The internal temperature increaseswhen 4K signals are transmitted.・ Do not block vent holes.・ To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the HDC (1.2 in. (30 mm) ormore).・ Consider installing the HDC in an environment compatible with the maximum temperature indicatedin the specification sheet 32°F to 104°F (0°C to +40°C).Tip:For installing the HDC in an EIA rack, we offer optional rack mounting hardware.
