StarTech HDMI Over IP Distribution Kit

StarTech HDMI Over IP Distribution Kit

The StarTech HDMI over IP kit lets you extend an HDMI signal over the network. Additional receivers (sold separately) can be used to distribute the HDMI signal to multiple locations and combine the remote displays to create a video wall.

Versatile Configuration

In a point-to-multipoint setup, the HDMI over IP kit can be connected through an unmanaged or managed Gigabit LAN portal. You can connect one or multiple sources (transmitters) to multiple displays (receivers) over IP, using a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch (with IGMP). For additional scalability, 16 different kits can be combined. For smaller-scale applications, the extender kit can be used as a point-to-point video extender. You can connect the transmitter and receiver units directly over Cat5 or Cat6 cabling for a small-scale, one-to-one HDMI extension up to 330-feet.

Video Distribution

The HDMI distribution kit features easy-to-use video control software that helps to manage IP video distribution. The app is simple to set up with automatic hardware detection and lets you switch video sources for each remote display. One can also intuitively create and manage a video wall for an impressive digital signage presentation to catch the attention of your audience. The software is available on iOS for iPhone or iPad, Android for smartphone or tablet, and Google Chrome browser. 

Cost-Effective Installation

The HDMI over IP extender kit includes optional mounting hardware for a tidy installation. Ideal for high-definition applications, the extender supports 1080p video resolutions and digital stereo audio. Plus, because the extender uses standard non-proprietary Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors, it eliminates both the expense and hassle of running specialized cables. The extender also features an EDID copy function, which ensures native resolution and maximum compatibility with a display or projector for a convenient plug-and-play installation.
