1.2 Product Description
Product Function
PLANET IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE deliver a
great HD video distribution solution such as bringing an efficient and effective
advertising deployment. The IHD-200 PoE series is the combination of the
transmitter, IHD-200PT, and the receiver, IHD-200PR. They allow you to
simultaneously send out a HDMI signal to one or more HDMI displays over a single
cat. 5/5e cable (or above) Ethernet infrastructure.
Besides, by supporting PoE function, meaning there is no additional power supply
needed, the IHD-200 PoE series thus reduces the complexity of cable installation.
The IHD-200 PoE series can distribute HD digital content from multiple sources to
practically any number of remote displays on a LAN and deliver ultra high quality
1080P HDMI video broadcast over IP network. It not only offers smooth vivid 1080P
full motion video with audio quality as CD, but also ensures the sharp images and
text give the viewers the maximum visual effect and ease of reading.
By cascading multiple Ethernet switches as the backbone of the IHD-200 PoE series,
it allows displays to be distributed far away from the source devices while sustaining
consistent 1080P video and audio quality. The video sources can be rack centralized
or decentralized, or even have a mixture of both. It thus increases the flexibility,
scope and scalability of audio and video distribution via the Ethernet networks.

IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR
High-Speed Ethernet Connection via Gigabit Ethernet
The IHD-200 PoE series is a perfect solution for audio and video signal extension via
the existing LAN. Designed with Gigabit LAN interface, it supports super high speed
transmission, which makes it ideal for live presentations, public broadcasting,
education training, boardrooms, etc.
Exclusive Video Transmission by IGMP Multicast Technology
One IHD-200PT in local site can drive multiple IHD-200PR in remote sites without
consuming extra network loading. Integrating with Gigabit switch built-in with IGMP
multicast functions, there are 16 channels selectable via the IHD-200 PoE series and
up to 4 channels can be transmitted simultaneously. IGMP is an integral part of IP
multicast and a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP
networks to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP can be used for one-tomany networking applications such as online streaming video and gaming, and
allows exclusive transmission and more efficient use of resources.
HDMI / Video Wall over IP with PoE
IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) Support
The IHD-200 PoE series adopts EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) COPY
function to make smooth video distribution over different types of display units. EDID
is greatly important as it contains information about resources’ manufacturer names,
serial numbers, product types, maximum image sizes, color characteristics, factory
pre-set timings, frequency range limits, etc. In some cases, display problems may
occur due to incorrect EDID communication between the display monitor and the
transmitting unit or inappropriate EDID data programmed by display manufactures.
Therefore, with EDID COPY function, the IHD-200 PoE series allows the system to
copy EDID information from EDID compliant displays and assures accurate display
performance.
However, owing to a variety of monitor model types, EDID data may not be usable to
all. For example, if you use an HDMI-to-DVI converter to a REAL DVI monitor, the
copied EDID (DVI) data may NOT be applicable to HDMI monitors. On the other
hand, if using an HDMI-to-DVI converter to a DVI monitor (but in fact it’s an HDMI
monitor with DVI connector), the copied EDID (HDMI) data may be applicable to
HDMI monitors

IHD-200PT / IHD-200PR
Easy Video Channel Matching through Network Configuration
The IHD-200 PoE series network can be configured by a central computer over the
same LAN within a certain distance. Fully leveraging the mature Gigabit Ethernet
with 802.1Q VLAN function, multi-casting can be performed to allow more video
source/senders in the network and be remotely managed. Just adjust and match
video channel setting by the simple DIP switch in both the IHD-200PT and IHD200PR. The video distribution is easily deployed through Plug and Play.
High Quality Output and Performance
The IHD-200 PoE series supports Full HD 1080P, HDCP and Blu-ray quality, which
have been commonly used for applications that require real-time high video
resolution and transmission in long distance. It also contains security and noise
immunity as well as HDMI with 2ch. audio (dts.) functions to offer the superior video
distribution.

1.6 Device Connection Topology
Video Extender
The IHD-200PT and IHD-200PR are able to send the same video signal to multimonitors in different locations at the same time. It helps to quickly extend the image
and commercial to the public efficiently in such places as expos, food courts,
boardrooms, and any public areas.
Video wall
To bring the image and picture in larger size over video wall, the IHD-200PT and
IHD-200PR are the ideal solution to distributing one specified image, picture, or
video to multiple screens which are usually applicable for sports, department stores,
movie theaters, etc.

Efficient Control via 16 Channels Selectable DIP Switch
Where there is more than one transmitter in the video wall system, the rotary DIP
switch in the IHD-200PT and IHD-200PR facilitates distinguishing the pair of the
transmitter and receiver units in the same channel. It further enables the
broadcasting system to perform multi functions including Video Extender and Video
Wall simultaneously through matching of the IHD-200PT and IHD-200PR.

2.1 Installation Instructions
System Requirements
1. HDCP compliant monitors with HDMI interface for the HDCP video source
2. CAT5 / 5e / 6 UTP cable (EIA / TIA 568B industry standard compliant)
3. PoE Switch (see Recommended PoE Switch)
Application Recommended Ethernet Switch
Video Wall Application Gigabit PoE Switch, IGMP & Snooping function
Multiple Video Wall Application
Operation:
The LED on the Extender Units shows the real-time status indicating the linking and
communication between the Transmitter/Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit. Users
can identify the current status through the LED indicators on the unit.
The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon the quality of video source,
cable and display device used. Low quality cables degrade output signal causing
elevated noise levels. Please use the proper cable and make sure the display device
is capable of handling the resolution and refresh rate selected.
Step 1
Connect the video source to the Transmitter / Sender Unit.
Step 2
Connect the monitor to the Receiver Unit.
Step 3
Use CAT5 cables (EIA / TIA 568B industry standard compliant) for connection
between TX / RX and Gigabit PoE Switch.
Step 4
Set an identical ID number on Rotary DIP Switch for all Units of the same group.
Step 5
User still could apply the proper power to all connecting devices if without PoE
switch.
