Description
HDMI over IP Extender is based on an AV over IP solution for distribution of one HD content to one or multiple HD display devices over a standard 1G network switch, extending distance up to 150m/492ft between encoder and decoder via a CAT6 cable. It offers configurable high quality, low-bandwidth EZCast compression video. Video resolution is up to 1920×1200@60Hz. It also supports HDMI loop output on the encoder.
The product includes two units: Encoder (obtains and encodes HDMI signals, transmits via CAT6, supports HDMI loop output) and Decoder (decodes signal and outputs HDMI to HD displays). Supports one-way IR control signal transmission for the most convenient HDMI extension solution.

Application Examples
Figure 1: Point-to-Point (Encoder → Decoder directly, up to 150m)
Connect your source device (DVD/set-top box) to the Encoder's HDMI IN. The Encoder transmits the signal over a single CAT6 cable (up to 150m) to the Decoder, which outputs HDMI to the remote TV. The Encoder also provides a HDMI Loop Out for a local TV at the source location. A one-way IR control path lets you operate the source device using the remote at the display end.
Figure 2: One-to-Many via L2 Switch (1 Encoder → Multiple Decoders)
Connect the Encoder to a 1G L2 network switch via CAT6. Connect each Decoder to the same switch via individual CAT6 cables. The switch distributes the video signal to all Decoders simultaneously — each driving its own display. Ideal for digital signage, multi-room video, classrooms, and boardrooms. Each Decoder can be up to 150m from the switch.
