NTI XTENDEX Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender with IR and POE
1
INTRODUCTION
The XTENDEX
®
Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender with IR and POE multicasts digital video and audio signals to one or
more receivers up to 394 feet away over a 1000 Base-T Gigabit Network connected with CAT6/6a/7 cable.
Each Low-Cost HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender with IR and POE consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source, and a
remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point
connection via CATx or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed
network switch.
Features
Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
o
Extend up to 394 feet (120 meters) with CAT6/6a/7 cable.
o
Extend up to 328 feet (100 meters) with CAT5e cable.
Cascade network switches to extend the length long distances.
o
Up to three switches can be cascaded.
o
The max cable length between the first switch/transmitter and the last switch/receiver is 1,575 feet (480 meters)
for CAT6/6a/7 or 1,312 feet (400 meters) for CAT5e cables.
o
The max cable lengths between switches is switch dependent, but 394 feet (120 meters) is typical with
CAT6/6a/7 cable.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
–
power supply not required at the local or remote unit.
Ideal solution for digital signage applications.
Broadcast real-time HDMI video and audio signals to multiple display locations with a managed or unmanaged (also
known as non-managed) network switch.
Transmits an HDMI signal over one CATx cable.
Full Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet. (Network
configuration may be required for managed network switch.)
Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
Inexpensive CATx cable replaces bulky video cables.
Supports 1000 Base-T Ethernet connection.
Built in default EDID table.
HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant.
Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch with VLAN support. Standard LAN switches can
only support one transmitter.
o
The managed switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
o
Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
Each VLAN channel supports one transmitter.
o
Number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the switch.
For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged network switch, hub, or router can be used
instead of a managed network switch.
o
Up to 253 receivers supported.
o
It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause a
degradation in performance.
Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
NOTE:
ST-IPHD-POELC-V4 models are NOT compatible with ST-IPHD-POELC(-CLR) models due to different chipsets
being used.
