Distribution Modes

The transmitter can be used in matrix distribution and video wall setups when connected to a 1Gb network switch. It also operates as a direct HDMI extender in one-to-one or one-to-many configurations without a switch, providing versatile deployment options for both small and large AV systems.

Control and Integration

Integrated routing for IR, RS-232, and USB/KVM ensures that displays and connected devices can be managed centrally. This allows full control of system devices while maintaining synchronized video and audio performance across the network.

Power and Connectivity

The IP200UHD-TX can draw power directly from a PoE-enabled switch or an optional local power supply. This flexibility simplifies installation in locations where PoE may not be available while ensuring uninterrupted operation of the transmitter and connected devices.
