CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The MediaCento IPX 4K extends HDMI, USB, Audio, RS-232, and IR over IP via CATx or single-mode fiberoptic cable. The extender
consists of two units: one transmitter and one receiver.
NOTE:
You can link the transmitter and receiver together via one CATx cable or one single-mode fiberoptic cable, but not both types of cable
at the same time.
Multicasting supports multiple transmitters (TX) and receivers (RX) that can be arranged in a crosspoint matrix architecture.
The extender supports 7.1 CH audio, 3D video, and USB 2.0/1.1.
You can use the built-in web user interface (UI) for configuration and operation.
2.2 FEATURES
2.2.1 BASIC FEATURES
Uses one UTP/STP CATx cable OR one single-mode fiberoptic cable between each transmitter/receiver link
Supports a visually lossless compression algorithm
Extends HDMI Digital Audio/Video up to 330 feet (100 meters) between Transmitter and Receiver (point-to-point) using CATx cable
or up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) between Transmitter and Receiver over single-mode fiberoptic cable using a standard SFP (Small
Form-factor Pluggable) module.
Compatible SFPs include Black Box part numbers LFP411, LFP412, LFP413, LFP414, and LFP418. Also should support most gigabit
fiber SFP modules

Provides repeating/distributing/matrix extension through a Gigabit Ethernet Switch with a transceiver installed that is compatible
with both Transmitter and Receiver units and video wall
Compatible with USB 2.0 devices at data rates up to 480 Mbps and backward with USB 1.1. The transmitter uses one USB Type B
host interface and the receiver uses four USB Type A device interfaces.
Can map different transmitter sources or create a grouping loop for each receiver that corresponds to a video channel
Wall-mount housing design with rack mountable bracket enables easy and robust installation
Audio supports 7.1CH LPCM, DTS, Dolby, analog LINE-IN/LINE-OUT
Supports Interlaced and Progressive Display Modes
Provides DDC/DDC2B, Hot-Plug Detection (HPD) and complies with HDCP standards
Supports Default EDID and EDID copy function for optimal PC-to-Screen performance

Transmitter has a 4K HDMI local loopback output
Uses a 7-segment LED display for video channel indication
Includes IR remote control for video channel setting
Operates as a PoE powered device (PD) using IEEE 802.3at PoE+
