An invitational hand with 4 spades and 5 hearts provides bidding space to show both suits without getting to high. This is because the second suit can be bid at the two level. Responder transfers to the 5-card heart suit and then forces for one round by bidding the 4-card spade suit at the two level. It is still possible to play in 2NT.
Here opener has no support, but with a maximum bids 3NT.
