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 an HDMI output card with 12 outputs on one card, so fewer slots carry more displays. 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 color depth and chroma sampling does the FLEX-HDMI12OUT support?
- It supports 8, 10, and 12 bits per color channel, with RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 chroma sampling, plus HDR pass-through.
- 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).
- Which input card pairs with the FLEX-HDMI12OUT for a complete HDMI matrix?
- The FLEX-HDMI8IN 8-port HDMI 2.0 input card is the companion card for building an HDMI-to-HDMI matrix in the same chassis.
- Can the FLEX-HDMI12OUT be hot-swapped?
- Power the chassis down before fitting or removing the card: disconnect the HDMI cables, remove the retaining screws, slide the card out, insert the replacement and secure it, then power on.
- Does the FLEX-HDMI12OUT need its own power supply?
- No. The card is powered entirely by the FLEX chassis it is installed in and requires no external power connection.
- Protected 4K content is not displaying on an output. What is the fix?
- Verify every cable and connector in the chain from source to input card and output card to display supports HDCP 2.2, confirm the display itself supports HDCP 2.2 (older displays may only support HDCP 1.x), and power-cycle the source, input card, and display in sequence to reset HDCP negotiation.
- 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.
- How does the FLEX-HDMI12OUT scale for larger installations?
- Because the card is modular, integrators can add output cards up to the chassis's slot count (1 output slot on the 8x10, 2 on the 16x20, 3 on the 24x36 and 5 on the 24x60) as the installation grows.
- How does the hot-swap design reduce maintenance downtime?
- The card is not hot-swappable, but it is modular: a failed card is replaced on its own, without replacing the chassis or the other cards. Power the chassis down, swap the card and power it on.
