INTRODUCTION
About
HPX-TX1 / TX2
The HPX-TX is a high performance H.264 streaming media encoder for high definition signal delivery over
IP networks. The HPX-TX can be used with decoders HPX-RX-VW and HPX-RX-SM to provide complete
end-to-end streaming media system. It features one HDMI input (TX2 has two HDMI input), one HDMI loopthrough, one VGA input, one VGA loop-through (TX2), and one VIDEO (TX2). The HPX-TX adopts standard
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding and outputs two IP streams, a 1080p@60 stream and a 480p@60 stream.
It can outputs resolutions from 480p to 1920x1200 scaled based on the sink EDID. High performance signal
processing scales and optimizes video input signals to obtain the intended viewing effects. Encoding
controls can also adjust bit rate and quality. The HPX-TX1/TX2 expands an AV systems capability by
extending HDMI signals over IP networks for bandwidth optimized applications. To simplify operation,
computer control software and/or the HJ-PXC IP control unit is available for complete management of the
system.
HPX-RX-VW
HPX-RX-VW is a high performance H.264 decoder used with HPX-TX encoder(s) to provide complete endto-end streaming-media transmission system. The HPX-RX-VW supports video wall functionality and can
stream resolutions and refresh rates up to 1080p@60. The output resolutions range from 480p to
1920x1200 scaled based on the sink EDID. To simplify operation, computer control software and/or the HJPXC IP control unit is available for complete management of the system.
HPX-RX-SM
HPX-RX-SM is a high performance H.264 decoder used with HPX-TX encoder(s) to provide complete endto-end streaming-media transmission system. The HPX-RX-SM can decode and display up to 16 IP
streams and display on a single display up to 1080p@60. The output resolutions range from 480p to
1920x1200 scaled based on the sink EDID. To simplify operation, computer control software and/or the HJPXC IP control unit is available for complete management of the system.

1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz Solid UTP cable. The transmission distance is
defined as the distance between the video source and the display.
2. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in UTP cable, you can use shielded STP cables to
improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

APPENDIX 1 Troubleshooting
Why HDMI over IP console cannot find any devices?
1) Check Windows Firewall. Take Windows 7 as an example: Click Start menu, go to Control Panel >
System and Security > Windows Firewall > Allowed Programs, highlight Configuration tool for
HDMI over IP, check Home/Work (Private) and Public.
2) Check the IP address and subnet mask of the PC. The network segment for IP address is 169.254.x.x
and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the PC and Transmitter/Receiver should be in the same network
segment. For details, please refer to PC control tool in chapter Operation.
3) Check the IGMP Snooping status in Switch. This function should be enabled.
Why display shows no picture with RX connected?
Check the following items:
All devices are powered on.
A picture is achieved when connecting the source directly to the TV.
TV has switched to the right signal source input mode using your TV remote, such as switching to HDMI
1 if HDMI 1 interface is connected to the RX via a HDMI cable.
All the cables are qualified.
The Switch supports IGMP snooping and this function is enabled.
