A scalable HDMI over IP distribution system, with intuitive control and USB extension, ideal for point-to-point or video wall applications. This HDMI over IP Receiver works with the ST12MHDLANU HDMI over IP Extender Kit (sold separately) and lets you extend an HDMI signal, as well as four USB peripheral device connections, 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.

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) over IP, using a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch (with IGMP). For additional scalability, you can combine up to 16 different transmitters and an unlimited number of receivers, depending on available network bandwidth.

With a built-in USB extension hub, you can add up to four remote USB devices at each remote display. This enables you, or your customers, to control a computer at the video source device from the remote location and lets you create interactive digital signage to engage your customers. Or, if you're using the video-over-IP extender as part of your I.T infrastructure, you can use the USB extenders to add a remote KVM console that you can use to control your servers from different remote locations.

The HDMI distribution kit features easy-to-use video control software that helps you manage your IP video distribution. The app is simple to set up, with automatic hardware detection, and it lets you switch video sources for each remote display. You can also create and manage a video wall for an impressive digital signage presentation, to catch the attention of your audience.

The software is available on iOS for your iPhone or iPad, Android for your smartphone or tablet, and Google Chrome browser.

The HDMI over IP extender kit includes optional mounting hardware for a tidy installation. Ideal for high-definition applications, the extender supports 1080p video resolutions and digital stereo audio. Plus, because the extender uses standard non-proprietary Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors, it eliminates both the expense and hassle of running specialized cables. The extender also features an EDID copy function, which ensures native resolution and maximum compatibility with your display or projector, for a convenient plug-and-play installation.

For best performance, a managed network switch with IGMP is recommended if you are using more than one transmitter, or more than four receivers, Non-managed network switches may also limit the performance of other devices connected to the same network.
