TurtleAV Darwin HD TX HD Video Encoder
The Darwin HD TX is TurtleAV's HD-resolution AV over IP encoder, the tier below Chazy 4K for the rooms where 1080p is the requirement and the budget per endpoint matters more than 4:4:4 4K. It sits on the same kind of network infrastructure and is installed the same way.
Security is handled at the transport: HTTPS and SSH for management, AES256 video encryption and access management on the stream. Dual 1G network ports with PoE, dual RS-232 ports and IR signal support cover the control side, and the API is compatible with Q-SYS, Crestron and other common control platforms, so it drops into an existing programming stack rather than demanding its own.
