HDMI 2.0 Output Card for FLEX Modular Matrix
KanexPro FLEX-HDMI12OUT 12-port HDMI 2.0 output card with 18Gbps, HDCP 2.2, HDR, and 4K60 4:4:4 support for FLEX modular matrix switcher chassis.
Drive up to 12 HDMI displays from a single card slot in any KanexPro FLEX modular matrix chassis. The FLEX-HDMI12OUT is a hot-swappable HDMI output card that delivers 3× to 6× the port density of competing output cards, reducing chassis slots, rack space, and total system cost for large-display installations. Each of the 12 outputs supports 18Gbps bandwidth at up to 4K 3840×2160 @60Hz 4:4:4 with HDCP 2.2 content protection and full HDR pass-through. Designed for hospitality, corporate campuses, education facilities, broadcast studios, and commercial AV environments, the card handles the full range of HDMI 2.0 formats including deep color (8/10/12-bit) and wide chroma sampling (RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0). Install multiple output cards across the FLEX-MF8X10, FLEX-MF16X20, FLEX-MF24X36, and FLEX-MF24X60 chassis platforms to scale display capacity as installations grow.

Questions
- How many HDMI outputs does the FLEX-HDMI12OUT provide per card?
- Each FLEX-HDMI12OUT card provides 12 HDMI Type A (19-pin female) output ports, labeled OUT 1 through OUT 12 on the card face.
- What is the maximum bandwidth and resolution supported on each output port?
- Each of the 12 ports supports full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth at 18Gbps, up to 3840x2160 @60Hz 4:4:4 (8-bit), with HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.x content protection.
- How does the chassis assign output numbers when multiple FLEX-HDMI12OUT cards are installed?
- Each card contributes 12 physical output ports. Typical numbering assigns the first card outputs 1-12 and the second card outputs 13-24, but actual numbering depends on installation order and position, and should be confirmed in the chassis control interface (front panel, Web GUI, or API).
- Will the FLEX matrix automatically detect a newly installed FLEX-HDMI12OUT card?
- Yes. Once the chassis is powered on, the matrix automatically detects the card and assigns its 12 output ports to the matrix routing control.
- How is the FLEX-HDMI12OUT card installed into a chassis?
- Power off the chassis, locate an available output card slot on the rear of the chassis, align the card's backplane connector with the slot, and slide it in until it clicks into place. Secure it with the two retaining screws and washers through the card bracket holes, tightening firmly without over-t
- Can the FLEX-HDMI12OUT be hot-swapped?
- Yes, the card is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced without powering off the matrix, though this is not recommended for mission-critical installations. Disconnect the HDMI cables, remove the retaining screws, slide the card out, insert the replacement, and secure it; the matrix re-detects the
- The output card does not appear in the matrix control interface. What should I check?
- Power off the chassis, reseat the card, and power back on. Confirm the card is installed in an output slot and not an input slot, and inspect the backplane connector for dust or debris, cleaning gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if needed.
- There is no video on a connected HDMI display. What are the likely causes?
- Confirm the matrix is actively routing a source to that output port via the control interface, reseat the HDMI cables at both the card and display, try a different cable or display to isolate the fault, and verify the source is providing a valid signal to an input card.
- Why choose the FLEX-HDMI12OUT for a large-scale display rollout?
- At 12 ports per card it offers the highest port density in its class, letting one card do the work that would otherwise take three to six competitor output cards, which reduces the number of slots needed in the chassis for large hospitality, corporate, education, broadcast, security, or retail deplo
- How does the FLEX-HDMI12OUT scale for larger installations?
- Because the card is modular and hot-swappable, integrators can install additional output cards into a compatible chassis to expand display capacity on demand as the installation grows, without taking the system down for the upgrade.
