Get to know them!

Decoding up to 4K/60Hz video via Ethernet, the Turtle AV Darwin 4K RX uses H.265 hardware acceleration to ensure uncompromised image quality without consuming all your bandwidth. It supports one-to-one and one-to-many unicast or multicast configurations, so you can scale as needed — perfect for any environment where you need to display content on multiple screens at once. Sweetwater’s A/V pros say Darwin 4K’s EDID management and HDCP 2.2 compliance facilitate integration with existing systems for worry-free scaling. Additionally, these compact Turtles include Phoenix analog audio breakout, support video walls up to 9 x 9, and can be powered by DC or PoE (power over Ethernet). Build out your next 4K A/V environment with Turtle AV’s Darwin 4K TX/RX system.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
