The HDMI over IP kit lets you extend an HDMI signal over your network. You can use additional receivers (sold separately) to distribute the HDMI signal to multiple locations and combine your remote displays to create a video wall. Versatile configuration options In a point-to-multipoint setup, the HDMI over IP kit can be connected through an unmanaged or managed Gigabit LAN portal. You can connect one or multiple sources (transmitters) to multiple displays (receivers), using a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch (with IGMP). For more scalability, you can combine up to 16 different kits. For smaller-scale applications, the extender kit can be used as a point-to-point video extender. You can connect the transmitter and receiver units directly over Cat5 or Cat6 cabling for one-to-one HDMI extension up to 330 ft. (100 m). Manage video distribution from your mobile device The HDMI distribution kit offers easy-to-use video control software that helps you manage your IP video distribution. The app is easy to set up and lets you switch video sources for each remote display, and create and manage a digital signage video wall to catch the attention of your audience. The software is available on iOS, Android and Google Chrome browser. Professional, cost-effective installation The HDMI over IP extender kit includes mounting hardware for tidy installations. Plus, because the extender uses standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors, it eliminates the hassle of running specialized cables. The extender also features an EDID copy function, which ensures native resolution compatibility with your display for a convenient plug-and-play installation. NOTE: Your router must support IGMP snooping. Please refer to your network switch or router documentation to ensure IGMP snooping is supported and enabled.
