Introduction
Emergeâ„¢ MPX1000 HD multipoint transmitters and receivers work in unison to form a managed
audio video extension network able to deliver a synchronized stream of high definition computer
graphics or video and associated audio from one source to as many as eight display devices in a
wired or wireless manner. Display device control data, content protection and interactive device
control signals, including IR and serial are passed from source to sink through the extension
network, providing a fully managed solution.
Modular support is available for HDMI video and audio, DVI-D, and analog signals, including
component video, computer graphics and stereo audio.
Features
The Emerge MPX1000 HD multipoint extender is a modular system. Audio/Video (A/V) data,
whether analog or digital, is converted to a compressed and encrypted digital stream before
transmission. To ensure support for a wide range of current and future video standards, video input
and output connections are provided in the form of field-installable media modules. All media
modules are purchased separately.
Video
The product supports both digital and analog video. Video input/output ports are located on a field-
installable media module. Your media module may support HDMI, VGA or component video.
Audio and video signals received at the input port of the transmitter’s media module are
compressed, encrypted and transmitted over a 10/100 Mb Ethernet link or a wireless link to one or
more receivers. The product does not provide scaling of images nor does it provide interlacing or
deinterlacing. The product does, however, extend both interlaced and progressive video signals.
Audio
The product supports HDMI digital audio and analog audio. Analog audio ports are located on a
field-installable media module. Your media module may support balanced audio, unbalanced audio
