Resolutions up to 4K and 48-bit colour depth are handled with all standard audio formats as well as 120Hz 3D signals. The board offers bi-directional RS-232 and Ethernet transmission (each board has a 10/100 uplink connector for the Ethernet network connection) and remote powering option for the TPS 95 series extenders. The built-in PoE injector function requires the supplied PSU-12vp external power source to be connected directly to the board.
