Tripp-Lite B160-201-HSI Data Sheet

HDMI over IP Extender Kit with Built-in 2-Port
Splitter, RS-232 Serial and IR Control, 1080p @
60 Hz, 328 ft. (100 m), TAA

MODEL NUMBER: B160-201-HSI

Converts HDMI audio/video to an IP-based signal that is transmitted point-to-point to a display 328 ft.
away via Cat5e/6 cable or through a dedicated Ethernet network switch.

Description

The B160-201-HSI 2-Port HDMI over IP Transmitter/Receiver/Extender Kit extends and distributes HDMI
audio/video, RS-232 serial and IR (infrared) remote signals from the source to the display located up to
328 feet (100 meters) away, which is more than 200 feet farther than a traditional Cat5e/6 solution. By
adding a chain of low-cost unmanaged network switches, such as Tripp Lite’s NG5, you can continue
extending the distance between source and display up to 328 feet per switch. Two HDMI outputs on the
receiver allow the connection of two displays.

Owner’s manual

Create a multi-in, multi-out installation with up to 64 transmitters and 255 receivers* by including dedicated
managed Ethernet network switches** with Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), such as Tripp
Lite’s NSS-G16D2. With a compatible B160-Series receiver, you can send the HDMI video source to any
analog or digital display, including VGA and DisplayPort™, allowing you to mix and match technologies
and use existing monitors. The IGMP-enabled switch will let you manage all connections for centralized
control over which sources show on which displays.

The B160-201-HSI supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 60 Hz in a point-to-multipoint
switch installation. It extends IR control signals that control a source, such as a Blu-ray™ player, from a
remote display, as well as RS-232 signals at serial baud rates up to 57600 Bps. The transmitter and
receiver units mount to a wall, rack or pole using the including hardware.

*Unmanaged switch installations are limited to two transmitter units. Number of receivers is limited to
number of ports remaining on unmanaged switch.

**B160-Series designed for use with dedicated network switch. Connecting to a switch used with other
networking equipment will result in degraded or non-functional performance.
