Blustream IP300UHD-TX 18Gbps UHD Video Transmitter

The Blustream IP300UHD-TX is an 18Gbps UHD video transmitter designed to send 4K HDMI video, audio, and control signals over a 1Gb managed network. Featuring full interoperability with the IP350UHD product line where Dante may be required, the IP300UHD-TX is an industry leading 4K HDCP2.2 HDMI transmitter that, using visually lossless compression technology, delivers 18Gbps HDMI, embedded audio, ARC / eARC / optical audio return, bi-directional IR, RS-232 & USB/KVM up to lengths of 100m / 328ft over standard copper network architecture, or greater distances using the in-built fibre SFP network interface.

The unit can be powered via PoE from the network switch, or locally should the switch not support PoE. With multiple configuration options available, the flexibility of a video over IP platform makes this solution ideal for a variety installation types across commercial and residential systems.
