Extend hdmi over ip up to 330 feet - on a tight budget!

At last, an inexpensive way to extend your HDMI! The XTENDEX® HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender multicasts digital video and audio signals up to 330 feet away over a 1000Base-T Gigabit Network connected with CAT5e/6 cable.

Each Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender 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.

Matt Langdon from ACF Technologies, Asheville, North Carolina, purchased the extenders. "We use the ST-IPHD-LC extenders for digital signage. We set up our PC running the information being broadcasted in a server closet and broadcast to multiple TVs within our customer's facilities. The extenders work very well."
