2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The HDMI over LAN Extender is a perfect solution for audio and video signal extension via an existing Local Area Network (LAN) system. With multicast technology, one local unit can drive multiple remote units with no extra network load. There are 16 selectable channels that can be used to transmit to multiple receivers. In a network that supports IGMP (Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches), each channel can connect to 64 displays in video wall applications and unlimited displays in a multicast application using a standard IT Ethernet structure on a LAN system.

The HDMI over LAN Extender supports Full HD 1080p, is HDCP compliant, and is Blu-ray ready. It can handle applications that require greater distance, high speed transmission, real-time high video resolution, security, and noise immunity. It is ideal for situations that need live presentation, such as public broadcasting, education centers, boardrooms, etc.
