Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The VSPX-HDMI1X4-TX transmitter works with the VSPX-HDMI-RX or VSPX- HDMI-CSRX receiver to extend high-definition video and high-quality audio to different locations over a long distance. The transmitters are cascadable, enabling you to increase the number of total displays. The input HDMI source can be duplicated and distributed to up to four HDMI enabled displays linked by CAT5/5e/6 cables with HDMI over CAT5 receivers (VSPX-HDMI). If you only need a single port transmitter, buy the compatible 3D HDMI extender kit (VX-HDMI-TP-3D40M).

The VSPX-HDMI1X4-TX also has a local HDMI output for monitoring. With built-in equalization, the input HDMI cable can be extended up to 66 feet

(20 meters) using Full HD, making the overall transmission distance better when compared to generic HDMI splitters.

The VSPX-HDMI-CSRX receiver works with the VSPX-HDMI1X4 transmitter, VSPX-HDMI-RX receiver, or VX-HDMI-TP-3D40M extender kit to distribute HDMI/DVI video sources to up to ten displays in a daisychained connection via CAT5/5e. By using the VSPX-HDMI1X4-TX transmitter and making four separate chains, the number of displays can be increased to a total of 40. The cascade ability allows pure digital video and audio broadcast station by station and extends HDMI compliant video and audio anywhere.

The VSPX-HDMI-RX receiver works with the transmitter or VSPX-HDMI-CSRX cascadable receiver to extend high-definition video and high-quality audio over a distance via CAT5/5e/6 cable. The receiver works with an HDMI transmitter or splitter over single CAT5 and enables you to extend HDMI compliant displays almost anywhere.
