Transmitter Unit - HDMI Extender over LAN / IP Network Switches

HDMI over LAN / IP Network switches can use your existing network infrastructure in a building whether it is wired networking or wireless. > 100Mb/s networks is needed and for wireless 300N networks is recommended depending on resolution of content to be distributed from one network point via switches or wireless access points to HDMI receivers. You only need one transmitter per source / player and can connect an unlimited amount of receivers to your network switches and the transmitter will broadcast signal to all connected receivers. If the switches are managed it is recommended to setup different VLAN's to separate HDMI over IP traffic from other IP traffic on the network.

The transmission distances via network switches is theoretically unlimited since each network switch or access point / router will reroute traffic to the next switch and signal will not be affected on longer distances or more network hops.

The Transmitter and Receiver HDMI over Network / IP unit can be directly connected to each other via a single CAT6e Cable without switches or networking equipment to send a signal up to 100m between source / player and display. Tested 100% with all common HDMI sources such as HDPVR, Apple TV Player, Mvix (HDMI Version), Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, DVD players and Blu-ray Players on the SA market.



When connecting the transmitter and receiver use the CAT5e Shielded Twisted Pair Cables at CAT5e Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) 350Mhz ISA/IEC 11801 Cable or CAT6 STP Cables at CAT6e STP Full Copper Solid Core Ethernet Cable. CAT5e FTP / STP depending on quality of cable (Full Copper cables) can be installed for resolutions up to 1080p depending on color depth, refresh rates & equipment signal quality, but only recommended up to 720p/1080i. For 1080p transmissions full copper CAT6e FTP / STP or CAT7 SSTP are required when connecting the transmitter and receiver directly to each other without networking switches.

Please ensure cables are terminated according to 568A or 568B standard as in diagram below depending on CAT5e / CAT6 STP cable type and properly grounded via the ripcord wire inside STP cables. Grounding the cable will also ensure better protection against voltage spikes. STP cables shields better against nearby EMI.
