444K-TX966

Overview

The Smart-e 444K-TX966 is a professional 19″ rack-mount HDBaseT splitter built for installers who need to send a single 4K UHD source to multiple displays without sacrificing image quality, control, or reliability. Take one HDMI input, split it internally, and deliver true 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video — plus IR, RS232, and power — to up to 8 displays over standard Cat 6/6A cable, up to 100m away.

Whether you’re outfitting a retail chain, a digital signage network, a classroom, or an entertainment venue, the 444K-TX966 turns a single video source into a fully controllable multi-display deployment — with none of the bulky extra power supplies or complex wiring that usually comes with it.

Why Installers Choose the 444K-TX966

Uncompromising 4K Performance With 18Gbps bandwidth, HDMI 1.4 support, and full 4:4:4 chroma sampling, the 444K-TX966 delivers crisp, true-to-source 4K@60Hz video with HDR and HDR10 support — no banding, no color compression, no shortcuts. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures full compatibility with protected 4K content.

Reaches Where You Need It Send video up to 100m over standard Cat 6/6A cable (70m at full 4K60), so displays can be mounted exactly where they belong — not where the cable run is easiest.

One Cable Does It All Each output run carries video, full-duplex RS232, wide-band IR (20K–60KHz), and 24V POC power to the receiver — all over a single Cat cable. No local power supply needed at every display. Less hardware, less clutter, faster installs.

Built to Scale Start with 8 outputs and grow. The HDMI looping input and RS232/IR cascade ports let you chain up to 5 units together for a 20-output solution — ideal for growing signage networks and multi-room venues.

Full Remote Control, Both Ways Full-duplex RS232 pass-through means control signals travel in both directions — send commands out to the display, or receive control data back from the source. Combined with wide-bandwidth IR pass-through and CEC compliance, the whole installation stays centrally controllable.

Professional, Rack-Ready Build A compact 1U (44mm) rack-mount chassis with mounting brackets fits straight into any AV rack. EDID management smooths out handshake issues across mixed displays, and a secure, lockable DC power connector keeps the installation rock solid.

• Classrooms & lecture halls — distributing a single presentation feed across multiple screens
