HDMI HD video to 4K UHD video over IP
The MediaCento™ IPX IP-based audio/video distribution solution uses existing standards-based Ethernet technology and TCP/IP protocols to unicast HDMI HD / 4K UHD video signals on your Gigabit Ethernet network. In a multicast configuration, one transmitter can drive multiple receivers with no extra network load.
Easy integration
Transmitters and receivers install directly into your existing LAN infrastructure. There's no need to configure any IP settings or run expensive dedicated links from a back room. Better yet, being PoE-powered eliminates the need for external power supplies.
Plug-and-play setup
Use rotary switches to set the transmitter and receivers to the same multicast or unicast channel and all IP multicasting settings are automatically configured. Just connect your source, your display(s), and a network switch. It's ready to go!
Signals that go for kilometres
The units support IGMP and packetise signals so all your HD/UHD source content can be delivered anywhere you want over Ethernet wiring. The extender transmits video up to 100 m per link, but goes even longer when additional network switches are added to the mix. Use fibre with media converters to go several kilometres, if needed.
Optimal PC-to-screen performance
MediaCento™ IPX HD/4K features extended display identification data (EDID) copy function, which ensures the proper video settings are maintained, and is HDCP 2.2 compliant supporting also protected contents from Blu-rays.
Secure connectors
All MediaCento™ IPX products come with locking HDMI and power connectors.
Flexible matrix switching and video wall control
With the MediaCento™ IPX Controller added to the system, you can:
- Create video walls up to 8 x 8 (64 screens).
- Control and switch from any source to any display remotely using the intuitive Web interface. The controller automatically detects any MediaCento IPX units in the network and pulls them into the Web interface for easy setup and control.
- Control from a secondary network using the controller's two Ethernet ports.
- Remotely control the units from a mobile interface such as a laptop, cell phone, or tablet.
H.264 Encoder/Decoder
Transmit high-quality HDMI video over a standard IP network for display of HD content on one screen—or multicast signals to multiple displays—with the Black Box H.264 Encoder. Because the Encoder uses H.264 compression and requires very low bandwidth, it's extremely efficient when encoding full HD video and analog audio for transmission.
The Black Box H.264 Encoder integrates with any equipment using standard H.264 encoding. The video stream can be received by any H.264 Decoder, software or sent over the internet. It also integrates well with a number of Black Box products, such as:
