Hybrid is the combination of a standard HDMI Matrix Switcher with a MuPoE module in a small form 
factor package - creating a SMART HDTV signal distribution system that gives users the ability maximize all 
their home entertainment technology such as subscription TV and Blu-Ray™ to its fullest potential. Users can 
watch, control and enjoy all their devices in stunning HD video and audio, plus a fast Internet connection at two 
TV locations instead of one. 
 
The system comprises of a central hub and a TV-mountable PoE receiver module - meaning that a separate 
power supply is not required. The receiver module simply connects back to the hub via single network cable 
(Cat5e/6) up to 100m long. 
 
Users have the ability to select and control source functions such as pause, play and rewind, thanks to IR 
(infrared) remote control pass back to the hub. You can pause in one room and resume in another,  
 
When a broadband router is connected to the MuPoE Hybrid central hub, fast Internet is also piped to 
each TV location. This means that users can maximise the full feature-set of the latest SMART TVs as a robust 
Internet connection is essential for buffer-free viewing of on-line streaming services such as Netflix, Love Film 
and BBC iPlayer. 
 
HDBaseT technology allows uncompressed HDMI, Fast Ethernet, PoE signals to be transmitted up to 100m 
over a single Cat5e/6 cable to the TV locations.
