NTI HDMI OVER IP EXTENDER
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX® Low-Cost HDMI Over IP Extender multicasts digital video and audio signals to one or more receivers up to 330
feet away using CAT5e/6 (CATx)cable.
Each Low-Cost HDMI Over IP Extender consists of a local unit (transmitter) that connects to an HDMI source, and a remote unit
(receiver) that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point or Point –
to-Many connection through a network switch. Support for multiple local units requires a managed network switch.
• Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p and computer resolutions to 1920x1200.
• Ideal solution for digital signage applications.
• Broadcast real-time HDMI video/audio to multiple display locations.
• Transmits an HDMI signal over one CAT5e/6 cable.
• Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet. (Network
configuration may be required for managed network switch.)
• Web interface for changing IP addresses, firmware updates and resetting units to factory default settings.
• Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
• Inexpensive CAT5e/6 cable replaces bulky video cables.
• Supports 10/100 Ethernet connection.
• Built in default EDID table.
• HDCP compliant.
• Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch with VLAN/IGMP support. Standard LAN switches
can only support one transmitter.
o The managed switch must support port based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, IGMP, and permit duplicate IP addresses
across the VLAN domains.
o Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
o Number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the switch.
o Cascade managed switches up to 3 levels, allowing the farthest display to be located up to 1,000 feet away
from the source device. Each receiver can be located up to 330 feet away.
• Uses M-JPEG technology to process image compression on a fixed bandwidth.
o Note: at high resolutions, characters on PCs get noticeably fuzzy due to image compression and
decompression process.
