Full HD HDMI Extender over IP with PoE/RS-232 & IR - Decoder (RX)

Elevate your entertainment or presentation setup with a robust, reliable Full HD HDMI Extender over IP that delivers crystal-clear video, precise audio, and seamless control over long distances. The Decoder (RX) unit is designed to receive HDMI signals from a remote source over standard UTP CAT5e/6 cabling up to 100 meters, powered via PoE on compatible Gigabit switches. This solution simplifies matrix distribution, digital signage, conference rooms, and home theaters, letting you place displays far from the source without compromising picture quality or control features.

• Extends HDMI with stereo audio over IP to a remote display up to 100 meters on CAT5e/6 cabling, ideal for large rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums.
• PoE-powered operation on the RX (decoder) side through compatible Gigabit switches, reducing wiring clutter and simplifying installation.
• Includes both RS-232 and IR passthrough support, enabling wired control and remote operation from a comfortable location.
• Designed for Full HD delivery, ensuring sharp 1080p video and high-quality stereo audio for presentations, media playback, and digital signage.
• Plug-and-play compatibility with standard HDMI sources while offering reliable, low-latency transmission suitable for real-time applications.

how to install Full HD HDMI Extender over IP with PoE/RS-232 & IR - Decoder (RX)

• Place the RX decoder near the display and connect the HDMI output from the RX to the display’s HDMI input.
• Run a Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable from the IP-based transmitter (TX) location to the RX location, up to 100 meters depending on cable quality and network equipment.
• Ensure both TX and RX units are connected to a PoE-enabled Gigabit switch or a PoE injector system to power the devices without extra power cables.
• Connect RS-232 control cables if you plan to control the source device from the RX location, and connect IR emitters/receivers for remote control if required.
• Power on the network, configure any necessary network switches for PoE to ensure power delivery, and verify video and audio are routed correctly from the remote source to the display.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What resolution does the RX decoder support? A: It supports Full HD video, including up to 1080p resolution with stereo audio.
• Q: How far can I extend the signal? A: Up to 100 meters over CAT5e/6 cabling when used with PoE-capable switches in a typical home or commercial environment.
• Q: Do I need PoE for operation? A: PoE power is recommended for the simplest installation on both TX and RX sides, but always verify compatibility with your network hardware.
• Q: Can I control source devices remotely? A: Yes, through RS-232 passthrough and optional IR passthrough, enabling convenient control from the display location or a centralized control room.
• Q: Is there any lip of latency or delay? A: The design focuses on low-latency transmission suitable for real-time video playback and presentations, though some minimal latency may occur due to network routing and processing.
