Black Box VX-HDMI-HDIP-TX HDMI-over-IP HD Extender Transmitter
Overview
The Black Box VX-HDMI-HDIP-TX is an HDMI-over-IP extender transmitter designed to distribute high-definition video signals across standard network infrastructure. This device is crucial for extending HDMI content from a source, such as a media player or PC, to a display or receiver unit located up to 100 meters away using a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable. It's engineered for commercial AV deployments, digital signage, and video wall installations where reliable, long-distance signal transmission is paramount. The VX-HDMI-HDIP-TX ensures that your video feed remains clear and consistent, eliminating the need for costly, bulky, or short-range HDMI cabling.
Compatibility
This transmitter is designed to work with the corresponding Black Box MediaCento IPX HDMI-over-IP HD Extender Receiver (sold separately). It is compatible with standard IP networks and can be used in point-to-point configurations or scaled to multi-display systems using managed network switches. Ensure your network switch supports IGMP snooping for optimal multicast performance in larger deployments. It supports standard HDMI resolutions up to 1080p.
Installation Notes
For optimal performance, use Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling. Ensure the cable run does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) between the transmitter and receiver. The device requires a power supply (sold separately or via PoE if supported by the receiver unit and network infrastructure) and a direct HDMI connection to the source device. Proper network configuration, including IP addressing and potentially VLAN setup, is necessary for multi-display or complex network installations.
