1.2 Product Description

Product Function
PLANET delivers a great HD video distribution solution, IHD-200 series HDMI / Video Wall over IP for efficient and effective advertisement deployment. The IHD­200 series is the combination of the transmitter, IHD-200T, and the receiver, IHD­200R. They allow you to simultaneously send out a HDMI signal to one or more HDMI displays over a single cat5/5e or above cable Ethernet infrastructure.
High-Speed Ethernet Connection via Gigabit Ethernet
The IHD-200 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.

IHD-200 Series
Exclusive Video Transmission by IGMP Multicast Technology
One IHD-200T in local site can drive multiple IHD-200R 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 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.
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) Support
The IHD-200 series adopts EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) COPY function to make smooth video distribution over different types of display unit. EDID is greatly important as it contains information about resources’ manufacturer name, serial number, product type, maximum image size, color characteristics, factory pre­set 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 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

Easy Video Channel Matching through Network Configuration
The IHD-200 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 each IHD-200T and IHD-200R. The video distribution is easily deployed through Plug n Play.

High Quality Output and Performance
The IHD-200 series supports Full HD 1080P, HDCP and Blu-ray read, which have been common used in applications that require real-time high video resolution and transmission in long distance. It also contains security, noise immunity as well as HDMI with 2ch. audio (dts.) functions to bring the superior video distribution.

Video Extender
The IHD-200T and IHD-200R enables the same display to multi-monitors in different locations at the same time. It helps to fast extend the image and commercial to the public efficiently in expo, food court, boardrooms, and any public areas.
Video wall
To bring the image and picture in larger size over video wall, the IHD-200T and IHD­200R is the ideal solution to split one specified image, picture, or video over multiple screens which are usually applied in sports games, department stores, movie theaters, etc.
