connect to the FLEX-PROCAT-IN card?
- The FLEX-PROCAT-TX (standalone HDMI-to-CAT transmitter) and the FLEX-PROCATWP-TX (1-gang Decora-style wall plate version) both connect directly to the FLEX-PROCAT-IN card, each transmitting video, audio, and bi-directional RS-232 up to 330 ft (100M) over CAT6A.
- Which Flex Pro chassis models accept the FLEX-PROCAT-IN card?
- It is hot-swappable across all Flex Pro main frame models: FLEX-PRO16X16, FLEX-PRO32X32, FLEX-PRO64X64, and FLEX-PRO128X128.
- Does the FLEX-PROCAT-IN card require its own power adapter?
- No local power adapter is documented for the card itself; it is powered by the Flex Pro chassis, and the chassis in turn supplies PoC (Power over CAT) to power the connected CAT transmitter and receiver.
- Can the FLEX-PROCAT-IN be installed or removed without powering down the chassis?
- Yes. The card is hot-swappable with hot plug and auto detect, so it can be installed or replaced in a Flex Pro chassis card slot without taking the matrix offline.
- There is no signal on a FLEX-PROCAT-IN input. What should I check?
- Confirm a FLEX-PROCAT-TX or FLEX-PROCATWP-TX is connected at the far end and powered, verify the CAT run uses CAT6A and does not exceed 330 ft (100M), and reseat the connection at both ends.
- The Flex Pro chassis does not recognize an installed FLEX-PROCAT-IN card. What should I do?
- Reseat the card in its slot to ensure the backplane connector engages fully; the card supports hot plug and auto detect, so a proper seating should let the chassis pick it up automatically.
- Why choose the FLEX-PROCAT-IN over the FLEX-PROHDMI-IN or FLEX-PRODP-IN card?
- The FLEX-PROCAT-IN extends signal reach to 330 ft (100M) over CAT6A with PoC-powered remote transmitters, while the FLEX-PROHDMI-IN and FLEX-PRODP-IN cards are for local HDMI and DisplayPort sources connected directly at the chassis without that extension distance.
- What installation scenario is the FLEX-PROCAT-IN best suited for?
- It fits projects that need to bring remote HDMI sources into a Flex Pro matrix over standard CAT6A infrastructure, including wall plate source points using the FLEX-PROCATWP-TX, without running local power to the transmitter since PoC delivers power from the chassis over the same cable.
