AV Over IP

This unit supports both Unicast and Multicast modes, enabling video wall and USB roaming in Multicast mode. It supports the transmission of Ultra High-Definition signals (up to 4K@60Hz RGB) with audio and USB 2.0 up to 100m on a single cable which allows connection of USB flash drives, keyboard, and mouse. The transmission distance can be further extended (up to 100m per segment) by using gigabit network switches, allowing the user to cascade the system without signal loss or introducing delay. Moreover, it supports IP to IR and IP to RS-232, converting the IP signal into IR and RS-232 commands for device control.

When the extension system’s units are in multicast mode, a single transmitter’s AV signal can be sent to a large number of receivers within the same local network without the additional receivers causing the bandwidth requirements to increase. Additionally, that same multicast signal can be used to create large multi-display video walls with amazing simplicity. When combined with the optional IP Master Controller the functionality of the system expands exponentially. Its centralized web-based interface greatly simplifies control and management of large distributed video matrix or video wall systems adding to their flexibility in large home or commercial installations.

This system also features bi-directional IR and RS-232 pass-through, analog line level in/out, and a microphone input (on the receiver), providing the user with a variety of audio options. The USB functionality allows the system to act like a remote USB hub which, when combined with the HDMI input/output feature, provides a flexible remote KVM platform. Configuration information is provided via On Screen Display (OSD) and control is by WebGUI, IP Master Controller, and Telnet.
