H_Control Card

The H_Control Card provides various control and connectivity options:

• GENLOCK: Supports bi-level and tri-level signals. IN accepts the Genlock signal, LOOP loops the Genlock signal.
• ETHERNET: A Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to a control PC, router, switch, or PC for Web control and NovaLCT screen configuration.
• USB 1 & USB 2: 2x USB 2.0 ports for device program updates and configuration parameter import/export. USB connectors cannot provide power.
• COM: A serial port using an RJ45 connector (T568A wiring sequence) for central control systems. IN accepts commands for H series devices. OUT outputs custom commands for other devices. The COM port cannot connect to a network or be used for device cascading control.
• Power switch: ON powers the device, OFF powers it off.
• Specifications: Weight: 500 g, Dimensions: 193 mm × 247.12 mm x 21.15 mm, Power consumption: 6.2 W.

Limitation On Use

• If the total layer quantity in the current preset or the preset to be switched exceeds 16x SL layers, 8x DL layers, or 4x 4K layers, the fade transition effect is not supported; cut transition is enabled by default.
• Layer capacity is matched with input connector capacity. If the input source specification is lower than the connector capacity, the latter prevails. For example, if a 1080p source is connected to an HDMI 2.0 connector for a layer, the layer capacity is 4K, not SL.
• Only the H_4xfiber input card supports input mosaic on a single card; the mosaic source cannot be cropped.
• The backup relationship cannot be set for NDI or IPC sources.

Applications

Notes and Cautions

Notes For Battery

• The battery is not intended to be replaced.
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Notes for Installation

When installing the product on a rack, use at least 8 M5*8 screws. The rack must support at least four times the total weight of the mounted equipment.

• A. Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, consider the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
• B. Reduced Air Flow: Ensure adequate airflow for safe operation.
• C. Mechanical Loading: Mount the equipment to avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading.
• D. Circuit Overloading: Consider the connection to the supply circuit and the effect of overloading on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use equipment nameplate ratings.
• E. Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment, paying attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., power strips).
