Black Box MCXG2EC01 HDMI Single Encoder
Overview
The Black Box MCXG2EC01 is a single-channel HDMI encoder designed to transmit 4K60 video signals over standard copper cabling. This device is critical for extending high-resolution video feeds from sources like cameras, PCs, or media players to displays or recording systems in environments demanding high-fidelity AV distribution. Its primary function is to convert HDMI video and audio into a format suitable for transmission over IP networks or dedicated AV extension systems, ensuring signal integrity for critical applications.
Compatibility
This encoder is designed to integrate with the Black Box MCX G2 system. It is compatible with HDMI 2.0 sources capable of outputting resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, including standard HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2 protected content. For optimal performance and signal integrity, it should be paired with a compatible MCX G2 receiver unit and appropriate network infrastructure or cabling that supports the required bandwidth for 4K60 video transmission.
Installation Notes
Ensure the connected HDMI source supports HDCP 1.4 or HDCP 2.2, depending on the content being transmitted. The device requires a stable network connection or direct copper link to its paired receiver. Power is supplied via a standard 12V DC adapter (sold separately) or Power over Ethernet (PoE) if the network infrastructure supports it and the receiver unit is PoE-capable. Verify that the transmission medium (copper cable) meets the bandwidth requirements for 4K60 video to avoid signal degradation or dropouts.
