4K HDMI Input for VS-1616D

The UHD-IN2-F16 is a two-channel HDMI input card for VS-1616 Series Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switchers. The product title specifically identifies it as a 4K HDMI input for the VS-1616D. Its stated function is to bring two HDMI signals into the host chassis. Video support is specified as 4K at 60Hz with 4:2:0 color sampling, accompanied by a listed bandwidth of 8.91Gbps.

Ideal Use Cases

The clearest fit is an existing or planned VS-1616 Series matrix system that requires a two-channel HDMI input card. It suits signal plans built around two HDMI feeds and a defined 4K60 4:2:0 operating profile. The supplied title highlights the VS-1616D application, while the source description identifies compatibility with the VS-1616 Series of modular multi-format digital matrix switchers.

Because the platform, channel count, refresh rate, and color-sampling format are stated, the card can be evaluated against a specific matrix design. It is intended for use as an input component within the supported chassis rather than as a complete matrix switcher.

Why Choose This Model

Select the UHD-IN2-F16 when the system requires two HDMI inputs and the intended signals match its listed 4K60 4:2:0 capability. The source data provides more detail than a general 4K designation: it identifies two channels, a 60Hz refresh rate, 4:2:0 color sampling, and 8.91Gbps bandwidth. Together, these details define the operating profile available for system planning.

The exact model designation is UHD-IN2-F16, while the supplied ordering SKU is UHD-IN2-F16/STANDALONE. These identifiers help distinguish the card when specifying or ordering an input solution for the named matrix platform.

Installation and Integration

The UHD-IN2-F16 should be planned as a component of a compatible VS-1616 Series chassis. Before ordering, confirm that the target chassis corresponds to the compatibility information in the product title and source description. Once integrated into the intended chassis, the card receives two HDMI signals and introduces them into the matrix system.

The supplied data does not state slot requirements, dimensions, weight, power consumption, firmware requirements, mounting procedures, or hot-swap behavior. Those details should therefore be confirmed separately rather than assumed. The source also does not identify any included accessories or cables.

For external cable planning, the technical source references multiple male-to-male HDMI cable families. These include standard, flexible, flat, Ethernet-capable, and plenum-rated options, with listed lengths ranging from 0.3 meters to 22.9 meters across the referenced families. Some of those cable listings specify K-Lock connectors. These are cable references only; no cable is identified as part of the card package.

Performance Highlights

The principal performance specification is 4K video at 60Hz using 4:2:0 color sampling. The listed bandwidth is 8.91Gbps. These values provide a more precise signal profile than resolution alone, allowing the refresh rate and sampling format to be considered when matching sources to the matrix configuration.

Its two-channel design permits two HDMI signals to enter the chassis through the card. No specifications are supplied for HDR, HDCP, HDMI version, 4K at 120Hz, input latency, audio processing, or additional video formats, so those capabilities are not claimed for this listing.

What Makes It Different

The UHD-IN2-F16 is defined by a narrow, platform-specific purpose: adding two 4K60 4:2:0 HDMI input channels to a VS-1616 Series modular matrix environment. It combines a stated host platform with an explicit channel count and signal format, reducing uncertainty about its intended role. Rather than presenting a broad collection of unrelated functions, the source data consistently identifies it as an HDMI input card that feeds two signals into the chassis.

Final Assessment

For a VS-1616 Series system requiring two HDMI input channels, the UHD-IN2-F16 offers a clearly documented combination of 4K resolution, 60Hz refresh, 4:2:0 sampling, and 8.91Gbps bandwidth. Confirm the chassis model and required signal profile before selection. When those requirements align, the card performs its stated task of bringing two HDMI feeds into the modular matrix chassis.
