AVerMedia CL511HN PCIe HDMI 2.0 Frame Grabber with 4K60 Input and Pass-Through

The CL511HN is AVerMedia's single-channel 4K60 HDR frame grabber on a low-profile PCIe Gen2 x4 card, capturing HDMI 2.0 at 4096 x 2160 and 60 fps in 8-bit or 10-bit, with an HDMI pass-through output that keeps working with the host powered off. It suits medical imaging and inspection systems where a local monitor stays on the feed.

  • 4K60 HDR over HDMI 2.0: Input and capture of 4096 x 2160 at 60 fps with HDR, in 8-bit or 10-bit formats including P010.
  • Power-Off Pass-Through: An HDMI-OUT port passes the input to a local monitor, and AVerMedia states pass-through continues with the host powered off.
  • Low-Profile PCIe Gen2 x4: A low-profile card with an onboard fan, plus multi-card support when a system needs more than one 4K60 channel.
  • Signal and Temperature LEDs: A signal-lock LED on the bracket and an RGB temperature LED help confirm the input and card state during commissioning.
  • Eight-Channel LPCM Audio: HDMI embedded audio up to eight-channel LPCM at 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz, captured alongside the video stream.

CL511HN Overview

When a single high-resolution source has to be recorded and still shown on a local display, a grabber with a pass-through output saves a splitter in the signal chain. The AVerMedia CL511HN does that with one HDMI 2.0 input and an HDMI-OUT port on a low-profile PCIe card, and AVerMedia states the pass-through continues with the host powered off. For more sources at lower frame rates, the CL314H1 takes four HDMI inputs, and the CL311-M2 handles HDMI plus analog video.

Input and capture run at up to 4096 x 2160 and 60 fps with HDR, in 8-bit or 10-bit. The CL511HN outputs YUV 4:4:4 (IYU2, AYUV, V410, Y410), YUV 4:2:2 (YUY2, YUYV, UYVY, V210, Y210), YUV 4:2:0 (I420, NV12, YV12, P010) and RGB565, RGB555, RGB24, RGB32 and ARGB, so 10-bit HDR material can stay 10-bit into the application. Audio is HDMI embedded, up to eight-channel LPCM at 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz.

The card uses a PCIe Gen2 x4 interface in a low-profile form factor, with an onboard fan under a shroud to cool the capture electronics. A signal-lock LED on the bracket and an RGB temperature LED make it easier to confirm a live input during commissioning, and multi-card operation is supported. AVerMedia provides Windows drivers and Linux V4L2 support on x64 hosts, which needs a specific FPGA firmware version on the card.

The CL511HN is rated from 0 °C to 55 °C at 5% to 95% RH and carries FCC and CE marks. We supply the CL511HN fitted and tested in the host computer it will run in, with drivers and the required FPGA firmware installed and the pass-through checked before it ships.
