The XTENDEX® Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender with IR and POE multicasts digital video and audio signals to one or more receivers up to 394 feet away over a 1000 Base-T Gigabit Network connected with CAT6/6a/7 cable.
Each Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender with IR and POE consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CATx or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch.
- Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
- Extend up to 394 feet (120 meters) with CAT6/6a/7 cable.
- Extend up to 328 feet (100 meters) with CAT5e cable.
- Cascade network switches to extend the length long distances.
- Up to three switches can be cascaded.
- The max cable length between the first switch/transmitter and the last switch/receiver is 1,575 feet (480 meters) for CAT6/6a/7 or 1,312 feet (400 meters) for CAT5e cables.
- The max cable lengths between switches is switch dependent, but 394 feet (120 meters) is typical with CAT6/6a/7 cable.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply not required at the local or remote unit.
- Ideal solution for digital signage applications.
- Broadcast real-time HDMI video and audio signals to multiple display locations with a managed or unmanaged (also known as non-managed) network switch.
- Transmits an HDMI signal over one CATx cable.
- Full Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
- Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet. (Network configuration may be required for managed network switch.)
- Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
- Inexpensive CATx cable replaces bulky video cables.
- Supports 1000 Base-T Ethernet connection.
- Built in default EDID table.
- HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant.
- Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch with VLAN support. Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
- The managed switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
- Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
- Each VLAN channel supports one transmitter.
- Number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the switch.
- For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged network switch, hub, or router can be used instead of a managed network switch.
- Up to 253 receivers supported.
- It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause a degradation in performance.
- Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
NOTE: ST-IPHD-POELC-V4 models are NOT compatible with ST-IPHD-POELC(-CLR) models due to different chipsets being used.
