CHAPTER 1: ENCODERS

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This Encoder is designed for high-quality, IP routable, AV extension with virtually zero latency. The unit is capable of transmitting AV and other data for long extension, enhancing the flexibility of any installation. By using a sophisticated ultra-light compression scheme (lossless for most content) it is a great solution for extending 4K audio/video streams (HDMI or DisplayPort) and data. Advanced HDMI content, such as HDR (High Dynamic Range), 10-bit color and multi-channel HD Bitstream audio, can be transmitted in pass-through mode.

For the copper encoder, the use of high-quality, 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and Cat.6A or better cable allows for point-to-point transmission of the video signal up to 100m.

For the fiber encoder, the use of interchangeable, field replaceable, SFP+ modules allows for transmission distances of up to 30km. (Maximum transmission distance depends on the SFP+ modules used.)

Multiple control and data signals may also be transmitted along with the audio and video, including IR, RS-232, and Ethernet.

When combined with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller,or control software, the functionality of the Transceiver expands exponentially. Multiple encoders/decoders may be combined with one or more 10-Gigabit fiber Ethernet switches. The units can be used together to form a distributed video matrix, a multi-viewer system, or a video wall system. This AV network capability provides flexibility in large event installations.

The integrated USB hub of each decoder can be congured to be in USB Host or Device Mode. It can function as a simple point-topoint KVM extension, freely routed between any two endpoints, or it can be congured into a special “Simultaneous” mode, allowing up to 7 Host Mode units to extend their USB ports to a single Device Mode unit. This type of USB KVM routing exibility enables a

wide range of multi-user, control room, or on-demand installation scenarios.

The built-in EDID and HDCP management functionality enables the unit to fit into every video distribution situation. Basic configuration of the unit can be achieved via front panel buttons with an OSD (On-Screen Display). Advanced control requires the optional MCX Gen2 controller, or control software, and a LAN connection.

1.6.6 BASIC AV EXTENSION

1.6.6.1 POINT-TO-POINT (ONE WAY)

The most basic extension conguration available is a point-to-point system with a single transceiver unit acting as an encoder connected directly to a single transceiver unit acting as a decoder. In this conguration the HDMI/DP input on the encoder side is transmitted to the connected decoder side without modication to the audio or video format. The analog stereo audio input on

the encoder transfers audio directly to the analog stereo audio output on the decoder. The LAN, RS-232 and IR ports form direct

connections between the encoder and decoder as well. This conguration is ideal for basic video extension as well as remote KVM

applications.

NOTE: These congurations do not use or require an external control center, such as the MCX Gen2 Controller, to function. No audio insertion/extraction is performed in these congurations.

1.6.6.2 POINT-TO-POINT (BI-DIRECTIONAL)

Another basic extension conguration is a bi-directional point-to-point system with the transceiver units at each end acting as both an encoder and a decoder. In this conguration the HDMI/DP input on each side is transmitted to the opposite end of the connection for output without modication to the audio or video format. The analog audio, LAN, RS-232 and IR ports form direct connections between both ends as well. This conguration is ideal for long distance, secure, xed-point video conferencing applications.

1.6.7.1 MCX GEN2 CONTROLLER

The MCX Gen2 Controller is a hardware solution designed to provide a unied and easy method to access and control all of the

encoders and decoders in a system. It provides a user-friendly, and operating system agnostic, web-based interface allowing easy control over all of the most critical functions within a distribution system.

The MCX Gen2 hardware is an optional component and is not included with individual encoder, decoder, or transceiver units. Please contact your authorized dealer for more information.

When combined with the MCX Gen2 Controller, and a 10 Gigabit ber Ethernet switch, this extension system gains a large number of additional conguration options including: multi-in/multi-out matrix switching with breakaway audio, video wall creation, and a

multiview output mode. Audio extraction and embedding is fully controllable. Additionally, audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 routing can be fully controlled.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This Decoder is designed for high-quality, IP routable, AV extension with virtually zero latency. The unit is capable of receiving AV and

other data for long extension, enhancing the exibility of any installation. By using a sophisticated ultra-light compression scheme

(lossless for most content) it is a great solution for extending 4K audio/video streams (HDMI or DisplayPort) and data. Advanced HDMI content, such as HDR (High Dynamic Range), 10-bit color and multi-channel HD Bitstream audio, can be transmitted in passthrough mode.

For the copper decoder, the use of high-quality 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and Cat.6A or better cable allows for point-to-point transmission of the video signal up to 100m.

For the ber decoder, the use of interchangeable, eld replaceable, SFP+ modules allows for transmission distances of up to 30km.

(Maximum transmission distance depends on the SFP+ modules used.)

Multiple control and data signals may also be transmitted along with the audio and video, including IR, RS-232, and Ethernet.

When combined with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller, or control software, the functionality of the Transceiver expands

exponentially. Multiple encoders/decoders may be combined with one or more 10-Gigabit ber Ethernet switches. The units can be

used together to form a distributed video matrix, a multi-viewer system, or a video wall system. This AV network capability provides

exibility in large event installations.

wide range of multi-user, control room, or on-demand installation scenarios.

The built-in EDID and HDCP management functionality enables the unit to t into every video distribution situation. Basic conguration of the unit can be achieved via front panel buttons with an OSD (On-Screen Display). Advanced control requires the

optional MCX Gen2 controller, or control software, and a LAN connection.
