4K HDMI Output for VS-1616D

The UHD-OUT2-F16 is a two-channel HDMI output card developed for VS-1616 Series Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switchers, with the product listing identifying VS-1616D use. Installed within the matrix chassis, it provides two HDMI signal outputs. Its documented video capability is 4K at 60Hz with 4:2:0 chroma sampling, supported by a listed bandwidth of 8.91Gbps.

Ideal Use Cases

This card is intended for VS-1616 Series configurations that require two HDMI outputs from the chassis. It fits system designs where the specified output target is 4K at 60Hz using 4:2:0 chroma sampling. The two-channel format also provides a defined channel count when configuring a modular matrix around the required number of HDMI destinations.

The UHD-OUT2-F16 is particularly relevant when the chassis and output-card model must be specified separately. Its focused role makes it suitable for new matrix configurations as well as compatible VS-1616 Series systems being configured with two HDMI output channels. No support for other matrix families is identified in the supplied information.

Why Choose This Model

The principal reason to select the UHD-OUT2-F16 is its combination of chassis compatibility, channel count, and documented signal capability. It is specifically described as an output card for the VS-1616 Series rather than as a general-purpose external HDMI device. That distinction helps narrow component selection for a modular system.

Each card supplies two HDMI output channels from the chassis. The source data also identifies a 60Hz refresh rate and 8.91Gbps bandwidth. These concrete values allow the card to be compared with the requirements of the connected signal path without relying on an unspecified performance category.

Installation and Integration

The UHD-OUT2-F16 is designed to operate as part of a compatible VS-1616 Series Modular Multi-Format Digital Matrix Switcher. Installation therefore centers on the matrix chassis rather than on a separate standalone signal enclosure. The supplied data does not specify slot placement, configuration steps, hot-swap capability, power requirements, dimensions, or included accessories. Those details should be confirmed from the documentation for the applicable chassis and installation.

The source data references several HDMI cable families for connection planning. Listed options include C-HM/HM/PRO cable lengths from 0.9 to 19.8 meters, CP-HM/HM/ETH plenum-rated lengths from 4.6 to 15.2 meters, and C-HM/HM PREMIUM lengths from 0.9 to 15.2 meters. It also lists flexible C-MHM/MHM cable lengths from 0.3 to 10.7 meters and flat C-HM/HM/FLAT/ETH lengths from 1.8 to 22.9 meters. These cable references do not indicate that any cable is included with the card.

Performance Highlights

The card's documented output specification is 4K at 60Hz with 4:2:0 chroma sampling. The provided technical data lists an 8.91Gbps bandwidth and a 60Hz refresh rate. It also confirms that two HDMI signals can be output from the chassis through the card.

The supplied information does not identify the HDMI version, HDCP support, HDR compatibility, audio capabilities, ARC or eARC support, or additional supported resolutions and refresh rates. The 8.91Gbps value is presented as the card's bandwidth, but the source does not state whether that value applies per channel or across the card.

What Makes It Different

The UHD-OUT2-F16 is defined by a specific modular function: adding two 4K60 4:2:0 HDMI output channels to a compatible VS-1616 Series chassis. It is not described as a complete matrix switcher or an external distribution unit. This card-based format lets the output component be selected according to the modular chassis configuration.

Its model designation also directly communicates its role within the system: UHD output, two channels, and F16-series chassis compatibility. The ordering SKU is UHD-OUT2-F16/STANDALONE, while the card itself is identified as model UHD-OUT2-F16.

Final Assessment

The UHD-OUT2-F16 is a focused choice for a VS-1616 Series matrix configuration requiring two HDMI outputs. Its key selection criteria are straightforward: two output channels, 4K at 60Hz operation with 4:2:0 chroma sampling, and listed 8.91Gbps bandwidth. Before final system specification, confirm any requirements involving HDMI version, HDCP, HDR, audio handling, chassis slot configuration, physical dimensions, power, and warranty, as those details are not included in the supplied product data.
