Introduction

The ST12MHDLAN HDMI® Over IP Extender kit lets you extend an HDMI® audio and video signal over a Gigabit LAN network. The kit includes both the extender and receiver for a complete all-in-one solution, and offers a highly scalable installation when used with additional ST12MHDLANRX receiver units (sold separately). The ST12MHDLANRX receivers can be connected to the same network to output the HDMI® signal to over 100 additional displays.

This flexible HDMI® extender can be connected through a Gigabit LAN portal and span the entire distance of your network, or connected point-to-point with no network hub for a small scale one-to-one extension of up to 330 feet (100 meters). Plus, because the HDMI® signal is extended over standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors, proprietary cables aren’t necessary, eliminating both the expense and hassle of running specialized cables. For added versatility, up to 16 different ST12MHDLAN Transmitter units can be added to a single network (IGMP Network support required).

The HDMI® over IP Extender kit includes optional mounting hardware for a professional and tidy installation.

Ideal for High-Definition applications, the extender supports 1080p video resolutions, digital stereo audio, and features built-in EDID monitor emulation, which ensures native resolution and maximum compatibility with your display or projector, for a convenient plug-and-play installation.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
