INTRODUCTION
About
The JPX Series is a JPEG2000 visually lossless HDMI over IP which allows you to simultaneously
send out an HDMI Signal (1080p video with 2.1 audio, USB & RS-232) to one or more HDMI
video display devices using CAT5e/6/7 Cable over a standard Ethernet infrastructure. The JPX
Series can be used to distribute HD digital content from multiple sources to many destinations on
a LAN. AV signals are transmitted digitally over a CAT5e/6/7 cable with visual lossless quality with
low latency. Internal video compression adapts to available network bandwidth if needed. The
series also has a Videowall mode capabilities making it perfect for low cost digital signage
applications. The RS-232 can be used to remotely control devices from any receiver or transmitter
location. A USB signal can also be passed through with the RS-232 and HDMI signal making the
JPX Series a single cable solution.
Computer software is available for full control and management or the optional HJ-PXC can be
used to interface with control systems or other devices via LAN.
Features
HDMI Encoding and Decoding using JPEG2000
Switching Matrix when multiple units are used
Low Latency
Videowall modes
Extend the transmission distance to at least 100 meters from a source at 1080p
USB signal transmission, Supports USB 2.0

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 HJ Control 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.
If error messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen, here are some solutions:
