Description

Black Box VX-HDMI-4KIP-TX HDMI over IP Transmitter

Overview

The Black Box VX-HDMI-4KIP-TX is an IP video transmitter designed to extend an HDMI source signal over a standard IP network. This device is crucial for scenarios where you need to distribute high-resolution HDMI content (up to 4K) to multiple displays or recording devices located remotely from the source. It leverages existing network infrastructure, simplifying installation and reducing the need for dedicated video cabling. The VX-HDMI-4KIP-TX is ideal for digital signage, command centers, or any application requiring centralized control and distribution of HDMI video feeds. This unit functions as the transmitter (TX) in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint IP video distribution system.

Compatibility

This transmitter is designed to work with compatible Black Box VX-HDMI-4KIP-RX receivers to form a complete HDMI over IP distribution system. It is compatible with standard IP networks (10/100/1000 Mbps) and can be integrated into existing network infrastructure. For optimal 4K performance, a Gigabit Ethernet network is required. Ensure your network switch supports IGMP snooping for efficient multicast traffic management if deploying multiple transmitters and receivers.

Installation Notes

Requires a standard HDMI cable to connect to the source device and an Ethernet cable (Cat5e or Cat6 recommended) to connect to the IP network. Power is supplied via a 5VDC external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the network port on the transmitter is connected to a Gigabit Ethernet switch. For multi-transmitter deployments, a managed switch with IGMP snooping is highly recommended to prevent broadcast storms and ensure efficient bandwidth utilization.
